The G3 mitt is £10 from Halfords. Buy it and put your clay on eBay ;)

@shiny... im trying to get my car to shine so as its in your name, you are the person to listen to lol.

So I need to buy some shampoo. Im assuming once its clay waxed it will need to be washed again so I can wax and polish it
I came before the chicken.. The argument is now settled!!

Aye, wash, clay, wash, dry, polish then wax. The just wash, dry and quick detailer until it needs doing again.

Shampoo is up to you, I generally use a cheap mild car shampoo, one that doesn't strip wax. Meguiars Gold Class is pretty good if you can pick it up on a 3 for 2 offer in Halfords.

Once i have used all my clay up ill be using that. Its just a shame i have another 2 years worth of clay still to use. :x
I can bring my car round to yours next summer if you want to use some of your clay up... Anything to help a fellow luder
