So usually I use a BH clay bar, but haven't used it for ages and it just take so long

I bought this from halfords http://www.halfords.com/motoring/ca...iling-products/farecla-g3-body-prep-clay-mitt

And in 2 hours, I washed it, clayed it and just ran over it with my da with meguiars ultimate compound, only 2 passes over each panel, very quick as I was going out, but it came up so well, the paintwork felt like sandpaper before, now it's so smooth, the clay mitt was brilliant, I don't think il use a bar ever again! I can't wait to give it more polishing when I get a chance, I will give it a quick hand polish and wax for Sunday but it does need a full correction when I have a spare 2 days!

Thanks for the recommendation - seriously need to clay and have been putting it off, I reckon this could be the thing to save me some time and get the job done!

I am out of Demon Shine so Halfords imminent for a 3 for 2, a mitt and a couple of bottles of DS

Has anyone tried the other DS products in the range....is it all the same stuff with a different colour as I use my DS on everything.

Did no one on here get the demon shine kits from morrisons last month? They were doing the gift packs, with I think 6 bottles of stuff RRP £30 down to £5, it was all over facebook

The DS snow foam isn't great but on the plus side i reused the DS snow foamer container and it works great with a decent snow foam product in it.

I was surprised how good this clay mit actually was. Took me a lot less time than the clay bar and the surface is now super smooth. Great recommendation from the forum

Literally washed and clayed the car in 20 mins, just followed by several passes with my da with meguiars ultimate compound, nothing major or corrective, just very quick, iv bought some menzerna fg400 for when I get a spare 2 days!! Which will happen probably in about 2020 at this rate

How the **** can you wash a car in 20mins. It takes me that long to get all the flipping kit outside!

Maybe I am being too slow?

I am very fast haha, I find it painful seeing other people wash and how long they take just giving it a 'quick' wash and rinse

My car was covered in overspray last week, so I use the clay mitt to remove that, it was brilliant yet again, about 15 mins the whole car was silky smooth again
