Meguiars Quck Clay Detaling Kit

[Freakin_Sweeet]

Am going to spend the next two days making my saxo look the nuts as Im going back to college soon and want to impress :P

Just wondering if anyone would reccommend The Meguiars Quck Clay Detaling Kit cause I saw it in Halfrauds nad thought it looked good, but as it was £23 thought id check it it was any good first :P

[Jacko]

yes mate it works great...ive used it twice and its been perfect both times...im not sure about other products having only used the quick clay...but i was saticfied :y:

[Ste]

Yea, worth the money tbh....

Super Resin Polish and some Zymol Cleaner Wax layered on top.

Will give a nice shine that should last a few washes if you use a light soap.

[Freakin_Sweeet]

Nice cheers will give it a go then :y:

get the quick clay stuff is sweet. try polishedbliss.co.uk to get it at £12 instead of £20+

[Freakin_Sweeet]

Bought it, used it, awesome :A: Will get pics up as soon as possible :y:

The quick detailer is good stuff it has many uses :) The clay will also give a great canvas for you to apply your polish/sealants/wax on. Should technically if applied correctly leave the paint feeling smooth without bumps on.

yeah its good stuff, took a load of orange stuff off my silver car :o

i paid £12 in halfords tho

when using the clay bar do you dry the car first and then clay it? only reason i ask is some people have done it after drying the car and some have done it when the car is wet?

[SaxoAL]

£12-£13 is for just the claybar and detailing spray,
whereas the kit that I and others got for £23 has 2 x claybars, detailing spray, cloths, and some cool after-wax stuff...

After i've washed and rinsed i then do the claying then rinse it down or wash it again. After its rinsed its then safe to dry.

Summary:

Wash, rinse, clay, wash, rinse, dry

Even after doing the clay your paint will look awesome! Does exactly what it says on the tin! Makes paint like glass :y:

[Freakin_Sweeet]

It really does make it like glass lol, i washed it dried it, clayed it then buffed it off, then waxed it nd buffed that off, awesome :y:

[-dav3vtr-]

[Freakin_Sweeet]

will do mate cheers:) how often do you clay your car?

[bensvarups]

I used this stuff over the weekend in conjuction with their paint cleaner, polish and wax.

All preceded with a proper wash and tar remover.

The clay does an amazing job, your body work will be so clean and feel like glass if done properly. It's all about time and effort!

i found that when i used it but was pleased over all with the results :y:

[Katana]

Yeah, for big bits of tar you are better off getting a tar dissolving liquid and wiping it off with a microfiber.
Clay is meant for bonded contaminants, here is a nice guide with illustrations of how to clay and what it does.

Detailing Clay: Starters' Guide (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4829)

I just use the PolyClay (http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/detailing-clay/cleanyourcar-fine-polyclay-240g-/prod_367.html) from Clean Your Car, you get twice as much clay as the Megs kit for the same price, sans the lube. You can make your own lube by mixing up some car shampoo and water in a spray bottle, it's what i do, a heck of a lot cheap than using Quick Detailer for lube.

would this stuff be any good for getin the glue off from the badges?
