    I did my Cav on saturday, that is one big car to clay bar.

    To be honest, the Autoglym stuff was 100 times better that i expected. It's as smooth as a babys ar$e.

    Pretty much my opinion of Megs stuff. Maybe the Megs stuff isnt the cheapest at £20 but it does come with detailer, more fool anyone that wastes that on claying!

    It lifts air borne contaminants from the paint...

    What that means is, when you really think you have washed & scrubbed your paint & dried it, its nowhere near as smooth as it could be if you'd clayed it. Once clayed you will get a far better finish from polishing & waxing. Its very satisfying to use, basically like rubbing your car over with Blu-tac. It makes your paint feel like stroking a sheepskin rug.

    £9.99 gets you a LARGE bilthamber clay bar that only needs water as the lube.... you cant get much cheaper/better than that.
