Have some rep i have noticed you know your stuff when it come to detailing and you have helped me out before! One last thing is the lube in that guys ebay shop and then i can get it sent at the same time!

Will any towel do? I have some microfibre clothes but do i need a different sort?

Thanks Mate

PS I owe you a rep!

cant see the lube on there

only had a quick look tho

it is best to wash after claying as you may leave bits of clay on it and gets rid of the lube then not that the lube will do harm

I've got the Megs quick detailer which I use when I clay and I can highly recommend it. You'll find you only need to do it once a month or less often if you keep on top of the cleaning.

I was thinking about clay barring it and then waxing it with the cheap zymol wax, not the £1000 pound stuff, i think autoglym make it! From that ebay store there was sealants etc should i use these or is wax fine?

it will only damage paint if you use no lube but not major damage
