    What a differnce from start to finish - cracking job. How long did that take you then? Serious question as I want to do mine (and the wife's Astra) at some point and I'd like to have an idea how much time I need.

    I do like white cars. Cracking job there Alex. I think a few of us have been out cleaning the cars today. As John H says though Get a coat of paint onto those calipers. Even if it's plain silver!

    PS

    When I clay I spray a small area 12" x 12" and use circular motions. It seams to work...When You say straight lines do you mean dragging along the full length on the bonnet in a staright line say?

    I started at about 10.30am and finished at about 2.30pm. It all depends how much work you want to put in.

    At the detailing days I've been to they've always said you should clay in reasonably short straight lines.
