Clay bar are fun  to use  :). Just use plenty of lubrication (50:50 shampoo and water in a spray bottle will do )

And what ever you do dont drop it !!!! It will pick up all kind of crap 

They come in bars so cut some off and work it with your hands to make it soft. 

Make sure you work it again after each panel so you always have a clean side.

Wash your car before , best to use a snowfoam as pre wash 

You can clay all glass and lights too 

Slight down side all paint chips will show as clay will pick up all dirt lol 

Polish and wax at the end to protect :) 

And show us the results !!!

Well weather has stopped play but so far all i can say is clay is fantastic to use and lifts everything, you can actually feel it lifting stuff off the bodywork and leaving a ultra smooth finish

the 1st image is a clayed side and the other pic is unclayed you cant really see much difference but i`m sure Piotr will agree you have to feel the difference more than see it 

tomorrow weather permitting i will finish the clay then get a good coat of wax on the car :yahoo:

After the clay work the paint work looks stunning, bear in mind i have not even polished and sealed the car yet

A smoke grey colour would look good.

*edit* the colour I mean is anthracite
