Our car was shared between two people so was out twice as long as other cars and they were fine.

We put a set of £22 halfords pads in at a track day after our DS2500's crumbled after 1 lap! They lasted all day, no fade etc! For the money they were sublime!

Exactly. I'm not doing it to sell it to someone after a bargain. I'm doing it to sell to someone who wants the best car that needs nothing. Budgies ph1, DTM cars' Trophy and Steve rsport are proof that people are willing to pay top dollar for immaculate cars.

Yeah but only for cleaning stuff. Their finishing products aren't up to much really. Lemon dash protector (in a liquid form) is good stuff. The aerosol stuff however is the work of the devil. Attracts dust like there's no tomorrow!

Are your headlight washers leaking? Mine were leaking a tiny bit and water was collecting then coming out. Looked a lot worse than it was.

You can just wash it then hydro2 it, but I find SRP first leaves an even slicker finish and it lasts ages. Much more than the 3 months they claim!

It's very good if used properly. But 99 times out of 100 the paint doesn't need such a heavy compound and you create more damage than you fix. People in body shops use it because it's such a heavy cut.

Personally I wash, decontaminate (tar and iron) then polish with SRP. Then cover it in Hydro2. Makes the car very easy to clean and is not too over the top. Of course if the car is swirled and hologram'd thanks to bad machine polishing, you'll effectively be sealing in the damage.

What concerns me more is 'the dealership machine polished it' If they're anything like the dealers round here, that means they paid someone £30 to mop it with some G3.

Who knows. I'm going through cars like water at the minute.

Looks like vinyl. If it is, just some all purpose cleaner, a scrubbing brush and a pressure washer will have it looking like new. If it's mohair, you're in for a world of pain!!

Headlights done. Come up lovely.

Lol!! You prick! My heart sank then!

Don't do it.

The easiest way of doing it is to take it to a Renault dealer/Specialist local to you and ask them to do it via the ECU. They can use Clip to disable whichever airbag it is you've removed. So all the lights come on and go out properly and there's no messing about with miniscule resistors. My...

What works for some doesn't work for others mate. Trial and error! For example, JD on here is f**king useless with Hydro2 but can clean a car like no other. I however am terrible with traditional sealants and end up making the car look worse than before I started so I use Hydro2 as I find it...

Lol, don't be honoured, i've just got nothing else to do at this time of night! lol You can go as far as you want. I've seen awesome results on a mates battered polo with just a wash and then black hole, i've seen big bucks show cars having the works, including the use of black hole. If I...

Sorry, but is that one person that owns two of them?? TWO??

I wouldn't bother trying to 'remove' swirls by hand. It's like pissing in the wind. If I was you, buy some Poorboys black hole. It's quick and easy, hides LOTS of swirls and gives the car a very deep gloss. For time vs money, it's a very very good product.

What makes you say that?

I have mate but it's chaos here. I'm trying to find a job, Jo just had the baby and we're moving house at the end of this month! I really wouldn't worry about it mate! lol

Yeah I recon at best (my mate will be doing it but he doesn't do mates rates...) it will cost me £800 and that's with me stripping the car and putting it back together!

Yeah I bought one a while ago. 6 months?? Spinksy It's having a big resto on it. Last weekend we did belts and dephaser. New TRE's, ball joints, 4 new tyres, discs and pads etc etc. Getting painted all over apart from the roof, fit these Recaro seats, New Cup shocks, 182 Cup springs and a...

The other Monaco is getting completely painted, all bar the roof. Not looking forward to the bill!! Lol Worth it though. Can't beat fresh paint.

I'm guessing they came from Capital seating as the handle to slide back and forward is different to Trophy seats, the harness holes are missing and I have numerous books and manuals for them. None of them Renault Specific.

Remember what we spoke about Alex? You may get to drive a brand new car every 3 months, but I don't have to deal with the public anymore... ;)

No offence, but I can't see any difference between that and my 70 year old neighbours 1.5 dci that he just bought?? Black wing mirrors maybe?

The previous owner kept it really clean. Tonight I just washed it blew it dry and slicked the tyres. All the polish/wax etc is his doing! lol The Recaro's are coming out and going in my 49,000 mile monaco that i'm restoring. Yes mate, was for sale on here. Only 12 miles away too which was a...

Picked this up today. Feels great to be back in a car that can fit into spaces (unlike the merc!) and actually goes when you put your foot on the accelerator (unlike my 1.2 clio!) Got a list of jobs to do on it, the first one being that there are no rear brakes! Drove it 20 odd miles today and...

Your wife has a lot to answer for with you and your car shenanigans...
