I used the following:
Sonus SFX-1 Spot Pad with the IP
Sonus SFX-2 Spot Pad with the FF
I was alittle undecided which pad to use with the FF but it seemed to turn out ok. It took about 5-6 passes with the IP to get 99% of the marks out.
Its a shame weather/time of year is so crap for...
Another thumbs up for Menzerna range, after taking advice from Tim (Cleanyourcar) I went for the 'RD Twins' and I was really impressed with the ease of use.
My first attempt with a PC and Menzerna IP 3.01 and FF:

Check out www.detailingworld.co.uk it has loads of good advice on the matter.
For just starting off i'd recommend you need the following
Shampoo: Sonus Gloss Shampoo or Poorboys Slicks & Suds or Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II
Clay: Megs Quick Clay or Sonus Green Clay
Polish: Autoglym Super...
mmm you guys must be tucked away in loughborough, im there nearly every day and so far ive only seen a cup that parks near sainsburys and a Artic 182 that again parks around the back of sainsburys.
I've tried the one from polished bliss- its not bad, good for doing larger areas plus its useful for when you want to apply a thin layer of product.
It is of a higher quality compared to the Megs one's which seem to get tatty fairly quickly.
Isnt just based on age and NCB's, postcode, miles, value, storage all come into play,
Best ive got so far with my Cup is £1600 full comp im 20, 2 NCB, Driveway, 10 miles fairly good postcode.
Thats with elephant.
Yeah its a normal 172 you've got, and if its wrong on the v5 then its more that likely a import.
Alot of imported 172's just say "Clio" next to model on the V5- rather than "Clio Renaultsport 172".
A few little questions:
How much?
Do different dealers give different prices?
Where they hard to get hold off?
What do they come with? i.e. do they come with the correct coloured insert- as i'll need cup version with the blue insert.
Thanks. :)
Think you've made a good start so far, If it was me i'd of gone for a different exhaust and different rear lights. But what screams out the most to me is lower it :)
p.s. get some trim dressing on those black plastic bits ! :)
I find the Megs endurance is not bad, however i dont like the greasy feel it leaves and the amount of sling it produces either.
When I order my next batch of products I think i'll try the CG or the poorboys one.
