After using a clay bar on my daily run around I was amazed by the results.
It just added that extra depth and reflection to the paint.
its got me considering it on the TVR, however I know TVR paint is known to be softer than mass produced cars.

Anyone got any experience, advice or comments??

Yes I've clayed my car along with many other owners and the results are amazing as you've aware. Go ahead use a fine grade and follow the usual instructions as as with any car and you'll be fine.

In my experience the myth about TVR paint being 'softer' than that of other cars is just that.

Clayed mine too, several times. Great results. It may well remove any wax on the paintwork, so you should then apply some treatment once the clay has done its work.

Correct you clay after a wash, then read after, do it twice a year the same time you apply you will be reapplying your wax in your big clean etc.

Also a great new tool is the clay MIT.

Start by washing the car and then going over the car with quick detailer and a microfibre cloth. Make sure it is squeaky clean before claying.

Do the whole car. Take your time and enjoy it wink

Clay tends to cause slight marring and removes wax, so use a polish and then a wax on top to finish off
