Clio looks nicely composed in the corners and is all over the Corsa. Both drivers look commited to the cause.:cool:

You may have to go for something with a bit more cut than AG SRP. Meguiars Scratch X should go some way to removing the wet sanding marks.

Sorry, forgot about the rest of your question. Re-sand with fine grade as above, then polish, then seal and wax. You can apply synthetic sealant after polish, then wax over the sealant. But you shouldn't synthetic seal over a wax.

Depends what grade wet and dry you used. You need to have gone down to 2500 or 3000 grit if you are going to polish out the sanding marks by hand. Orbital polisher will take out 1500 - 2000 grit in one fell swoop with something like Menzerna IP.

By wet sanding the defect, you have removed a very small amount of the clearcoat or lacquer. The frictional nature of the sanding action leaves very fine scratches in the clearcoat which also means light cannot reflect off as it usually does. By using finer grades of wet & dry the scratches...

Yeah Turners were pretty good. Hand made too. He must have made some £ from them on here. I made one for mine when I had the 172. Lasercut from aluminium. ..and a DC5 replica I made for the Type R

The Megs stuff above would probably be ok by hand. I have wet sanded scratches out of one of the black company vans before and yes the paintwork loses all of its gloss. I used Menzerna polish below by hand and it restored the gloss nicely. Even better by machine polisher - I just couldnt be...

Nice mate, I have the Nikon D80 and am so much more impressed with it than I imagined i'd be. :D Thought it would be good, but it really is a quality piece of kit.

And no side effects of clouding or anything?? Cool.:cool:

http://www.warehouseexpress.com/category/categorynav.aspx?cat02=2019 Go for the Hoya filters, or if you have one in town, drop into Jessops for a look at their filters? UV - worth keeping on the lens AT ALL times [for protection] Circular polariser - increasing colour saturation and reducing...

Yes you can certainly wax it afterwards, remembering once waxed, if you want to top up the protection it should be with a wax. AFAIK its good practice NOT to seal over wax, but you CAN wax over sealants.

Also replied:D

Yes mate if possible, though of course you will end up with a faster shutter speed because youre letting more light in. For light trails and stuff f11, f13 is spot on, if there are direct/street lights around the place, opening up the lens gives a picture thats a bit easier on the eye. If you...

Dont bother with a wax Maynard, go for a sealant instead. I can highly recommend Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Jett Trigger on silver cars. Leaves a superb reflective glossy finish and is highly durable. Easy to put 4 or 5 layers on as I have for maximum protection. Plus ease of use means you'll...

d-slr or compact? If D-SLR, using a wider aperture [smaller f number] will reduce the starburst effect that you're getting from your headlights and the street lights in the first pic. PS I like the first pic though.:D

Some kind soul put a 8" scratch down the side of the black works van:dapprove: I decided to get the Vauxhall touch up pen, selection of 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 Megs Unigrit wet/dry papers, some IPA, cocktail sticks and 000 artists brushes. A few hours later and you couldnt even see where it had...

dollar vs pound it seems and also the fact that Nikon have had two across the board increases since 1st Jan this year.:( 15% iirc. Thanks for the info Ben, do you reckon they'll come back down or is it just a matter of if I want one, I'm going to have to pay the latest prices?

I'm looking to buy a Nikon 70-300VR AF Lens to complement my D80:cool: I already have the Nikon 18-55VR and the Sigma 18-200VR. Prices seem to be going a bit mad at the moment, any one have any ideas where I can get a good deal, I know someone was selling one on here a while back, but dont...

I bought a Sigma 18-200 OS lens at the weekend. :cool: Very nice.:approve:

You have peeee-emmmm ;)

Yeah, I almost bought one from Jessops for £400, and ended up choosing the Sigma 18-200 OS for £299, though like I say they didnt have the D80 body on its own, so I bought the kit lens for £50 extra to start off with. Bit steep at mo Clart - thanks for the offer though.:)

Did you not like the 18-200VR Billy?

Must admit, I've had a Dynax 35mm SLR, Fuji Bridge camera, Canon compact and lately a Ricoh R6 compact, and I've got to say the D80 is an absolute cracker in terms of build quality and functions. I know it costs a hell of a lot more than the others, but you get what you pay for. Bought it on...

Been thinking about buying one for a while. Woke up Saturday morning in need of a bit of 'blokes' retail therapy;), so went down to Jessops and bought one of these. Went with an open mind, was originally planning on the new EOS450D, but once I handled this, my mind was made up. In...

:sleepy:

If I were the o.p I'd close this thread.:rolleyes: Can we stop bickering about "I know best" for fcuks sake, and get back to the topic. Talking of back to topic, it must have taken ages to photoshop all the ganstas with guns out of the first two pics.:rasp:

Chris [ukaskew] What kit do you have at moment. I have a Ricoh CaplioR7 and a Fuji S9500, but looking to add a DSLR to it. At moment comtemplating the Canon EOS 450D. Though the Nikon D80 or D60 look pretty good. Am i right in thinking the D40 and D60 rely on a motorized AF lens to do the...

Looks nice that mate:) Paintwork looks nice and glossy in the pics:D edit: Yep, Matt @ i4detailing is a sound bloke. Bought some bits from him a few weeks back. He's top of my list to try for more new stuff now. Yet to put my i4d sticker in the rear window - bubbly gum was nice though.:D

No more than £4k at moment. Honest.:dapprove: Trade in you'll be lucky to see £3.6k Just sold mine recently. Best off selling it as standard and selling maxogen and trophy wheels on here.

Nice. :cool: They look really good mate :D
