I quite like the autoglym interior stuff, smells nice and doesn't leave any marks. Couple of sprays on a microfiber and wipe it around.

Have a read of this https://www.cliosport.net/threads/machine-polishing-by-da-polisher-by-dave-kg.622080/

Just a pack of Amazon wet sanding discs with velcro on, did it by hand though. Then ultimate compound on the 3m headlight polishing disc as a white hex logic didn't touch it (with da).

Went through the whole process again and polished. Still swirly and polishing isn't getting it all out so might need to revisit. Miles better though!

Headlights... worked my way up the grades - 500, 1000, 2000, 3000. Can't decide if they're ready to polish or if they need more sanding as there are some patchy bits still.

Why wash off SRP? Surely you want it's filling capabilities on the car.

Definitely not! What purpose do you need it for? Different ones for drying, buffing, wiping, glass... The Rag Company and Klin Korea are both popular in the towel world for example

Get the "extreme" versions of them. I always use the lightening linen one as it just smells clean

The end result on this m3 is insane. Skip to 6.18 for final product.

@gally @JamesBryan Keep polishing it or just live with it?

Polishing... Doing the drivers door today and found the rear half of the door comes out nice and clear, the front half is still a tad hazy. I've used yellow hex with ultimate compound, 6 - 8 passes. Then Menzerna sf3500 on a green hex pad for another 6-8 passes. I am pretty sure the cars had...

I'm using menzerna power lock at the moment, stupidly easy to use and wax can be put on top which means it'll last even longer.

There is a specialist in Aylesbury, which might be closer. Less well known though. http://www.bucksautomotive.co.uk

Tried out solution finish on the rear wiper today. Looks good for now, let's see how long it lasts. After and before below.

Sounds like @Davyy Edit: he beat me to it!

I've used the farecla g3 mitt for a while and gets really good reviews everywhere. Bonus is you can pick it up in Halfords

Looked good! Plate was W21 JLA and has the cs.net rear window sticker. Anyone?

What's the smallest that would work on a da? I thought the oscillating would mean a 1 or 2 inch pad would be pointless. I think taping might be quickest at this stage, didn't even think of it tbh. Cheers!

Anyone got any tips for polishing the really thin bits of roof? Smallest pads I have currently are 4" and I'm not planning on buying a I-brid just to do those bits. Gradually working my way down the car at the moment.

Is that one half of the 'britemax twins'? I do have some Meguiars metal polish actually, just wasn't sure if it'd seal it.

How can I keep the exhaust shiny? Just wiped over the back box with a hot soapy microfiber and was surprised to see it come up so well. But how can I keep it that way? I am half assuming it's impossible though

Just got exactly the same for my birthday today, can't wait to try it out now. Have you got impact sockets or are you using regular ones?

This guy did.. [emoji23]

Not sure. I think there's a detailing world code for cleanyourride, try dw05, or dw07.

I've just got a new big red Klin towel from Andy at clean your ride http://www.cleanyourride.uk/KLINKOREA/klin-korea-large-duo-red It's absolutely huge.

It really does. Batteries are expensive so the idea you can use one battery across the range makes it great. Nearly got their impact wrench on black Friday as it was ~£100 for it + a battery.

Saw this old Opel driving round earlier, looked pretty cool and turned a few heads to be fair.

Thanks for the replies. I was really just looking to use up my voucher but if the consensus is that it isn't worth having that cheap corded one, then I won't. I'd probably use it a couple of times per month so I don't really need £250+ either. I'll look forward to getting one of those big beasts...

I just edited my post above to include a link for you mate

You can get them on eBay too https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renaultsport-Clio-172-182-Bumper-Inserts-OEM-Sticker-Graphics-Car-Renault-N2200/401453891948?epid=518382333&hash=item5d7884416c:g:aiUAAOSwnFZXUGDM
