Quality motor mate.
In your first post, "still need to clay" what do you mean by that ?

[wizard]

I think he means clay bar it. Clay bars remove over spray and other contaminants, they look like plastercine and you use them wet

[seanrd]

Spot on Wizard. Its a pre cleaning method for removing any grit, tar spots, dead bugs and other small inperfections before the final top coat of polish and wax. Requires a bit of time but the results are brilliant.

Where can one get this Clay bar??

[JonW]

nice work Sean, cool mota as well. Ive just ordered a Polo GTI with all the fruit, Ive owned more VW products that you can shake sticks at over the years, usually they have been good bets

Any decent car shop AutoGlym do a set. The spray, clay bar, cloth and all the usual for about £18

or if your on a budget or tight like me use a big lump of blu-tac and a bucket of soapy water,works great for removing fall out from rail way lines too.
