For a while now I've been really fed up to the back teeth with the finish on my car, no matter how much I was and polish it(I've even machine polished it) it still looks flat and lifeless once dry. I've just started hanging around on Detailing world and after a little bit of reading went out and bought a few products. I bought some clay(Bilt Hamber Original - Soft), Poorboys Black hole(no jokes please), and Poor boys Ex-P Sealant. The difference it's made to the few panels I've tried so far is amazing, the bonnet is like a big black mirror now. This looks like it'll be a slippery slope for me as after buying a couple of products I think I want to buy more to see how good they are as well......
I'll post some pics up in a few days.

Ok, having done quite a bit of the car now(although no all of it,lol) I've got to say that it does give a massive improvement, however....it's not shift all the minor flaws I had, I suppose the rest is down to maching polishing.
Passenger door after Claying, etc.....

I am no expert but claybar is one of the greatest things to invest in for shiney paint.
The crap it gets off your bodywork after you have cleaned it is amazing.

Like all good things, you just need to remember 'plenty of lube' :D
