Been working on the car since about half 11 this morning, started by changing the 3rd brake light then the cleaning started, started with autoglym shampoo, gave it a rinse then dried with a chamois, then started the claying,then she got buffed up with super resin polish and then some meguirs wax, squeaky clean lol

so if this is the first time that you have clayed, what would you say was the main difference, ie , smoothness , more shiney , paintwork less duller ?
.. just that i was thinking of getting a megs clay myself and giving it a go.

It just gives a better finish, and when you rub your paint you can't feel any contaminants on the surface
