First bit of claying!

[HailVectron]

Giving it a bit of a quick clean yesterday, and noticed on the white wing mirrors, a load of tiny orange dots! Alarm bells and sirens rung, and my first thought was corroding particles as they didn't move with the RDS and power washer - or even a fingernail. So, I broke out my unused BH Clay, tore off a tiny piece, and with a water spray in hand for lube, set to work. I was amazed at how quickly the clay just pulls up the particles, leaving me with pristine, and unbelievably smooth paint!!

Thankfully the roof seems unaffected in the main, so I'm thinking the mirrors were contaminated on the motorway at speed. However, it looks like I might have to get some fallout removal stuff. I know Korrosol is the goto product for this at the moment - but its so expensive, and I've got my eyes on some Wheel Woolies first... Are there cheaper alternatives?

Cheaper alternatives to what? The fallout remover or the Woolies?

The Korrosol for a litre is probably the cheapest around pound for pound and is extremely effective. A bottle will last a good 4-5 applications on a car and would only need completing probably about every 6 months. So a product that costs about £3 per application every 6 months that willl improve both the aesthetic and protective qualities of the finish.

Cheapest I have found is here:

If you meant a cheaper alternative to the Woolies, of course there are but none that will last as long or be as safe and effective in cleaning the insides of your alloys.

Woolies here are cheapest around with free delivery

In my opinion, both products are an excellent, essential part of any owners kit who like to easily keep their car looking good for longer.
