It does indeed contain mild abrasives - very impressive turnaround! Did you seal in your hard work?

Why not a Trophy?

I don't get on with Menz products for some reason so have just ordered #80&83 Megs.

SRP is awesome by PC, follow with 3 coats of EGP and it will look great :)

First time I used it as instructed and got great results. Second time, I used foam applicators and buffed it off and for some reason the finish was a lot poorer... bizarre, I guess you should follow the instructions :)

I didn't get on with Bold n Bright - didn't seem to last a long time. Who sells Blackfire?

It's massively underrated - I got 5L of it for £11 from my rep It's very lubricated and seems to be very LSP safe, unlike some of the Megs shampoos I have tried.

A friend who works in CPW's Marketing dept.

The 8GB will cost £269 on PAYG :)

Get some tyre gel instead :) Don't mess with the Trophy dude... it is a thing of beauty... standard FTFW! Maybe some Xenon's and FF Rear Bench?

I use microfibre pads like this: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/blue-perl-microfibre-applicator-pads-pkg/2/prod_186.html SRP can come straight off, but EGP needs 30-60 mins as suggested. Try layering the EGP, I have 3 coats on my black ST and it looks AWESOME.

Ditch the chamois and get a drying towel. Something like this combo will give GREAT results for small outlay http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/complete-detailing-kits/collinite-476s-carlack-kit/prod_408.html

Looks great, but as suggested, get some tyre gel on there ASAP! Megs Endurance, £7, Halfords.

3 coats of EGP looks even better - get back to it :)

As Brun says, should be able to get those out no problem for you - a bodyshop would probably want to respray all of the panels - my friend got quoted £300 and I did it in about 15 minutes!! I'll pm you now.

Saturday is cool mate - I'll PM you my details when I get in, bit tricky on me phone. Cheers Russ.

Yeah no worries - when are you free? I'm pretty free tomorrow so we could do it then if the weather is okay? It doesn't take long... some pics would be useful if you can please? Is that you silver Ph1?

Has the scratch gone through the clearcoat? Can you get your nail into it? My friends 206 was done recently and I did a grand job and removing 80% of it, and minimising the rest with a Porter Cable and some Menzerna polish. I'm in Walsall if you need any help mate. I don't understand...

I got a diNovo Edge... wonderful thing!

Megs Endurance never looks that bling for me :( Which polish/sealant/wax did you use?

I'm guessing Showcase Cinema in Dudley...?

The taskbar icon is a lot prettier :)

Turner - what did you use to clean yours? Looks very wet for silver, very impressive finish!

Says it all really - thanks How many R27's are there in Black and Nimbus - anybody know?

But is it worth the extra? Budget is £15k tops...

I had a quick search but couldn't find any direct comparisons. I have an 07 plate Fiesta ST at the moment, which is fun, but lacks that bit of oomph which the Clio's seem to possess. I don't care about the car being new, or care too much about luxuries, I just want the best all round...

Interesting thread, I am really starting to like the 197, and seeing prices like that I am staggered. One will replace my Fiesta ST within a year :) Are all of the R27's sold now?

What's your budget??

As suggested, give SRP a whirl first, and top with something like EGP or a wax and see how you get on from there.

I'd use a Glaze then a your R222 on top of those. EGP will only bond properly on top of SRP, so I'd steer clear of that.
