Thought it was about time The Pearl had a some TLC...
(Only because a friend gave me his unused TurtleWax Black Box!!)
Looks a bit daunting, but "No-Pain, No-Gain" eh?
Hope it doesn't rain at the weekend ! :huh:

Clay..

its prob one of the best ways to decimate paint.

Get an Auto Glym Clay kit from Halfords mate, feel the paint after clay, you will be amazed with the difference.

Clay kit, is WELL WORTH IT!, Clay my old shed down,polish,wax it and it transforms it,the marks and scratchs are still there however everything goes so shiney,you cannot notice them!.

Bad side, it takes for ever!,wings,doors,boot lid are ok,but wait until you do the roof.i get bored half way across!

Clay rocks. IF ya run out of the spray stuff it comes with (You will) just use washing up liquid with water, works just as good. You literally SEE the results.
