UBM Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Think the Megs has a deeper shine and it takes half the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 I'm yet to try claybar/QD but I will next time I have a good go at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 The claybar takes no time - just keep remoulding it and break it into three - you only need 1/3 for the whole car. I'm tight so am keeping mine in an airtight bag! to use again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Haha! I'll be tight too, Megs stuff doesn't come cheap does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 That looks VERY nice UBM, very nice indeed! I've taken a few more pictures of my car in an effort to show my latest efforts with the Zymol, but it's so difficult to capture the depth of shine in the photos with a primer car (well it is for me anyway! ) Not only that, I took them at hi-res and I can't compress them enough to upload them so I'll have to take some more when the car's clean and the sun is out... I'll definitely be giving the Meguiars waxes a go when the Zymol runs out. The clay bar worked wonders on my car as it was three years old when I bought it and I don't think it had ever been properly cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Mollox - try cleaning your car occasionally - you might find some more avid cleaning buffs - like myself and JC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Forgive Me Blingfather for I truly have sinned. Its been over SIX WEEKS since I last cleansed my car. It was prior to Le Mans that she was lovingly buffed and shined. She has been bearing the filth amassed traversing half of Gaul and must surely be coated in the oil and tears of the humbled supercars she put to rest on the way down. I don't know what to do - I've been working too late or its been raining every time I've had the chance. Please spare me and please tell me where I can find 24 hour Albanians so I can put my sin to rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, there's no point washing it, no-one would notice anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
