Anybody recomend a good claybar and lube and what is the best way of using them.

[Terbs]

Don't know anything about clay bars Paul.
But lube......when you come to our Wycombe meet, I'll sit in a corner and have a quiet chat with you. Not really for public publication

Sorry buddy, could not resist

ClGay bars and lube? It's not going to be "one of those" meets, is it?

I havent been on here that long really, but this used to be such a lovely family style forum lol

I know it's all gone terribly wrong... 

I blame that Lovemuff fella, he's into self flagellation and dressing up dogs you know....

On a serious note Paul....Its a shame you missed the first Wycombe meet. Ianu gave a superb demonstration into the use of clay bars. I believe MarkC used a clay bar on his motor, and there are pics in the Gallery. Probably tells you which one he used.

When I eventually summoned up the courage and willpower to do mine, I used a Meguiars "kit" as it came with everything, bar, lube, cloths and sealing wax ...hard work and an omega is a large car !! b ut well worth it in the end

Agreed, Meguiars is probably the best stuff .

Yep, agreed, a very good kit

Yes, Kevins front wing came up brilliant, Its marvelous what claying does....
But.....as I said on the day, with the time it took, the lawn is now a foot high and the misses has run off with the milkman

I would love to do mine, but I am afraid my concentration span would not last

It is time consuming ... I did mine last year ... it took a whole weekend, by the time you wash/chamois the car; claybar/wash/dry each panel; polish (AutoGlym); then finally, wax it ... it is a lot of work, aching arms/shoulders, and a vow never to do it again !!!... but I plan to redo mine this year as it really does make a massive difference to the appearance.

You can do it faster if you want to comprmoise the results slightly.

The approach of wash, dry, clay bar to remove contaminants, compund/cut, synthetic wax is easily done in a long afternoon
