I know its not a real F1, But vinyls were on car when bought from Renault, and the door one is missing as it needed repaired, cant justify the expense of a new vinyl, so will be taking the other door one off to, and just leaving the front & Rear as i like them.

Right to start with i know its not an R27 - and i don't pretend it is, it has come from Renault with the F1 Stickers already on (Previous Renault Car)

Just had a read over, i think i will prob go for the Red Mousse, The last thing i'll be needing is a wax, i know you get what you pay for but will prob end up with some PB Nattys Paste Wax? Whats your thoughts on the PB stuff?
I read your mind Sir :) got pads you recommend in the basket lol, i've seen that Red Mousse Glaze mentioned a few times, more research first i think lol
Yeah thats what i'd like, Been looking at getting some Menzerna Super Finish (PO 106 FA) - Still looking at the numerous Glazes etc, What would be Best for UR Paint?
TBH i just want to take most of the swirls etc out the paint, i would love to try my hand at wet sanding the thing, but i think before i even attempt that, i will go through a good few scrap panels!
