clay bar - W1ll - 02-04-2013
Hi
The paintwork on my car is terrible!
I have polish and then some dodo juice purple haze wax.. any suggestions on a clay bar I can use?
Also anyone got any tips on deep polishing etc, processes??

Liquid claybar is a waste of time and energy. You can pick up the dodo claybar, 2 bars for about £10
RE: clay bar - W1ll - 02-04-2013
what are the differences? pros/cons?

Best clay bar i have used well worth the price tag.

another vote for the bilt hamber. Only need water as lube too... So easy to work with

Yep I use the bilt one too,, cheap way for awesome results!
Just recently clayed polished and had two coats of dodo juice blue velvet on mine, super smooth.

Any tips on using them? (never used before)

Dodo juice blue velvet is a well and truely epic wax. Smells great, looks great and lasts for ever. I last waxed mine with one coat in july and if i clean the dirt off, it still beads a bit!

i have the purple haze, assuming theyre similar things?!

Fold the clay over Itself lots. Or you will just put loads of little scratches everywhere.
Keep well lubricated with water, clay lube, or quick detailer.
And if you don't plan to polish it afterwards I'd wipe down each panel after claying to stop those annoying water marks.
