For bad scratches I have used Megs 105 and 205 with a DA. They got this scuff out my rear bumper after some prat hit me and drove off!
Before
After
You can use it by hand as well and its just as effective, just might take a few more goings over than it did with the DA.
I also used...
The 106 maxi kit is still in demand! There are a couple of chaos over on the rallye register who have had the kits imported spot fit to their rally cars. Serious Motorsport stuff, not road going cars. They look mint.
Cheers mate! :) iv got a new exhaust hanger to sort the exhaust out and clean the back end up and a splitter to fit at the weekend! :) get the tyres sorted in 2 weeks and then ordering the belts to get fitted in the next 5k miles. Love this car!!
Pipercross panel filter or ITG panel filter. Get them off eBay or I think car parts 4 less have a K&N one in their performance parts section. Open filters are a waste of time IMO but some people love them for their noise!! Panel filters are a food compromise!

You can keep your wheels!! If you need to sell them get down mcdonalds and see if any of the car park crowd fancy a set of epic pimp "OZ" wheels! ;) I might save fitting the spill utter until I come back to yours, I understand you have skills at fitting them! Haha.
Beading picture update! :)
Had a little shower after work so thought I would snap a couple of the slight beading that happened. Not the best shots from my iPhone but you get an idea of how the wax performed.
going to stick another coat of this wax on at the weekend and try to build it...
Cheers for the comments guys. I will take your notes on JD and look for a good tar remover for the future. I will be going to ASDA towards the end of this week so hopefully that offer still stands as I will pick up another couple of bottles of RDS! Not got too much left after going over my mates...
Would love a carbon splitter but the price is ludicrous!! Almost all carbon stuff is stupid money for something that is simply form over function! haha. Looks lovely though!

So after last week where some plank hit my rear bumper and scuffed it I decided to give the car a going over with the DA. I initially planned to just do the scuff and then re wax it to seal everything but the car was looking dirty and since the DAS-6 was at hand...the full car got a going over...
I second these. DoDo Juice wax is a good beading wax. I've used orange crush, and purple haze with good results on a number of cars. Super natural has the best staying power per coat I find, but 3/4 coats of orange crush or purple haze tends to last around 4-5 months before needing another top...
Are the prices always that low or should I look at ordering ASAP because there is a sale! Some of these tyres are proper cheap and loads better than what I was looking at in my budget!

Iv just seen your "when one clio isn't enough" thread! The exhaust cut on yours is properly small! Can you not do the hanger modification and lift it further up, and then cut the bumper to fit the OEM surround to give it a better fit?
And the pun was 100% intended! ;)
Jack
I wouldn't run one without the 182 surround. The surround makes it look OEM and factory finished. :) I would be happier with a smaller tip, say 3" because the 3.5" is a bit on the chav side but not enough for me to spend another £500 on another system!! Haha.

;) Xenon's are bob on buddy, so Dip beam is fine, just the bloody full beam on the near side has just blown on me.
Guess I will just whip the bulb out and pop to the nearest motor-factors to buy a pair that fit then. I want to avoid getting crappy miss colored ones that make my car look...
^^ because cup!
I went base model 172... Cleanest my budget could get me! I do wish I had got one with the cup style pack, that splitter and spoiler! <3
As said above, just go with the nicest one your budget can afford. I ended up with an early Ph2 172 and it drives nicer than some of the 182s I had driven. :) Also its worth noting there are differences to the shell... The 182 has no spare wheel well, and that means it can have the center exit...
Me again! Have a full beam bulb out. Xenon's both work fine, sidelight bulbs are working fine, but full beam I only have one working. Correct me if im wrong but is it a H7 I need to replace it... and if so what H7 do people recommend!
Exhaust mounts...talk to me!! My Zorst is on the wonk and the rubber part of the rear mount has seen better days! Thinking of just buying one of these CLICK
Unless someone can point me in the direction of something less "Renault" and more likely to last for not much more of the queens finest...
