Ambient temp, paint, previous prep work, pad and machine will all have an effect. You'll note a good glaze "melting" into the paint work like butter - it's quite a clear change, Clart, so you'll be fine.
If I may, Kev, I'd disagree. It's a hell of a lot easier than polishing, because the...
It should want to do it's own thing, which is arc away from you. It's when it starts to jump that there is an issue, this is called buffer hop and is a sign that either the pad is not flat against a panel and thus is catch an edge, or the pad is too dry. A spritz of pad lube (or just QD will do)...

Perfect example on my "strong" S3; made 225bhp standard on logging g/m2 (none of this rolling road nonsense).
With a stage one map people should see real world figures of 250-255. With the Badger5 TIP mine makes 278.75horses or 223.3g/m2 of air on the MAF.
Major...
Out of interest, do you know LBrench? You appear to have the same financial sense. Perhaps you could sell your coilovers to fund your MOT and then buy a new car to put new coilovers on the Clio so it passes next years MOT?
Anyway. Enough busting your balls over your lack of sense. Finish the...
Re: New prodject BAM Content
Nice work. Coilies over B8s and H&Rs though... coming from a Clio, I'd never go back to coilovers unless building a track car.
Silvers and whites I prefer sealants over waxes. So I'd go with something like Werkstatt Acryllic Jett. A few layers, decent protection and longevity.

Trying to be helpful here, what disappears? Beading? Looks? Sheeting? What?
FK1000p should last 3-6 months on wheels (which get hot under braking), let alone bodywork.
You're using the wrong wax, applying it incorrectly and most likely wasting a lot of product/time. Wax should last months, not weeks. Even if applied incorrectly three weeks would be disastrous!
To the OP - wash wtih a pH neutral shampoo like Dodo Juice Born to be Mild, Megs Hyper Wash...
I agree with your 3rd or 4th post in the DW thread (nice to see you can use DW again, when did that happen?). I'd compare it to my champagne (the only thing I collect and similar prices to Desire, so an apt comparison in my eyes); I wouldn't have paid, or continue to pay, the premiums for...
Yes. It simply eats through the lacquer (if used too often) and even used once will find inconsistencies in the lacquer and expose them (read will peel and flake in certain areas).
Hmmm, thought it might be. They (the lower models at least) have plastic impellers, so break easily. I'd go for a Nilfisk personally, as they have metal impellers...
