Clay Bar

[plotter]

One of my cars has a problem with sticky spots caused by I think tree sap,they are very difficult to remove however i have been told clay bar is the thing for the job,whilst I can get it off Ebay I would rather get it from a shop where I can discuss the problem and be told how to use the stuff.So the question is are there any shops in a radius of around 30 miles of Birmingham that sell it.

Autoglym do a Clay bar detailing kit,their website list Fletchers in Aston as a stockist.More are listed on their website.There is also a video on Youtube showing use of it.

you'll get a meguiar's clay kit from any halfords store for £25. meguiar's is probably the best clay kit on the market.

Thanks folks I will pop into Halfords on the morrow. Fletchers I regret no longer exists.

For all the information you need about using and buying a clay bar log into WWW.detailingworld.co.uk. This is a site dedicated to REALLY cleaning cars. I find it fascinating the lengths some people will go to keep their car clean. I have learned a lot since visiting this site although not prepared to go as far as some.

I have now got the clay bar from Halfords and weather permitting will give it a go later and report back.

Myself also,I can remember buying some Rover 2000 seats and fitting them into a morris 1000 traveller,bit tight as you can imagine but they reclined.They used to buy loads of end of line Austin Rover bits but with the decline of the midlands motor industry they are a knock on casualty,
Best wishes
