Me too, I have 2 of those. Use the waffle-type towel for my wheels as it has a rougher feel I wouldnt dry the pantwork with it Recently got myself one of these - should be good (it's MASSIVE :) ) http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/microfibre-cloths/ultra-plush-25-x-36-miracle-dryer/prod_362.html

Put it on both (inner & outer) "skins" of the door :) You dont have to put massive sheets on at a time, do it in a criss-cross or honeycomb effect. This ensures better coverage of the door thus covering more area with the amount of DE you get in a pack. Little off-cuts in odd-spots help to...

Good deal here on quality/spec - get the most of both worlds for your money :) http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/1234.html

1st link doesn't work Alpine! for reliability and quality over the Infinity

Not a personal fan of LY but that one was stunning - nice motor. No actually :lolup:

Not quite as much Red as you expected ;) Took the car to the Open Weekend for www.audioadvice.co.uk They have recently moved into their new state of the art premesis, and damn - it is cool :cool: Their demo car ;) I'm like a big child :o...

Polish, then some Auto Glym Super Resin Polish to make a better bond before the EGP. Leave it for a day or until after your next wash, then wax it :)

:lolup: What on earth did you buy? Have to admit, I just spent over £400 on a power washer, accessories and "topping-up" my valet kit :o I still have a notion of starting my own valeting outfit - need a bit more practice and somewhere to put up a shelter though

It was PC'd mate - with Menzerna IP P09 on a sfx-2 pad I use scratch-x for bringing the paint back up after wetsanding touch-ups

IMHO you're better-off getting a sub & amp seperatly, with a decent wiring kit too :) If you think about it, most (almost all) active subs are a money/space/time saver for the user AND the installer. Cheap & cheerful bass for the "do the job rightly" gang. main advantages of sub & amp are...

Yeah, I always make enough passes to break the polish down, so its a simple wipe afterwards. I'm either not gettting all the swirls out with the PC, or i could re-swirling when im glazing/buffing somehow :(

aaaaahhhhhh... I knew that! :o Will I benefit from better lighting as said above, or am I actualy doing something wrong?

What's LSP? :S

Will do - hope to give mine a final inspection when I get myself some decent lighting - I'll probably make my street look like a scene in CSI with all this gear around the car lol :clown:

I used the Megs #83/80 combo on sfx pads - came up pretty well. PB SSR range is much easier on/off though (same pads) Menzerna IP - used it on my most recent clean with SFX-2 pad Just as easy on/off as the PB and a really nice finish (in my eyes anyhow) Since that I've got my hands on a...

I'm stll not happy with the finish on mine after the last buff - can see swirls at night in the streetlights :( Something I'm doing wrong, or maybe because I'm not using haolgen spots when polishing?

The man of the MF cloth saves the day again :hail:

What about the other one with the bigger bottle on the lance, will it cover the whole car (as below)? :) http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=302

I can't get used to applying EGP thin enough - always a b*llox to remove :( I dont use any halfrauds cloths Jamie - they're not worthy of my car lol Sonus ultra-plush ones from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk get my vote ;)

I got mine from Autopia when I bought my PC. I just order any extra ones from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk - great site :)

Should use the MF cloths anyway, good soft plush ones so to reduce the swirls on your paint :)

I just ordered a Karcher foam lance from www.elitecarcare.co.uk today You get 1litre of Snowfoam free with it too :)

Yes! But they will charge you an arm, and maybe a leg too so you won't be able to drive the car afterwards :rolleyes: A good re-trim is the cheaper option, and better quality depending on where you get it done.

Thanks again folks :) I have some better pics on the mobile from last weekend, will get them up soon. All goes well Jamie, catch you later

Cool, any way of fixing orange peel?

Interesting, are there any visible signs of a thin or worn-away clearcoat?

Seen those, think I'll give it a miss @ over £400 lol

Glad I know that now. How can you tell if you do go through your clearcoat?

Nice car mate :) lol @ the jokes, maybe a bit heavy on our newcommers?

When you selling it? ;) lol Very nice mate, enjoy it! I'm still saving for mine :o
