Carpro Dlux lasts for ages, a little bit goes a long way. I had high hopes for the Infinity wax plastic coat when it was released as I like their products, but was really disappointed how long it lasted. Autoglym trim gel is poor as well in my opinion.
If you're going to take it elsewhere. You've got Diamond motors in Long Eaton, near Nottingham or Birchdown in Malpas, Cheshire.

You can get a new key fob with blank blade from Amazon for £12. You just need to find somewhere that can code it and cut the blade. I've never bought one so can't vouch for the quality. But for 12 quid it's got to worth a punt if you need one...
My 182 has had £4.7k spent just on the bodywork alone in the last 2 years 😮 plus another £400 on the wheels being refurbed, so a grand total of £5.2k. Plus servicing, tyres etc... It soon adds up lol.
£3k was through the insurance for a low impact no fault claim. New bonnet, front bumper...
I've tried Infinity wax plastic coat and wasn't that impressed to be honest.
Carpro Dlux wipes the floor with it for restoring the colour and longevity.
Like @Crayola said. Make sure the lug on the back of the pad lines up with the groove in the piston. Your pad looks a bit low down so the bar will never go in. Also file off any s**t or rust on the pad carrier that the bar slides on.
Plus the bar that slides under the pad looks a bit battered...
I used to run Rainsport 2s and 3s on my 182. They were a very good tyre as the name suggests in the wet. But I would only ever get about 5k miles out of 2 tyres.
I've been running Avon ZV7s for a few years now and I can easily get 10k miles out of a set of 2 now. I've found them good in the wet...
I'll be honest with you. I've never even heard of a P606 tyre 🤔 but looking on Google, it's a proper Billy budget tyre with very poor reviews. I'm assuming it's for a 182? Can I ask why you're looking at such a poor performing tyre?
Watching with interest. Never heard of three A tyres. I've just looked on their website. It's not very easy to navigate or find a specific tyre?
I've always used Camskil. There are a plethora of tyres in 205 x 45 x 16 to suit all budgets and requirements.
Is it glass though? Wing mirrors are usually plastic mirrors.
@Hollidog . Can you not just pop the mirror glass / plastic out of the actual wing mirror fitting. It'll be easier to polish once it's out of the wing mirror fitting itself.
