Chers all.

ive only used it once , from what i saw it removes all the little bits

of grit tar and bits of s**t thats stuck to the paint , all the rough

bits you usually find behind the wheels can usually be removed with

clay bar but be careful how you use it as you can end up making a mess

of yer paint job

Comes with a bottle of detailer to spray on and its fine and easy to use as long as you keep the paintwork wet.

I was amazed how much difference it made for how little effort.

BE WARNED , if you drop the clay on the ground when your using it chuck

it in the bin right away , what will happen is if it makes contact with

the ground little bits of s**t will stick to it and when you use it

again the little bits of S***t thats stuck to it will make a mess of

your paint ie/ lots os swirls and scratches

The guy that owns PB is from Aberdeen and was at the SIDC day up at Alford. A few of the guys have bought stuff from him and he posts a lot in the car care section over at SN. Spoke to his wife up at Alford and she gave me some good advice.

Where can I buy a clay bar tomorrow morning...?  Might do Julie's car tomorrow afternoon - it needs clay bar'd before I put the Klasse/Carlack 68 on it & some proper wax.
