Clay bar

Just a reminder Andy. Once clayed the paint has no protection so make sure you finish off with a good wax the same day before you drive the car again. Also some waxs may require a pre oil of the paint prior to the wax coat...check your brand.

All good stuff this, get's you sort of excited at the thought of it all.
Newton,
I can start looking for a Spa type place if you wish, Lady Stig & Lady Emtee have just come back from one which was superb apparently, that was near York though, middle of the country. Fancy a weekend in York anybody, other halves will enjoy it too..??

Andy, also purchased DJ pre & wax

So sequence would be
-clay
-pre wax ? - is this still necessary ?
-wax

Was wondering the same....as the clay is sort of a prewax.....After using the prewax it seems to me that it is like a polish though.....

In the dodo juice range, sequence is
- clay
-wash car
- dodo juice lime prime
-dodo juice wax

I don't know what the dodo juice pre-wax is but an oil feed to the paint before wax is only going to be good. Just avoid anything containing silicone.

Looks like the lime prime could be a sort of degreaser..??

They call it a pre wax cleanser. There are two versions- normal and lite.
The normal contains micro abbrasives and acts as a polish as well as a cleanser. The lite does not.
It was explained to me that if i am not machine polishing, to use the normal one with the micro abbrassives and then to wax. If you are machine polishing use the lite after polishing and then finish with wax.
