Anyone suggest a good clay bar to use on my 996 ? Nothing too expensive but decent quality one ? Then any tips for using (never used one before)

Thanks

R.

PS : Is it really worth using one? Car is 4 years old & never used one on it.

Swissol - www.swissol.co.uk/products/cleaning-products.asp - seems to have gone up in price though, am sure it was £11 recently.

Give Andy/Richard a ring 01423 797989 they will sort you out.

PHers reviews on Meguiars Quik Clay

I got it after reading the reviews there, Brilliant stuff.

Edit: I missed the 4 year old bit somehow. I used it on a 3 year old E-class that had never seen more than the local jet wash every few weeks. I was astonished how well it came up.

Aren't they all the same?

All the more reason to use one if your car is 4yrs old and never been clayed.

Its a great bit of stuff. Find some tips here. http://store.yahoo.com/autopia/inf-cl
ie., keep it soft and warm, keep truning it to a clean section, if you drop it, don't use it

Try it on the wife's car first

No - you don't use it on the seats

Not to worried about the seats - leather is reasonably wipe clean. It's the car v. solid object depreciation that I'm thinking of.

It seems that she is in the process of aquiring points so will probably find herself removed from the insurance to avoid any further expense (not that she is allowed to drive it anymore )
