Sounds cheap to me, if you use Bilt Hamber clay you only need water to use it, helps keep costs down!

Why a spray wax and why a very cheap one?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

It's just when I've done it before I used expensive spray wax and used alot of it and wiped it off once I've clayed the car. then i used the same wax to do the car as I would normally. am I doing it wrong? what's your way?

If your claying the car then you use a lube with the clay, something like megs last touch. After clay give the car a quick wash. Seal if wanted then wax. Choice down to you.

I've just been using the spray wax as a lube for the clay, it's the way I was shown by a mate. will check out the lube now tho :)

just got back from asda to and my store does not stock wax been to two :(

think I may just buy from the link as it's still very cheap for a spray wax :)

Makes more sense. You can use a quick detailer spray for lubrication. I prefer using Dodo Juice Born Slippy but also liked Megs Smooth surface clay kit.

Even with Bilt Hamber clay, I use Born Slippy instead of water.
