I finally got around to claying the car which i was looking forward to but i had never clayed a car before and neither had the car been clayed so it was new too both of us, so take one dirty(ish) car:




add some sudds:



an it gives you this:



i then started claying the passenger side:





was really suprised as the paint was nice an smooth but i cant belive the difference

end product after a wax(not amazing pics but still get the idea):








reflection shot:

Looks nice fella, one thing though... did you wash the car before claying it or just wet it?

Claying makes one heck of a difference to he feel of the paint but will work much better if the cars been washed first so its only having to remove the bonded contaminants
Good to see you waxed after claying though, polishing is better after a clay session cause it will remove any marring caused by the clay but nice work

If you do go down the vts route make sure you get a good single plug vts engine. And make sure it's got decent miles on it and not space mileage.
