    That's very impressive "shinyness".

    What brand of clay did you use? I've never clayed a car before polishing and waxing it but I'm thinking about it this time!

    Looking good there.

    What are you going to polish it and wax it with.
    Do you polish by hand or machine?

    I really like Sonus green clay for light claying. I think it works better than the Megs clay kit and it leaves less marring.

    It was the megs,, will nead to get some of the sonus green. I have just bought some Bilt-Hamber Auto-clay (you use tap water as a lub), and they have now brought out a soft clay (more stuff to buy)

    Ian I was going to use sonus final finish polish put on with the G220 followed by Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze and final a couple of coats of Supernatural wax.... buffed with the G220 ( I am diong any thing wrong? still getting into this detailing stuff)

    to be honest I have never used Sonus polish. My mate has some sonus pads for his PC and they are pants compared to the megs or 3M ones. I mainly use 3M or Menzerna polishes. Im on Zymol wax at the mo but have not heard any reviews of supernatural yet. I go onto detailing world quite regular, its always worth checking out on there.
