I did not use clay when I done mine, never had any or never had lol.
I hear white spirit is good for renovating paint work
.
disclaimer
The comment about the white spirit was a joke if any one is dumb enough to do it, its your fault not mine.

From halfords i'd say either megs or autoglym clay kit, super resin polish, as for wax autoglym HD is really good but its £15 cheaper to get it off ebay!

I k ow very little about cleaning all I do at the min is probably once every 2 weeks give it a wash and a polish that's it if you wanna clay yours I think all it does is take off all the dirt on the exterior but it's not a quick process... Takes hours I think.
So is it...
Wash
Clay
polish
Wax ?.
In that order ?.
Appreciated godderz and alex oh and congrats on the callender bud
