You sure the 56 plate isn't Racing Blue? Mine is the Black F1 - I've seen you about a couple of times.

Bring it to me and I'll work the magic - you're not far ;) Yes, Lime Prime is the pre wax cleaner which is about £13, then just buy some decent wax, doesn't have to be Dodo (and probably best not to for Winter). As Mike says, Onyx is a good choice at £45.

As above, but defo use an oily pre wax cleaner - Cleaner Fluid from Swissvax is another good choice.

Sound, sounds like we both need some H1's :) I'll drop you a PM

Do you have any H1's left Kev?

Yeah, gives a great wet look too. I'd look at getting Lime Prime and Rain Forest Rub - will give superb results on darker colours, and v wet looking: Few pics for you: - Polished with Menz 203S, then Zymol Vintage Dodo Lime Prime then Supernatural: Britemax 4/5/6 Lime Prime and...

Kev's are fine I'd imagine, if they are the ones from the Group Buy on 197.net You need H1's though I believe, not H7's. I need to buy some for mine still - I have already changed the headlights ready for them to go in.

CLIO Mk4 09/2005> Headlight FBL Bending Light H7+H7+H1

No, get the £125 ones, as the ballasts will come with the HID Kit - the ballast on those only works with the Renault Xenons, which are another £400 for the bulbs

The hazing on the roof will be from the sealant I'd imagine when it was applied, waiting for it to cure...

As Kev says, 6K is what you want :)

Okay, generally speaking then your best bet will not be a sealant (which EGP is, as it offers more reflective/glassy look). So you need to look at a glaze or oily pre wax cleaner, then a decent wax. What's your budget?

You're too kind - sorry again about today, it was out of my control I'm afraid :( Did you put the SRP on with a DA?

It is required to pass an MOT I believe, which you won't have... so it depends how old your car is I guess... The lights from Renault are expensive, look here: http://www.allpartssouthwest.com/acatalog/Special_Offers__CLIO_Mk4_09_2005__664.html

Looks spot on mate - not sure you need my services at all!

The law is very grey - I believe it states that you only need washers if buying from new (so the manufacturers have to supply them). The main requirement is a projector lamp type headlight allowing the beam to be projected/focused appropriately. You can buy the cornering/projector lamp...

As above really - I'd get two layers of wax down purely to ensure even coverage, then just maintain with a QD/Spray Wax/Sealant until Feb/Mar time when it will need claying/cleansing again

You should be looking at £100ish for a part time enthusiast/pro, depending on products used.

I was supposed to do a Clio V6 today, but had to cancel due to personal problems. Gutted, I was really looking forward to it :(

What condition is the paint in? I sound like a stuck record, but 95% of the finish is in the prep. Does it need machine polishing? Has it ever been clayed? £12 Megs #16 will be as good as most on a well prep'd car. Wax won't add much bling if your paint underneath needs some attention.

Erm, UDS is an AIO, so will remove the SRP - I don't see the point in using both?

Any oil based prep product, rather than acrylic, as a base for a sealant may lessen durability, but the effect differs depending on the sealant. I did a 50/50 on a friends bonnet with Zymol HD Cleanse and SRP, both topped with Zaino Z2, and the durability from the SRP was noticeably better...

I think it's about £170 from everywhere unless you can pick up a used one...

You should try owning a black 197 - the diffuser kicks up a crazy amount of crap

1000P isn't as durable as a lot of people make out though - mixed results over the past year or so, but it is better than most waxes out there (because it's a sealant ;)) I'd say the Colli is more durable, offering you a realistic 4-5 months. 1000P seems to be 3-4 depending on application...

Don't be silly mate, it's not rocket science, just needs patience and some knowledge/experience. I remember reading your R32's details - awesome work.

You should do very well - lot of money and nice cars in Aberdeen. Good luck with it Ali :)

Glad you liked it Alex - it's great when used properly as you have there. My only issue is that the car never feels truly clean (arches etc), but it does a grand job of quick spruce ups etc

Born Slippy isn't that much more pricey - the £13 500ml concentrate makes 5.5L of lube, where as Last Touch makes 7.6L for £19...

Megs Endurance is VERY tyre dependent - which tyres do you have? I'm currently testing Tropicare Black Pearl which I4D will be stocking soon - it's awesome so far
