looks good mate, you shouldnt need to clay it again for a long time now though as long as you get a few coats of a good wax on there

Halfords, think it was £23, and for that i got a micro fibre cloth, small bottle of wax, 2 clay bars, and quick detailer stuff. Worth it though imo.

oh yeah, and that wax you get with the clay kit is a bit shite from what i have found, use it on your wheels, but i would recommend something better for the panels,

Dodo Juice or Colinites or something,

But enough respect to you for getting it looking that good so far

super resin is really really good and i use it myself, but you really need to put a good wax over the top of it otherwise it doenst last very long, plus putting a wax on top of the super resin makes it even shinyer
