After latest wash, polish and wax.

I'm never satisfied with the finish of my car. Apart from claying, I don't know what else I can do. I'm afraid claying would be too much like hard work for an old arthritic like me.

You want to get some young whippet to do it for you

Looking nice and shiny anyway, always liked that blue

Don't worry about claying - it's much less hard work than polishing!

Really? Wish I'd known that before I nearly killed myself polishing and waxing! Trouble is, I'd have to do everything all over again. Oh 'eck.

You mustn't rub hard with clay or you can do damage. All you do is glide it over the surface through whatever lubricant you are using for it. It takes a bit of time but no significant pressure is needed.

Looks like you've made a very nice job. I love Royal Blue on 75s.

Grumpy1 · 8th August 2013, 19:32

Thanks for that Fraser. She's going to have to do for a while. It will just be a wash and dry 'til I'm fully recovered! Can't face all that pain and suffering for a while yet.

Chad,

Looks very nice indeed, surprised we have not seen each other yet! Be sure to wave if we do :-)

I'll certainly wave if I see you Mark. Which end of S-in-A are you. I'm at the New Cross end of Outram Street. My car's usually parked on Beighton Street.

Chad.
