Well of course I didn't 'need' a clay mit nor the buffers and shampoo bits and bobs I added to the order, but you know how it is...

The Meguiars Ultimate Compound I found to be very effective at lessening the scratches and removing swirls.

+1 on the Meguiars Ultimate Compoound recommendation. I did the whole car last weekend. Bloody tough work but results were pleasing. The best result was when I tried it on my very badly faded wing mirrors. They came up as black and looking new again. And to think I was about to shell out for some wing mirror covers. |

I have to admit that following on from reading all about this "mitt", I went out and purchased one and can honestly say was very impressed and how easy it was to bring a shine back to my old series. |

Second going over with said clay mitt. Have to say I like the look of the new black door handle covers.

I have taken to practically washing the car with clay mitt. I use a dollop or two more than normal of car shampoo and use the soft side of the mitt to wash panel then flip it over to the clay side and rinse.I then towel dry car and use a spray sealant works a treat Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
