  • @cholomondeleybiscuitt
    @cholomondeleybiscuitt 11 дней назад +1

    With regards to claying etc, a super-easy way to tell if the paintwork still has 'invisible' contaminants on it is to use a plastic food/freezer bag - Put your hand in the bag, spread your fingers and gently feel across the car's panels. The plastic bag acts as an 'amplifier' so that you can feel the invisible particles of contamination that you may have missed. You can then re-apply Tar Remover or go over gain with a clay bar. 😉
