I was just going to say, is nobody worried that he has reproduced and someone has willingly done this with him/it
Love the exterior badge on the seats.
Hope everyone enjoys paying tax today :)
That's like my friends "professionally lowered" vw where they hadn't greased up the threads and had rounded off the top of the struts. On the urban dictionary "professionally" means "done cheap by a mate". <just made that up. Looks terrible, rare with full leather though
That's why its pattern ;) just slight difference in need of a little wiggling.
Chip-mk1 The insignia has worse visability than pete tong when he's happy. Impossible not to crash or hit stuff in them.
What insurer is that, they must be crazy, we used to be more than happy to do that if they put in writing/email/recorded call that they were happy for it to happen. Used to save a little too.
He has the right to have that rack fitted if he wants
The insurer I used to work for was heading towards no pattern parts as it was causing complaints. You would be surprised how many more cars are repairable because the DAL parts are so much cheaper.
as gally says though, too late, there is usually a clause saying we may use replica or green parts
Auto Finesse Update time
Sorry guys, been rather busy the last few days. Finally got a chance to wash the DCI yesterday.
Performance, I have still been noticing tighter beading on the AF than the DJ which is nice to see. I've done about 1000 miles since the wax was put on.
I noted this last...
I'm glad I read this thread before giving mine ago.
Unfortunately it's just been raining non stop here so I can't get mine on yet. Can someone do an opposite rain dance.
Good evening everyone. Unfortunately I haven't had any spare time at home in daylight to wash the car to see the performance. I did however manage to grab this as I left this morning. Both acting very similarly in the frost. I wouldn't however expect a difference. I thought it was a nice shot...
Same thoughts about the back. That 3m kit did wonders on the headlights!
I'd do a FULL sus refresh first and then a cup spoiler would be my next change
Most of the plastic bits you want to get done with be texturised. It would be best to get ones which are already painted and therefore smooth. Then have those painted.
Handles, wingmirrors, spoiler and sidestrips are all available in smooth form. Front and rear bumper inserts I'm not so sure about
I find the DJ is almost to hard to make it easy to use although I have got through it at a much slower rate. It really was the buffing off that surprised me, do 2 panels, wipe the first off, cover another, wipe the oldest etc. The DJ seems to take quite a bit longer to dry but unfortunately I...

Here's my thread incase you missed it http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?721739-Auto-Finesse-product-test-Iron-Out-and-Spirit
Comments welcome so I know what I can do better. What people would like me to comment on about the products.
Slight delay due to the 'orrible weather. I managed to get a second coat of both waxes on. A little more thinking whilst applying. I do get through the AF quicker than the DJ. This however does have advantages. It's easier to see on the car and is substantially easier to buff off. I seems to...
Thank you AutoFinesse is the first thing I need to say.
Just to give a bit of background so everyone knows where I am in the car cleaning ranks. I love a clean car but like most people I rarely find the time to spend a whole day doing the million steps to get a flawless finish. I have never...
