I've got some Meuliers (sp?) with a clay bar I dont need anymore if you live near Surrey Quays. PM me if you want it. But as said above, it does only cost £12 from Halfords.............
And it works really well to remove all the crap and imperfections in the paint surface of your car too!

Do you want someone to pay your petrol money to go and collect it too
Edited by elms on Thursday 19th April 18:32
That's kind. Are you offering?!
Truth be known I recently lost mine which i got when i ordered a kit. I would like the same again but can't bring myself to pay the obligatory 4 squid p and p for an item that costs 8 squid. Tight i know.
What's a clay bar and how do you use it?
Did a search and read a post on this and it involves three hours of polishing - three hours!
Type 'detailer' into PH search and put your feet up. May cost more than 8 quid (plus p&p) but a better use of your time.
Perhaps some of us find car polishing a light form of catharsis....I always thought the full Porsche experience came with the expectation of some serious polishing action...

Ravi, I see you're a "strategy consultant". In my experience anything suffixed by the word "consultant" guarantees at least a #700 a day invoice....
I don't have the nouse (or the balls) to go freelance. We strategists are a much tougher sell as contractors than those IT boys.
if you say the words "i'm as tight as a badgers arse, and I wouldn't give my grandmother 50p to put in her gas meter" i'll pay for a clay bar to be sent to you

It'll picks up/grinds off loads of tiny little bits of debris that get stuck on your cars paint that washing/polishing won't remove.

Ravi, tight isn't the word to describe you!
After offering up my clay bar and nearly full bottle of application fluid, Ravi PM's me and asks if I could send it to him!! I'm happy for someone to pick it up but I'll be damned if I'm going to fork out for postage!

I nearly replied a little more constructively pointing out that once he had paid someone £5 or so to cover postage of half a litre of detailing spray he may as well go buy one but I thought "nah that's stating the obvious".. that's just unbelievable tbh!
I was following this thread to find out what a clay bar was, then thought there's an awfull lot of twaddle being written about the bloody thing, and what happens next, even waste some time contributing to it. How sad!
Looking forward to the weekend, got a big halfords superstore near home......need to check out the latest clay bars.
ravi..i have some you can have ..old stuff mind you..also has a few stones in but im sure you could put it through a siv .....good luck tigh a**e......

Anyone got one in good nick that they dont want anymore? Sorry about the dull post im just feeling a little tight at the moment.
How did you afford internet time long enough to post this?

probably gone to do some honest work and save up 12 notes for a trip to halfords?
more likely: run forrest, run.
come out, come out, wherever you are - this is no fun if you don't respond.
PS I think the 'tight arse' log in is still available if you wanted to change it (does need an update, doesn't it?)

Strategy Consultant with a C4 911 and a post count of about 1 per fortnight pops on here wondering if someone will send him a free clay-bar and pay for the postage? If ever a FFS was justified, this is it.

Good to hear. I think Halfords have them at 12 quid, which sounds fair to me.

Seriously,are you not embarressed begging for a £10 freebie from people on a forum ?
Some people have just got no shame.
Buy it from a shop like everyone else.
Do you want some second hand toilet paper as well ?
There was a bloke at the railway station asking everyone today for 90p to buy some coffee because he didnt have a job.
Probably scrounges £50 a day.
Most people just ignored him.
I told him to "f**k off and get a job like the rest of us"loud enough so about 10 people could hear it.
Get my drift ?

Nah,the f**ker at the station pisses me off everyday begging for money,20 years old,able bodied,white,british born so no excuses,smoking canabis which you can smell from 10 yards.

I must be downhill as I am at the bottom bordering with Staffordshire, so it can only be down on the map :-)
In exchange I have my tax disc from the year before last that I no longer need?
you're all very funny - but how does this help the gnatt's-chuff tight OP??
i, on the other hand, have 'loads' of insects that've been squished by my bonnet - i'd happily donate these (hell, i'd even pay for postage, that's how generous i am). that way, the OP can scatter them on his car and then he'll really see what a difference the clay bar can make (assuming he's managed to scrounge one off someone in the last 7 months)

Don't worry about that. I'll open the doors and wait for a strong gust of wind to power me back up the hill. I can also use the kindly donated tax disc as a small but useable sail. Home Ahoy !!

