Saw loads of people some even with chairs sat outside carphone warehouse lol

Autosol or Autoglym Metal Polish and some fine wire wool to sort out the worst of it, then refine the finish with some Meguiars Metal Polish or Autoglym Super Resin. If you are a really sad case get the silver paint out on the back box- pm Rusty Paul for more advice on that one pmsl !

There is no buffing off as such with clay. There may be more steps to the Machine Polish stage depending on how bad the swirls are, if for instance you end up using Menzerna Intensive Polish on a cutting pad, you will probably need to refine the finish with Menzerna Final Finish and a polishing...

Glad you got it sorted.

Not sure if GSF know them HC's - my local GSF just have two types the normal Brembos which I understand people call HC's and the Max.

Looks pretty factory :)

I do worry about dropping it - but when in the bath is the only time I find to call people !

Sounds good, no more getting out the bath to skip tracks !

You can always up the pressures or get the bugger on axle stands of your really worried.

Flat spotting the tyres would be my biggest concern.

Please share the wealth Thomas.

That is my choice or step up to the Menzerna Polishing pad if you need a touch more bite.

Is it Alan or Ali ? ;)

Renault say this is normal - The outer lenses are not weather sealed so you will get moisture build up, should just dry out itself in the sun or when you use the lights.

Still will get damaged if you get it too wet! I left my snap on seat covers on the front and covered the back seats just incase when I did it in mine.

10-15 mins should be fine to get oil temp. Renault really should have fitted a oil temp gauge they are damn handy.

Next you lot will be admitting to taking days off work to get them !

I will let you lot that really really really want them to get in there first !

I have my original one, I was going to try and get one on release but I will just wait until the rush passes.

Halfords sell some kits to clean it. Bacteria, lovely and healthy ;)

Should be F47 taken from the line TEF47

Zymol don't actually make any proper polishes as far as I know.

Working by hand as long as your not trying to correct any real defects stick to the SRP.

I did'nt I used a PDR guy what knows what he is doing . I doubt I could have bought any kit as cheap as he does it for.

Yeap - hence why I posted about it !

You may laugh at the bicfrazor, but my 60K GTi seats which where bobbled to hell now look brand new after nothing but a packet of bic razors, damp microfiber cloth and a Hoover.

If you do get a rotary ignore the Megs pads are crap as they are one of the best pads out there to use on it. That pic of the damage is beyond fixing with polish alone.

As Matt has said I think you may be onto a loser. If it was single stage paint you could have fixed it, as it is lacquered no amount of polishing is going to fix it - repaint time !

I used to apply multiple layers of #16 as I understood it was cleaner free, not seen it remove tar for me, but will have a go at the weekend.

Chuck some Autoglym Extra Gloss on it and you will get a good few months protection, a wax ontop of that may add a little in the looks department.
