Use a cotton polishing cloth the stuff you can buy in rolls from halfords wrap it round the exhaust then pull on either end back and fore for 360 degree all round exhaust polish in one simple movement! ;)
Its because traders are offering good money for them or to p/x. Id prob get just £300 more if i sell privately than what i've been offered by a car supermarket.
I been using the meguirs endurance gel which is quite good but nearly run out now so will be buying the blackfire long lasting stuff looks fantastic in all the photos ive seen.

Thats some seriously mad paint! lol Bet it looks wicked on petrol station forecourts at night! :)
Like the exhausts they look good with the rear spoiler if you know what i mean.
I reckon it would look better without the rear tints, either clear Glass with a boot install showing off or a light...
I thought when First opened the pot ill be able to smell my car from 10 metres away with this on it!
Looking forward to using it when i finally get a trophy and give it the first clean! :)
Don't know really think its because ive only ever used liquid waxes and sealants so had visions of it setting like stone and having to buff it for hours! Smells stunning! Keep opening the pot for a sniff! :)
Was expexting it to be a pain to apply but was suprised how incredibly easy it is to use. Took some photo's for autotrader will post in the cars for sale section too if anyone interested in buying it.

Thinking bout getting one of these. Do they work? Think i'd probably still towel dry my car afterwards i think. Are the filters expensive and how long do they last?
Glad to hear i can make my order now was waiting to see if they any good first!
Last touch was out of stock ill try it next time used to use meguirs quick detailer on my drying towel and then realised its got wax in it so bit stupid using on a drying towel as last thing i want is it repelling...

Had really deep scratch i removed with AG tar remover and heavy scrubbing with MF cloth got rid of it but left my trim with a white mark as if ive taken the dye out of the plastic. Tried normal dressings but they're not working had about ten coats now needs something to dye it back to normal...
When you wash your car before you wash the front end spray all over bug deposits then wash front end as normal with wash mitt and shampoo works a treat will get all the bugs that shampoo and wash mitt wont remove but as said a bottle doesnt last very long! perhaps 6 washes at most! Too expensive...
Cheers rich i need a glaze to use anyway ready for the trophy.
Im on my second coat of EGP was going to wax over the top after the next coat this weekend ready to sell. Should i avoid the areas with the EGP and use the glaze on the areas, or strip it all with paint cleaner and use the glaze all...
Had bumper scuff and two door edges repaired this morning. Guy said dont wash it for 3 days and dont wax it for 3 months. Well im selling my car so ill need to have it looking good for potential buyers, and i can't wax half of the bumper cos it'll look obvious.
Any ideas/recommendations on...
Clean it off as soon as you see it. Just get a bucket of shampoo and a wash mitt and wipe it off. I get it sometimes parking car outside at work. I just make sure i wash it off when i get home only takes 5 minutes.
As for the paint damage im not sure, someone else on here will will though.
