Will get a professional to get it opti coated .I got over spray all over it when I sprayed some black enamel the other day , bugger its all over it . I used some wax and greese remover on the windscreen which gotvrid of it . But the paint I will get done by someone . Fitted some grandpa spec side shields to stop wind and rain. Also new wiper blades .and cleaned the inside to get rid of the cobwebs . Looks way better now , well 2 years does that .I am very happy with how everything has turned out so far . I know it could have gone a lot smother but it did not , but that is all history now . Thanks again to the people that stuck with me and helped me out .

It was on there god knows how long and the clay bar removed it. Just don't drop the clay on the ground and keep the panel lubed up while you do it. If you drop the clay throw it away.

I use it with wash and wax formula. my steps are wash car, 2 bucket method. new bucket of wash formula. or even wash n wax formula will work here and dip clay in there. then rub side to side not in a swirl motion. just lovely side to side with barely any pressure. you also want to like knead the clay regularly or fold it or something I forget. regularly dip clay in bucket to keep it lubricated. without lube you will tear the cars arsehole open, similar to if you go round in circles with the clay. wash car again and ask the car how it wants you to finish. overspray on windows comes off with clay too. and/or you can razorblade the windows, just go light and it will all come off and of course watch the rubbers. the clay bar comes with some spray and that works but I prefer more lubrication - especially on a car that has never seen a clay bar.

Do what johnno has said and you'll be sweet. You gotta keep kneading the clay and keep it lubed up and back and forth or side to side motions. Here's a vid my mate done. Shows how to do it. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1741845876066132&id=1637282506522470 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
