    Also use R222, and have found it to be excellent.
    After claying, I also use P21S, which is a paint cleanser(made by same people as the R222) before applying the R222.

    That's really interesting. I'd never actually heard of detailing clay!

    Time to give it a try I think!

    Thanks.
