I use SRP, EGP, P21 religiously on mine Justin because, as said, I can't see silver changing much with higher spec products. I'll have mine in my boot tomorrow so you can give it a shot if you want mate.

Nice job, did she even notice the difference!?!

gheyness Was just trying to think and, after failing, was wondering if any other OZ F1's have been done in anthracite... would've thought it was common, but can't think.

On the car now:

I thought it only autolocked if you unlocked the car and then didn't open any doors? Therefore, how would the keys get inside!?! Hope it's ready for Sunday...

Picked them up today, Wheel Guard looks like gloopy fun!

Ordered yesterday, turned up today, can't ask for more than that. Well, it would've helped if I wasn't working so could actually have been home when they were delivered - collect them tomorrow. Cheers Dave. :)

Hopefully. It seems that Saturday is going to be relatively nice across the country (at least on my route up) and that Sunday is raining in the South West but nice higher up. It makes Friday's cleaning difficult, but a nice convoy would be a good change after last year's torrential conditions!

Glad you've stood your ground through the usual negativity you get on here whenever you mention you have a fast car, welcome. :) I personally love the Coupe's, unfortunately the missus does not. £5kish for a monster sounds like fun though!

I use QD on slightly heavier 'dust' and dirty marks but can only get away with doing this because silver hides the swirls well, would never try it on a darker coloured car.

Rich - best QD, money no object?

It's easier than making a bacon sandwich.

The best one :) What modifications are you looking at for it?

Only the Ph1's are cable throttle. ^Beat me to it.

You won't see a great deal difference in a clayed car and a non-clayed car - it removes imperfections and bonded on crap from the paintwork that washing doesn't remove. Also, gets rid of the layers of wax that can build up over time. It'll make the shine and reflection slightly more even but...

I enjoyed doing them but I won't be doing it again anytime soon! I've not got the space at my place so it involved driving to the folks' house everyday last week, much to the annoyance of my missus and parents! Plus, it's about £60 in materials, so would need to charge more to make it...

Lol, technically they'll be 'in' the car...

Lol, I live in a road where you have to drive on the curb to get up and down it, so these wheels aren't even touching the curb until after the weekend. I'll park it in a car park opposite my street on the Friday night just to make sure! And the flake in the silver is normal mate, every...

Yes, but would you really want Turinis on your car!?! :dead:

Already muddied up with a nice spirited drive...

What you have on before? Looks nice mate.

If you turn a blind eye to the chips, dents, etc then yep, she's a stunner! :)

Same ^ But don't think I'd be able to handle the swirls. Caught sight of some on the bonnet of mine today, so I moved and they disappeared! :D

Lovely looking tomato

Cheers doods, I didn't find masking the tyres too difficult, just lots of little bits of tape right down under the rim and then larger strips of paper right around seemed to do the job. The tyre valves were buggers to get right though! There are little signs of the old silver where the tape...

Cheers guys. :) I cleaned them, sanded down, used P38 to fill in all the curbing, and then sanded that down. Then I masked them up, including the tyre valve, sprayed about 3/4 coats of primer on them and let it dry overnight. That was then wetsanded down and then I sprayed about 5/6 coats of...

Got closer to sorting the car for next Sunday today, 2xEGP and P21s just for fun - will do the same again on Friday! I'm impressed with the flake popping I'm getting, normally I find Titanium 647 difficult to get a decent flake. Have also been refurbing my wheels over the last...

White Spirit's what I always use.

An issue over on Detailing World regarding use of the brandword 'Zymol', it seems they can't use it anymore.
