First time user Chris, I'd suggest: Megs 2500 Grit Megs 4000 Grit Megs Backing Black (which you can cut up into smaller pieces) Lots of washing up liquid and water Then, as you say, touch up with G220 and SFX1 and a polishing pad (SFX2 if you have Sonus pads) Russ

Replied :) Worth getting some of these too Chris: http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/mirka-abralon-sanding-discs-and-accessories-polish.html I use the Megs stuff at the mo though and have plenty left...

On silver, sealants tend to work the best, so something like Carlack NSC/LLS or the Jeffs Prime system. Another good choice is the ClearKote range :)

They are more expensive for me - £690 for 197 R27, 182 was about £605 or so, both with the same insurer...

EZ Brush is your friend: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/ez-detail-brush/prod_480.html

Vics Collectors works a treat on silver IME http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/victoria-wax/victoria-collectors-kit/prod_412.html Otherwise, Carlack and Colli is a superb combo: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/complete-detailing-kits/collinite-476s-carlack-kit/prod_408.html Then a shampoo of...

Ross, you have a talent my friend! Very good!

Anthracite ones? Would look sweet on your car Alex :) Are you lowering it?

Doesn't look like it :( Details are here though: http://www.motorbase.com/contact/by-id/1252/

I'd seriously consider A1 - right on your doorstep and exceptional quality. Let me know if you need a discount code for LapTabs though.

Yeah good point, dry and warm, not sunny!

Next Friday, so 8, nearly 7... the wait is doing my head in!!! :) I just hope it's sunny on Friday so that I can get the old PC out

I believe so yes, Quentin Wilson is all over their sites, he must have scuffed those Merc rims a fair few times!! :)

What's your budget? I have just bought an R27 - 1 of 500, which comes with Cup pack and Recaro's as standard...

Wheel Specialist is Lap Tabs I believe - part of a network of refurbers. There's one in Notts too.

Lap Tabs is about £220 with a discount code - same day service too. A1 in Bilston are the best though IME, but you're looking at £65 per wheel plus VAT

I always do mine first, to avoid water drying on paint on warmer days, and splashing from the wheels/arches onto clean paintwork. Totally separate brushes, buckets etc too. EZ Brush, Swissvax Brush and some Bilberry and you're sorted, with some Megs Super Degreaser for your tyres and arches...

My bonnet got 'egged' (Panther Black Fiesta ST) and I had a 'horse shoe' sized hole in the paint, which had gone through the clearcoat and paint down to primer and metal in some places!! I filled it last week with a touch up pen from Ford, wet sanded using Megs 2500 then 4000 Grit with their...

You'd think so (well hard and soft) but a number of people swear by BA as being the most durable...

Banana Armour is the best all rounder unless spending Supernatural money. Vics Concours is worth a look too :) http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/victoria-wax/victoria-wax-3oz-concours-wax/prod_312.html

Oh and... only NINE days now!!! :)

Where do I get details/tickets Alex?

Why Lake Country? I swear by Megs pads via DA, especially the new 2.0 versions - great pads.

Yes, but the clay would have done that too... it just cleans and prepares the paint for the wax layer

Xenons are optional on R27, but it does have the chrome pack I believe, as standard.

Is a 197 out of budget? Down to £8k now...

Are these the same tyres though? Aren't they SportContact 3 on the 197?

Nice one, thank you! My forthcoming R27 will need a couple in a few months on the front, so it's nice to find a good deal like that!! Cheers :)

Looking very good! I think you would have still benefited from using some SRP or Lime Prime/Lite to 'cleanse' the paint before waxing and after claying. Does look great though!

Looks spot on Alex mate :) Let me know when you want to borrow the PC :)
