Clayed Her.... [Updated]
After spending a good 5 hours cleaning (was too nice to stay indoors today), including removing the wheels to clean and cleaning the arches i came up with the below. I used the following process:
I have always been quite meticulous when cleaning cars and always done it very throughly - or so i thought when claying the car. Even after washing the car it looked very clean. However, after a single wipe of the clay over a door the clay was covered in dirt and a sort of sap colored substance. After I have finished claying it looked like id spent hours polishing and the paintwork was soooo smooth. For those who haven't yet tried claying, I'd definately recommend it. Applying the polish/wax and buffing off was noticeably easier after claying.
Anyway, enough banter, here are the pics (taken on a k800i unfortunately, wish i have a decent camera):
