I was 'lucky' enough to be a passenger out on track in a car running them - we spent a fair bit of time experiencing chronic understeer before the eventual 'off' at Quarry - I will second the Ditchfinders comment !

... and that does what to the 1C temperatures ?

s**t- When I saw the spray paint in the first pics I thought it was going to be an easy fix.

Hammerite lasts fine on front calipers which must get more hot than rear drums ?

Peugeot 306s only have it on the rear. Peugeot 405s have a spray bars that attach to the wiper blades on the front that you may be able to adapt to fit.

Be prepared for your car to look worse after claying !

Its free but not free then ?!?!

I would have left it dirty !

AG instant show shine scares me as a QD no way it will safely lift light grime ! I would not trust any QD to replace a wash if the car has had any real use.

I think you will struggle to find many insurance companies that won't charge an admin fee to update details.

Most good QD's will actually boost LSP's none should strip them. I have a new favourite one after trying some the other week. Finish Kare 425 Ultra Slick Poly Wipe Detailer - Anti Static My other favourites are: Sonus Carnuba Spritz Clearkote Quickshine Britemax #6S

Halfords :)

My original one is five years old and still going strong, never bothered with anything case wise apart from those socks.

Step up to a light cut pad mate and it will clean even better :)

Nice one, I am trying to save hard over the winter to upgrade my 350D for next season.

I use Menzerna all year round, can be a pain to use when cold as the work times can be long but unless under lots of time pressure I would still choose it over the others. Worth getting some Final Finish then - IMO it is still the nicest finishing polish I have tried so far.

SFX 1 should have more cut than SFX 2 - The SFX 1 should remove the Swirls. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/sonus-sfx-1-restore-polish/prod_43.html The SFX 2 will be finer still and refine any micro marring left by the SFX 1, increase the gloss and then the SFX 3 refine it...

No need to clay, just wash and carry on where you got to. SFX 2 will remove the EGP you applied.

P21s would have probably limited it bonding as well as it could direct to the sealant. If you have not washed it won't bead as soon as you get a thin layer of grime on the car. Wash and re-evaluate. See if the paint feels slick or squeaky.

There is no need to follow up the machine polishing with a hand polish, a polish with some decent products such as Menzerna Intensive Polish refined with Menzerna Final Finish will leave perfect paint. Autoglym Sealant will not bond to wax. You should follow up the paint correction with a coat...

For me you risk inducing too much damage shearing it off when you can dissolve it safely.

Agreed - Yeap all making bullshit in the colour changed talk! Personally I would not buy any of them - Get a pot of Victoria Concours, much better wax in that price range.

Afraid to say that won't polish out, a polish will do little or nothing to improve it- will need paint in it first, weather as a local type repair and wetsanded to make it look better - or painting properly.

150 odd quid new - I sold one new boxed for 80 or 90 last summer

Keep the clay in a cup of warm water on cold days.

Personally I use tar remover to remove tar. Too much should not be a problem I use shed loads - Needs to be warm and sticky to be effective so I would say it was the temps.

Tis near the railway station. Got all the Brembo Discs for the GTi from there, stuck them on with some Textar rear pads from there too and DS2500 front pads - well worth the money.

Mauritius Blue for me - I thought it was China till I got it home ! Yeap - I have not had a car that dirty for about 10 years ....

Spank me ? It's a done deal 2 inch for sure then. You make me sooooo dirty ! x

I am buying Alan's R27 in Jan for 25 pence and a kiss ;)
