MF pads give a DA more cut, so is more akin to correcting with a rotary, but with the ease of use of a DA. For Audi paint, they're useful. For Clios, I'd stick with the Hex pads personally.
Definitely apply tripple by finishing pad or hand. Are you correcting or masking?
A shame such silly paint doesn't allow you to use better products. All this Renault and BMW BS paint... waste of time for average looks (all IMO of course).
Cracking Ant. Really was. Friday was spent dicking about in the cars on the way up, then 80s LM cars zipping round until 7pm, while getting some sun, boozing and BBQing. Saturday we walked round more as it was packed with metal and women, Aston parade lap in the DB7 Vantage Volante, more racing...
C2V3 is a cinch to apply. Beads well (so easier to wash down the bike after a ride) and longevity is meant to be 8 months. However, even if it was 3-4 months, it's so simple to apply it is probably your best bet.
Eh?
Jay, yes to your point about in the elements. So protecting the bike before it gets stored is probably not necessary (dependant on how good the storage is). One thing to make sure of is that it is clean and dry, so salts; water; and other contaminants do not affect the metal work and paint...
LIKE!
Gentle fabric cleaner with a soft brush, then wet vac'd. It's not the water that's stained, more the contaminants the water contains (minerals, salts etc), leaving a boundary.
Didn't know anyone from here was going - we were in the BRDC Farm for the weekend as I know a few of the racers. Cracking weekend as per. Fifth year I've been and just gets better and better (except for the 2" of rain in 30 mins on Saturday night). Good thing friends had RVs! Rum and rain!
Mate, as said, confuddled. Piss easy product done in sub-standard conditions (9pm when not rid of water marks, and boy, these things were like calcium mountains due to the shitty water in the South).
It sounds like you've cleared out some previous fillers, but Tripple hasn't re-filled them... utterly confuddled, but either way, it's user error (i.e. your faul, fucktard ;) ).
It's a paint that you live a million miles away as I'd be more than willing to pop over and help. Anyone near to you...
Haha. For some reason, Andy, I kept calling Yellow DAVE Andy wen I met him yesterday ecening. No idea why I'm mixing you two up or have you on my mind lol!
Lols!! Scott I forgot to ask your username, now I know. Pleasure meeting you lads, thanks for the "help" with the decals ;)
Dave, I might actually get your name right next time - apologies again :o Blame Andy aka Coby.
Next job? I've got a load left, so can do it next time. We need to do a Sunday when we're not working until 6 and I don't know where I'm going/get stuck in traffic...
Lawl. Looking forward to a chit chat chap. TBH car needs a rinse over but have asked Ant if we can get the decals on the car for Silverstone. Should be fun!
