Cornishdrummer's Progress Thread - :( (pg 23)

Deep scratches will need to be machined out dude. But it's not as easy as it looks, do a bit of research before you try doing yours, or practice on a scrap panel etc.

Clay gets rid of little tar spots, tree sap etc, all the bits you can't really see but makes your panels feel smooth like glass.

Clay makes no difference to the look, just the feel. So no any will do. Buy it as a set from Halfords or something so you get the clay with some speed detailer chucked in.
