My stuff arrived this morning. I got 3 new microfibre cloths, a big drying towel and the Collinite 476s wax.

Thumbs up to elitecarcare.com for delivering in under 24 hours.

Ooh another quicky, I've run out of the nice smelling stuff you get with the megs clay bar, but have loads of clay left, is there anything else I can use?

Going to give my car a good spring clean at the weekend. I'll post up piccys of the results.

Elite Car Care are brill, they're the best detailing place I've used so far

Do you mean the quick detailer? You can use a car shampoo and water mixture as a clay lubricant. I am using Megs Last Touch (the trade version of the QD) which is really good.

Here's some more info:

If you pop down your local Halfords/Motorworld etc, they should have some QD there.

Yeh the Quick detailer. That's good I can just use shampoo and water then. May buy some more just for the smell.. I think its cherry.

Cheers for all the help.

Haha, the QD does smell nice. Wait till you try the last touch, it smells like QD but with more of a coconutty smell, much like the Zymol car shampoo I used to have

I never use QD for claying - find it easier to, like Ollie said, use a shampoo water mix in a spray bottle. Make its quicker when washing the car after too.

I love last touch!

you say you use a soapy mixture? do you then go back over with the pressure wash before towelling dry??

Ok just got back from my parents house after spending 4 hours cleaning the car. This was mainly due to taking each wheel off and cleaning in the wheel arches.

Here are two pics I took after waxing with my new collinite. Quiet pleased but I think I need to spend more time preparing the paint work with clay and suer resin polish next time.