Has anyone got some spare porkers they could send 'round to my house and leave for me to drive? I only have a (lowly) 944, and would quite like to try something a bit smarter, but can't be ar*ed to go and buy one ... I quite like the looks of those 993's, but if it has to be a 996 I have heard that the GT3's are the ones to go for!
I seem to be a bit short on offers here.
Tell you all what. I'll swap half a (used) clay-bar AND some rubber scraped off the road for a decent 993.
In fact, I'll even throw in a few flies, for good measure. You can't say fairer than that, now can you? What? You want more? OK, (and it kills me to say this), I have some old brake pads from my Golf I took out about a year ago. You can have them too. There's nearly a whole millimetre of pad left on them too - 500 miles worth.
OK now, please form an orderly queue ....

Ravi944 said:
Guys this is all good stuff but a little off piste. Any serious offers out there?
Why don't you call up your OPC and ask for a free service? They will probably give you a free valet why the car is in, that way you won't need to use a clay bar when you get the card back!
If Ravi was to put his mind to it, theres actually a profit to be made from his clay bar.
By claying his car and carefuly removing the grit from the bar, he could actually go into business selling Pork Scratchings.

Actually, there's a bit still left on the core.... Ravi, what's you address?
I get the sense with the prevailing cynicism on this thread that it's unlikely that i'll get the desired result. Probably end up selling the 964 then and buy a barge instead. Anyone got any spare deck lacquer?

So is it free to ski off piste?
Only if you follow this top tip on saving on ski lift passes.
You and a friend (assuming you have one) need to climb up a mountain that you can ski down on at least two sides. Attach a long length of rope between the two of you and then you have to ski down to the bottom of the mountain while your friend waits at the top. When you get to the bottom your friend can then ski down the other side of the mountain while simultaneously dragging you up the other.
Repeat as often as you like.
But the laws of physics and all that . . .
Wouldn't you have to have a Fat Mate weighing twice as much as you to pull you up as he (or she) goes down the mountain?

Para you're a tight arse. Can't believe you won't do the postage. Should we call you scrooge?
oxalic acid is good and cheap get it from the chemist though,removes traffic film industrial fall out,metalic residue like if you park at a train station,easily sponge on hose off no energy or scratches,also removes all old polish ect does not mark bright work ect,
as long as its not to strong 1/4 of a cup to a bucket of cold water!
buff and wax after,
for a paint shop finnish use 3m finnese it with a foam pad wash off residue apply fav wax
gary
On a side note, tried the Clay Bar last week, unbelievable. Removes a lot of s
t, even small bits of tar. Downside is it highlights all the stone chips etc
, so much so I'm sending my 996 in for front bumper respray. Maybe I just wanted an excuse

Are you having the front bumper done only or you having the bonnet done too? My bonnet needs doing big time, how much is a respray?
Hi Woogie, I'm over in Ireland and got quoted 300 euro(240 quid) for front bumper and wing mirrors. Just the usual stone chips from 16k motorway miles. Bonnet is still very clean. Guy comes highly recommended and very reasonable.

Love to know if you find one Ravi that doesn't leave you re-mortgaging the house before too long
. Some very tasty one's in the classifieds, but the word 'cheap' wouldn't really describe them.

i'd never have guessed
If anyone is interested I gave my car a little too much right foot coming off a side road onto the A23 and left some black marks on the road. They are proper N rated Michelins so if you popped down there with a pallette knife you may be able to recover some rubber and stick it onto your wheels.
Just a thought....
Little Dave thats priceless i nearly wet meslf !

Apparently blu tack works just as well. Perhaps you could snaffle some from work or get the kids to steal some from school.

As a school teacher can I discourage this kind of advice. I jealously guard my stock of Blu-Tack and severe punishment is delivered to any small ratbag who tries to steal any.

I really hope you don't teach English.

Another classic post/thread.
Who remembers the one about washing a Porsche (Cayman R, maybe?) with Dove shower gel?
A thread that should be mandatory pre-reading before letting anybody onto this forum

Pleased to see this little thread rear it's ugly head again. I don't need one anymore BTW.
Did Ravi944 becomes RC1, to try and shake off the clay bar shame?
