acf8181 0 Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 ok....i've tried it out on my mkII...and to be honest, it didn't blow my mind. maybe my cars are just quite clean anyway, better test woudl be on my mothers crapalier (she abuses it). Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 maybe i spoke too soon!!having felt it didn't do much on the mkII, i cleaned the vr6 and didn't bother using the clay bar...results, well, if you run your hand lightly over both cars and compare, the mkII is silky smooth and the vr6 feels slightly rough! will use it next time i think!

stu h 0 Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 it makes a massive difference. do a patch on the vr and compare the difference Link to post Share on other sites

cav 0 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 be careful using the megs bar if your not machining after as it can mar and leave small scratches. A better clay would be the Sonus Green clay. its a finer clay that is less harsh to the paint. It can be used on the paint glass wheels etc etc Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 i used the meguiars clay bar on mine, scratched my wing on the swage line! not happy! binned it shite! never again! just back to polish and hard work for me Link to post Share on other sites
cav 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 if you have swirls etc... try using auto glym SRP (super resin polish) this has a filler type quality. also easy for hand use. two - three coats and most swirls should be covered. then apply 2 layers of wax 24 hours apart (make sure the car is covered or something between the layers.

binliner 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 no point using more than one coat of SRP as surely each coat will take off the previous one? Link to post Share on other sites
cav 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 There is no abrasives in it so it doesn't. wouldn't advise any more than 3 coats though. Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 i just thought i would see how efective the clay bar was, i dont have damged paint or many swirls but just thought i would give it a try, found it absolutely poxy to work with and then found it marked my one unmarked paint! fooking shite idea, i just stick to elbow grease and decent polish, not a fan of Auto glym due to all the white shiiiite it leaves behind in the gaps, meguiars tech paste wax is best i find, gives a really deep shine to the paint Link to post Share on other sites
Kaz 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Clay's great. I used Sonus grey on the roof of my VR as it had little dots of white stuff that I think may have been paint, after 15 minutes work they've all come off. If you find it's marring the paint, try using more lube. Spray the clay and the car each time. Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzark 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yeah, I'm a big fan of clay since the first time I used it.Had no problems at all and wouldn't do without it now.If you're unsure get a non abrasive type and use lube or soapy shampoo (which I use) to keep it slipping. The non abraisives will still grab most of the embedded rubbish and crap sitting "glued" to the surface and that's mostly what you want it for. Link to post Share on other sites
4mobora 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 will it get rid of swirl marks??? Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 To be honest no hand applied polish will do a decent job on swirl marks, it'll just fill themspotted about SRP aswell, it has got abrasives in it, as does ultra deep shine,but less. EGP is the one that has no abrasives and if you were to start layering, SRP for light colour cars, Ultra deep shine for dark cars, the layer up the EGP and carnuba, Ive done my mystik blue vr and my sis black mica scooby today and the both look resprayed using those products Link to post Share on other sites
4mobora 0 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 just got the meguires clay kit and did a tester bit defianatly the nutz it will give a good base to wax properly shines it up like glassi don't rate that ultra deep shine auto glym stuff mines black it didnt feel right going on and was worse taking it off still got traces of it on the paint in fiddly areas srp was a lot better imo maybe with the clay bar ill try them again see wot appens Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 clay bar then meguiars 3 stage...its the way forward..clearly i only use the meguiars NXT polish and wax at the moment but as soon as the queen fills my bank account back up with money im getting the 3 stage polish kit...craig (craggsy) has converted me after i saw how gleaming his car came up with it at Billing show....even though he was still drunk he didnt do a bad job Link to post Share on other sites
MattBVR6 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I took a trip to halfords over the bank holiday and got the Meguiars clay kit.I polish my car weekly so i didn't think it would do too much but i thought i'dgive it a try anyway.Fook me!! Its proppa quality. I was amazed at how much of a difference it makes and its really easy to do. comes off so easy and then once the wax is applied, that comes off just as easy to give a deep glossy shine. WELL IMPRESSED!! If you havent already, TRY IT!! YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED!!! Link to post Share on other sites
twin twotone turbos 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 TBH i did not think that a bit of clay would make a difference I bought the Meguires Kit today and what an amazing finish. Best £22.99 i ever spent. Link to post Share on other sites

Who needs em :-p I must be doing something wrong or does it not really work on Laquered finish.[/quote']I think 4mobora is saying it's hard work if you include the megs 3 stage system afterwards. That's at least 6 passes over the entire car which I'm afraid I wouldn't have the stamina for in one day. Claying itself is pretty easy and rather theraputic I thought. One of those "ooh look what I've been missing" moments.If it gets dirty and the surface gets clean and slick, you're doing it right. Link to post Share on other sites
