You should have no problems getting clay in the UK. You will not regret buying clay.

CLAY CLAY CLAY! If you are worried then just do the hood to start. Feel the hood with your hands before you clay and then after...you will then see why you need to clay. :D

I`ve just ordered some 3M clay....It`s not cheap mind!

£18 seems rather a lot to me...I also purchased some 3m PI-III Machine polish and PI-III finishing glaze. This was good value at £11 for a litre, should last a lifetime!



I`ve decided to use products which are readily available here in the UK and having spent an awful lot of time reading over the last few days I`ve come to the conclusion that it`s far better to properly understand how to use a product than to go crazy searching for that miracle shine product(I don`t think it exists).

Once I`ve experimented and have a better understanding of different products more specific uses then I may buy more!! Practice makes perfect as is so often the case with just about everything in life.



I just bought some MF towels from believe it or not ALDI! They were £1 each and are in my opinon excellent. They areas thick as the megs miracle wipe I own and feature 70% polyester and 30% polyamide. I`ve absolutely thrashed a cd with these babies and can see no reportable marring.



£10 for 10 MF towels



Happy...In a word!

Once you have used clay, you will wonder how you ever lived without it. Dont forget to cut it up into small chunks. If you drop the clay - bin it. Also use on your windscreen.

I`m a believer as of last night and it was real simple to use. I said go for it and it will make your car nice and smooth.
