Yeah, don’t think I paid much more than a tenner. Still going strong 3 years later.

What did you lubricate the clay with?

Lubricant included with the Clay Bar. It was a Rain-X deep cleaner that I got from Halfords. Didn't apply Rain-X afterwards.

A lot of places put silicone dressing on the wiper blades now, makes a right mess.

Yup, that won't help either. Clay the wiper blades too.

I still say white vinegar and when done a bucket of water over the screen then use the wipers, just to rule out the screen wash.

I knew i shouldn't of got involved in this thread, this morning it was fresh out side so needed to use the wipers yep couldn't see anything smearing like crazy.

Same here. Neither did Autoglym Fast glass, glass polish, window cleaner.

First of all you need to get rid of what ever is on the windscreen before Fast Glass will work. Polish will never work to get off something nasty on the windscreen.
