For anyone who is interested, i can highly recommend using the claybar and lube, what a difference to the finish, no word of a lie, the miggy looks like showroom condition.

She is a pearlescent finish, black, and the claying took every slight scratch, blemish out of the paint/clearcoat.

It is hard work, ie washing, claying, washing, waxing, buffing and finally a gloss coat.

Took me approx 8 hours, as i did all the door inners and B pillar inners also.

But well worth it.

I need a new bottle of spray and clay bar, when funds allow. I can recommend Meguiars, about £20 from Halfords, it really does bring a car up like brand-new.

If I knew what

a claybar and lube

was I might actually understand this thread !!

I spent all day on Sunday cleaning mine. Must have spent a good 8 hours. Problem is, you would never know I'd done it now.  

Good news is that I was a bit annoyed at the fine scratches in my windscreen, and by a stroke of pure luck a stone flew up today and left a nice crack. So, on Monday, I will have a shiny new windscreen for the princely sum of £60.  8-)

How do you get the swirls out of the paintwork? I've clayed mine but I'm still left with fine swirls. Always polish with Autoglym Super Resin Polish and finish with the shiny shiny top coat but still can't get rid of those pesky swirls.

Resin polish is slightly abrasive, I use the Autoglym ULTRA DEEP SHINE, put this on very lightly then buff off, no swirls, I only use the resin polish every six months.

So how about a "How to" with step by step explaination of what and how to use

Have a look mate, it is very indepth, if your into it, it is interesting, if not, it can get a bit boring.
