    PC guide - please

    Best bet I would say is to get the DVD that Brazo has done which gives a good guide of how to do things with a PC and a rotary too. Should be able to find out about it on Detailing World.

    AVI's .....

    Install the K-Lite codec pack and play it through Media Player Classic I find that plays most things, I know what you mean about it not play normally though. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

    Meg's do a three step polish which is good for beginners and can be bought from Tim at Clean Your Car, you can get a discount too with the discount code 'ClioSport'.

    172 badge

    Mike from Rentech used to sell them when he had his eBay shop might be worth sending him a PM and see if he can still get them.

    Wheel cleaning brush...which one??

    Don't the brushes just bend back to shape? Is it this Meg's brush that you used?

    Looks brilliant and it'll be much easier when you come to clean them next time too as the wax will protect them.

    Dead fly removal

    Have you tried Poorboys Bug Squash or Einzett Anti Insect instead of using a sponge to do it as these can be used to in a sense soften the bugs to remove them when washing normally.

    Best thing to use to wash my black Clio other than a sponge? (Rich/Ben Clelland)

    The other lambswool washmitt I've got is a Meg's one but I don't think it's as good as the ones from CarWash'n'Wax, it does the dirtier bits such as below the bump strips. I use them with on my hand but I know that Rich prefers to use it as a sponge.

    Shopping List....

    I tend to just just squirt it in the bucket, it needs a few cap fulls if your going by that measurement. With a few cap fulls you get the bubbles that you don't get with less and also you can feel that it's smoother. If you dip your hand in the bucket and then test the smoothness by rubbing...

    Best thing to use to wash my black Clio other than a sponge? (Rich/Ben Clelland)

    Seems like Rich has covered it but as with Rich I have a few lambswool washmitts, the best I have are the ones from David at CarWash'n'Wax. The latest one's I got from David are even softer than the previous ones. Another thing with a lambswool washmitt is that they hold lots of water which...

    Mixing up shampoo and water for lubricant with a clay bar??

    I think it's not really something that has a ratio as different shampoos are thicker than others, as long as the clay can glide then you should be fine.

    Chemical Guys Extreme Top Coat Sealant

    Applied some more Top Coat Sealant to mine yesterday, here's a few pictures, I've yet to put some wax on as I didn't have time yesterday. Image 1 Image 2 Pictures taken with my new Canon 350d, very nice results with it even when I don't know what I'm doing with it.

    CG - Mseal and Black and ..... some Swirls ! Yes!

    As always looking great Rich but it's hard to tell what impact the M-Seal had because your car looked so nice before you applied it. That Escort looks like it's finger marks all down the side of it.

    How do I remove brake dust?

    Spot on, a bit of sealant would be good too. Off the shelf you can get Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Autogylm Extra Gloss Protection.

    How do I remove brake dust?

    Wonder Wheels would probably do it but it very acidic remember. Have you tried anything on them yet before you get suggestions?
