Picked up a clay bar when I was in the states recently, never used one before, so I tried it on my Celica today. It is absolutely fantastic....easy to use,I did the whole car in about 30 mins after first washing it. Then I waxed. The finish is silky smooth and very shiney, and I could actually feel all the pollution and little metallic particles etc ( that are otherwise almost impossible to remove) being dragged out of the paintwork. Recommended most highly

Never found anywhere in the UK that sells them, bought mine from the States.
Maybe here can help, or a friend can ship them for you if they can't do it to your door?
www.3dproducts.com/ShowCatalog.jsp?ccode=004&code=AL1

If you're unsure about which one is best (to avoid streaks etc), go for the yellow (medium).

If there's enough interest, maybe a pal of mine can get a bulk order shipped to him, then he can send it accross the pond for me to distribute around the UK (unless Joel has some space in his case) or maybe somebody can pick some up at VOI8?

Hi,

Try here for a clay bar in the UK ( or rubber in Swissol talk).

www.morethanpolish.com/mtp/mtpswiss.asp

No connection, but the entire swissol range is rather good, you may have seen a chap called Mark Underwood (The Wax Wizard) crop up on various car forums, this is the product he uses.

Sorry about the delay, but the clay bars have ended up coming back in a container from the US, so it will take a few weeks.
