Personally never had a problem with applying BSD, it's a spray wax reallyIf you ever have a bottle of Sonar BSD and Chemical Guys hybrid V07 detailer try mixing them 50:50 in a empty spray bottle. It works really really good, makes the BSD easier to apply and less smeary/thick.
Little tip I picked up on from detailing world, reminds me I need to buy more of the stuff.
Once it has been applied properly (after fully decontaminating and machine polishing the paintwork) it no longer needs claying. You get a bag full of Autoglym products included which need to be used to maintain the Lifeshine treatment. This keeps the Lifetime guarantee valid. Only time will tell if it lives up to it's name. I think Lifeshine can get a bad rep as dealers put it on in a very none professional manner and it doesn't last. Hopefully having it done professionally will prove worth it in the long run.

Have to say I'm very impressed with the finish. It was starting to get dark when I got home from work, so I can't wait to see it in the sunshine.
Thanks dude will check it out
Cool, actually I have recently changed to bilt hamber auto wash who usually have neutral products. I may have used it on my previous car and don't recall any water spots.
If it's very hard water you have to be very quick, especially if it's sunny. Quick detailer will sort them out, but it is another stage. Kindai bought a water machine thing which got rid of hard water which meant he didn't even need to dry the car!
It wasn't sunny where i was washing but warmish.
Did you clean the car again after claying? It can leave residue, perhaps this is what you're getting?It wasn't sunny where i was washing but warmish.
I apply detailer at the end anyway so no extra stage
Also I used a bilt hamber clay bar, which picked up contaminants the meguiar one I used two weeks ago clearly hadn't.
Along with a gtechniq mf4 drying towel, it's a good size and weight although probably require two for the whole car. I might try a thicker one I'm figure.
Finished off with gtechniq C5 wheel sealant, will be interesting to see how that holds up.
No I didn't (you got me), but I only clayed the lower sills etc so that doesn't explain the water spots on the roof
