if you do use G6 rubbing compound don't use neat unless youv'e got big arms try it with damp cloth, it spreads a lot easier and not as abbrasive.and if your going to be using machine to do it try using G3 instead. ClayBar I found you need a nack using the claybar and lube.it's case of applying the right amount of lube not to much and not to little.but it does feel smoth after it's been applied same as the rubbing compound. I'ts a lot work to do but once it done it makes waxing the a breeze !amazed for months i get my merguirs stuff from www.speeding.co.uk as it's all free delivery
