I am planning to give the c70 a once over as soon as the weather breaks but not sure what clay bar to buy? Its either megs smooth surface clay kit or the autoglym or mer versions.
My plan is:
1. Snow foam.
2. wash with Farecla G3 detox shampoo.
3. Clay.
4. autoglym super resin polish.
5. then finish with either Farecla super gloss paste wax or Autoglym high definition wax.

Anything you guys would do different?

I just clayed the R, I have 3 types of clay all are mild, 2 are megs and the other one I dont think is available any more for some reason, I just checked and I liked that better :( !!! dam. You might think clay is clay but you do notice a difference between the brands, the one that I cant get was softer and felt easier to work with. Go for the megs started clay kit.

I like the sonus clay but megs is just as good. I'd be happy to help you detail your car to give you a decent finish worth putting wax on? I have a certain level of skill and experience
with these things...

Oh Yeah I was meaning to say that if you wax then polish, you are rremoving your wax barrier that you have just applied. Hope this helps
