Unfortunately I live in an area where pollution is a bit of a problem. The power station doesn't help very much and I don't have any garage where i can place the car. the spray is very prone to industrial fallout. any ideas of some products that might lower the harm done to the vehicle ?

why 'in summer'... so that it doesn't rain while you're in the middle of the process or does the paintwork have to get some dry weather before claying... =S ?

Don't want to sound like I'm stating the obvious here but remember that clay will remove any wax protection you have on the car as well as the pollution. Once you've clayed the car you need to apply a good polish and/or a coat or two of wax or sealant. This will help protect the paintwork against the pollution in future
