Claying lubricant problems
I'm bored, very bored. So bored that I have purchased a clay kit from Halfrauds and attacked my car. I'm impressed by the smoothness even though stroking the car to find bits I have missed draws looks and rude comments from passers by. My problem is having to wash the car again and again just to get rid of the smears. Is there something out there that I can use on a black car in direct sunlight that will cope better?
At this rate I'm going to buy a buffer, the w@nkers cramp is killing me and I'm clicking in funny places. Bill

Claying will cause maring so you will need to follow it up with a polish

What's Maring and what sort of polish? All I did after so far was a soft turtle wax applied by hand to seal the surface. What should I have done? Bearing in mind it's the bootlids and doors turn this afternoon
