I've never used a clay bar before, auto finesse had some massive discounts (up to 70% off end of line products) in January so I stocked up on nearly £200 of goodies for less than half that, including a clay bar and clay bar lubricant.

Now I've never used one before so I wasn't sure what to expect, I gave it a thorough jet wash as it was rather green from being laid up since October. I then washed it using the two bucket method and then dried it, on to the clay bar next. I was expecting a big car like the 940 to take ages to do but it only actually took about 45 minutes which was a pleasant surprise.

The amount of grime it took off was unbelievable, it was mainly yellow which means sap, I've got a triple polish (cutting compound, polish and wax in one) to do still and then apply carnauba wax after but so far I'm incredibly happy with the results.

I can't wait for it to stop bucketing down so I can get the polish and wax stage done, however I think it will need another wash before then.

I'll take some photos once done and stick them in my project thread.

If anyone is thinking of wether or not to use a clay bar then I would highly recommend.
