I currently use a clay blok
But I'm hoping over to the diy detail method
Clay towel + iron remover

Will do if we get an overcast day next week I will try them both out
I'm planning to use this method from 24 minute mark in this video where I dont empty the whole bottle on the car but do a squirt on the towel and one on the panel...
first time I've watched this one
i didn't realise you could do rinseless wash then ceramic gloss with clay towel

Used the G3 mitt tonight for the first time! Massive improvement, you can hear it going from rough to gliding over it after a few passes. Didn't take long at all. Never used traditional clay so can't compare, but only downside to the mitt is that it's pretty firm, so getting in to smaller gaps/details isn't as easy.
Buffed off as I went then used ceramic spray afterwards. Hadn't used that before either.

The residue dries quick and took a bit to get off, maybe I'll spray that again then wipe next time. Did a panel at a time
Which ceramic spray did you use?

Sorry that was on reference to the detailer used with the Clay mitt.
The ceramic spray was fine, that was just the Autoglym rapid stuff
and ...
YAY

Well using the clay mitt was a waste of time this week! Had no choice but to park under a tree last night and now the car is coated in I assume sap! 
Gave my Partners Car a Quick Wash!
Pre Washed with 50ML of Autobrite Citrus Pre Wash + 100ML of Advanced Foam.
Wheels Turtle Wax Redline
Shampoo was Autofinesse Lather
Dried with a sprits of Carplan Supergloss (Hidden Gem IMO - Paintwork Feels like Glass and Beads incredibly)
Then used Turtle Wax Tyre and Trim (Cheap Aldi Special Buy)
Came up really well IMO - It hadn’t been cleaned in over 6 months i believe.
Also - Turtle Wax Redline is genuinely a great product for the money, I paid £20 for 5 Litres.
Now there are more potent Fall Out Removers but being a dedicated Wheel Cleaner with some Fall Out Chemical it works really well and being only £4 Per Litre is an absolute steal in my eyes.

But you put a coating on afterwards so it'll be fine, a quick rinseless and be gleaming againWell using the clay mitt was a waste of time this week! Had no choice but to park under a tree last night and now the car is coated in I assume sap!

Morning all!
I’m about to run out of bolt hamber wheel cleaner, only issue I’m finding is the supplied bottle is more of a jet and not spray, if that make sense? Do people put this product in a different “hand pump” style bottle to apply?
Thanks

Well I finally got round to getting my act together and get geared up for my 1st ever 'detail'.
Got a P-15 DA from Infinity wax https://www.infinitywax.com/products/infinity-wax-p-15-professional-dual-action-polisher and just waiting on my pads being delivered and the Svizzer MC 300 to be collected.
I used my G3 clay mitt for the 1st time today and dunno if it`s a placebo effect, but already the car looks to have popped a bit of colour. I could feel quite easily where the contamination was. I used up what was left of my old foam to spray, dwell, rinse, spray then clay mitt. Rinse then dry off with my m/f towels. Next time I foam will be with the B H Touch Less. And what a difference it makes having a proper cannon instead of a cheapo. MJJC Pro V2 is just so much better.
That`s part one done and happy so far. I`d have taken some pics but it`s already tucked away in the garage, away from the birds

Mjcc ones are good
I assume you meant cheapo because its not the v.3?

No, I got a 15 quidder from Amazon at first and was not much good.
I've got the Amazon own one, it's ok, not the best
