Wash, then use some Autoglym Bug and Tar remover...

Then Claybar

Then Compound

Then Glaze

Then Wax

Where can you get clay bars from in the UK?

And what do you use for lube (for the claybar!

)?

Deek.

Ha ha ha, I was going to suggest the same thing, I've seen some in the Poundland shop (not that I go there...but they do have cheap batteries!) for a pound which almost makes them disposable!

Give it a good going over following Josh's instruction and then cover up...will make people wonder what you have under there too...could it be a Porsche? a Ferrari? or even better a VW? ha ha ha!

You spray a mixture of water and car shampoo onto the car before using the clay bar making sure the surface is wet before going over it, works wonders!
