I tried the Tripple today on my car, just as you see on tests in detailing world, I taped off the wing in two parts & I was amazed how you could see the difference between the polished side & the unpolished (photo came out crap though!) Anyway, I can't wait for my daughter to come home so we can...

OK that's great, thanks a lot

Thanks for the quick reply, Yellow Dave, Toughcoat is also Auto Finesse, is that right? If so it makes sense. What is Werkstatt? I thought it was something to do with the bauhaus!

Having read through this again and a load of other detailing threads, I have got some AF Tripple to do my daughters Clio when she's back from uni at Christmas. I have a question though. I understand that the Tripple has a wax/sealant in it, but should I use a sealant over the top? I have AG...

I fitted Connects2 ipod adapter with standard HU in my daughters Clio Ph2, it works well and has volume and track on or back from steering wheel. I had Xcarlink in my Volvo V70 T5 and that was also good, you could select playlists as well as track on and back.

Have a check on your insurance. I noticed that at last renewal with Hastings direct, I get free vandalism repair & it doesn't count as a claim, don't pay excess or lose NCB. Just have to provide police crime reference number. By the way really sorry for you a real shame for that to happen to a...

They look great have a look at this thread from Rob_SRI http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?561737-Stealthy-182-Progress-Thread I love that!

Find someone with a Vax machine. I spilt a new 5 ltr can of floor varnish in the back of my volvo V70. All thick light brown carpets and I got it out the next day. Also in the past I got oil based paint out of a stair carpet , that was a new 1 ltr can of white!

I take it that using the drill/driver isn't a good idea! Thanks so much for the offer John182rs, I really do appreciate it, but most likely not viable. I am in Bexhill on Sea (between Hastings & Eastbourne on the Sussex coast) and my daughter with the black 1.2 16v is at uni in Norwich at the...

From reading the replies, it seems most people reckon that a machine polish is what is needed. Now bear in mind that until recently I used a yellow sponge, washing up liquid & a chamois, I just wondered if I could use my DeWalt drill/driver with a polishing pad? I have seen Gally recommend a...

Fixed now. It was the temperature sender!

I'll tell her to get a 1*2 then!

OK may have to try that combination, thanks!

I don't have a machine polisher, which doesn't help! I've heard the blackhole is good, can you buy it in Halfrauds etc? Cliotoby, I haven't had a black car for years myself (1275GT in 1980 & two XR3is between 1986 & 1996) but just bought one so will have that to do as well Ha!

Cleaned my daughters 1.2 16v pearl black in the following way. Wash, clay bar, wash, Autoglym paint renovator, Autoglym Super Resin Polish, Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection. It's lovely and shiny, but somehow not as black as we hoped. We saw plenty of Clios at FCS that looked SO much more black...

Hi My wifes Mk1 has been hard to start for a few days, then today when we got it going, it revs at 3000rpm. Went to my local garage, who thought it was the idle speed control motor (stepper motor) so have changed that and it's the same. Any ideas? Help much apreciated

Looks really good, but you need a new number plate, that one is illegible

I changed washers on both my daughters Clios, (Mk2 Ph1 & Mk2 Ph2) with washers from Citroen C4 part number c6438ca, they work really well much better than standard. I told the Citroen dealer I was member of C4owners.org, he had never heard of it, but gave me 10% off anyway, so worth a try!

Looks very nice, I like grey Clios. Nice Excel also! What colour have you done the wheels as I was thinking of doing that sort of colour on my daughters 1.2 Dynamique?

looks like an old version of this to me!

I have had lots of cars without ABS and as someone else said, I didn't die once! It can be slower to stop in some circumstances. Its not meant to be a sustitute for driving! Learn to cadence brake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_braking

Hi looking at your thread & liking it. My 1st car was an Orange 1973 Mini 1000 (back in 1978) I had the head flowed & it made a huge difference. The centre speedo would go right round past the ignition light! My 2nd, 3rd & 4th cars were two 1275GTs & a Clubman Estate! Hope you continue to enjoy...

As Benevs says, use silicon. I've done two now, one 3 years ago & one a year ago, both still ok

Like new (only better!)

The starter could be stuck on the flywheel ringear. With ignition off, put it in 4th & push it back & forwards a bit. If that's the problem you should hear the starter click off from the gear. Hope that helps

That looks lovely! What did you use for the wheels? My daughter has a 1.2 Dynamique in black just like yours & I would like to do the wheels for her Just noticed the gear lever as well-great
