The megs lambswool mitts have a mesh on one side for removing bugs . Not all lambswool mitts are the same , some are just double sided lambswool with no mesh .Tbh though once its cleaned and waxed the bugs should come off with just washing using a lambswool mitt .

^^^ Yeah , i remember seeing it on ebay before , he's obviously struggling to sell it .

It'll cost about £8 to get repaired .

^^^^ Like Alan says . Get it waxed n sealed . Next time the dried on bugs will come off easy . You need to soak and rehydrate thedried on bugs to shift them . If they are really bad make a strongish mix of shampoo and water and spray the bugs and leave them to soak .It should make it easier...

Use 2 buckets to wash , using a lambswool washmitt . One with shampoo in and one bucket with clean water to rinse the dirty water off the washmitt . Then dry with a waffle weave towel . I use autoglym super resin polish , then follow it with autoglym extra gloss protection . Then something...

^^^ Nice one . Thanks for that Ben :)

Looks as good as any black car i've seen that Al . Really good job there mate :)

Have you got a link to the primo hydro ben ? I can't find it on serious performance .

Yeah the collinite is very good stuff . But tbh you sound like a right lazy b*****d when it comes to cleaning your car , lol, no offence mate ;) If i was you i'd get my arse down to Halfords tomorrow ( this is the bit where i get slagged off , lol ) and get some of the Turtle wax , wax it...

Lookin good mate .

The seats look good , but thats about as passionate as i can get about the 197 .

^^^ Flux will want proof of a better quote . I just gave them the reference number privilege issued me with so they could check it was real . Plus privilege's excess was lower so Flux matched that also .

^^^^ Same here for me . I always pay it in one lump . But i always get a renewal quote off Adrain Flux that i have to ring up and confirm if i want to renew or not . Plus i always send any kind of document by recorded delivery so i have proof that they have received it . Try...

You can use it on your ring piece mate if thats your thing ;)

If your in Manchester like Fred said . I'd get down to Powerflow in Burnley . I paid £270 for a stainless catback stealth for my old 172 .They did a top job and i know a few other people on here have used them and rate their work as very good . TOP GEAR Northwest Ltd 1 CAROLINE COURT...

Free :bump: for you alex . Good stuff this Collinite 845 Insulator Wax , i like to alternate what wax i use and this is one i like using ,very easy on and off and lasts quite a while too :)

Fcuk me mate . Thats bad luck . Not a good start to your 172 ownership . At least you didn't have to foot the whole bill if thats any consolation .

^^^ I was wonderin if it was that . I asked Guy from opieoils about flushing the engine before i change my oil and this was his reply : Andy, Thanks for the pm. Dont bother with a flush, they can do more harm then good. Just drain and replace, the synthetic will do all the cleaning...

^^^ Whats the engine treatment you use for exactly ?

I like it .Looks really good on a black car :)

Nice one mate . Enjoy it , best colour as well imo ;) Same here for me Matt , i average about 25 , not as many motorway miles as i used to , plus i always floor it everywhere i go , lol .

Fcukin hell . Those supersprints are expensive :eek: £555.99 for the backbox £853.34 for the front section and cat . £205.30 for the centre section £187.76 for the tail pipes £1802.39 + delivery Costs more for the exhaust than an engine. Don't think i'll be having a supersprint...

The cars in the background are in a more secluded area than mine . Right behind the car are the petrol pumps so lots of people always buzzing about .

I went to Adsa this evening , parked up as i usually do ,miles from anyone else , on an angle and over the white line , 99% of the time nobody parks near you . When i came back this is what i found , lol .

You could just make a hole in the 90 degree bend , get a 16mm samco hose and put a small piece of tube in to connect to the bend like i did .

Powder coatings ok , but it does tend to chip alot more easily than paint .

It doesn't instill confidence in the dealership if they can't even get a simple thing right like filling up the oil to the correct level does it . Its not exactly rocket science , thats what the dipsticks for at the end of the day , to check the level .

Sounds very cheap to me .

I couldn't remember off the top off my head exactly last night what lights went out . Just got the car out the garage . With the key turned but the engine not started , all the lights go out except the stop light , handbrake light and battery light .All the lights that do go out including...

Its a bit weird how its managed to come loose . They are usually a bit of a t**t to get off without breaking the clip that holds it in . Have you just had your oil changed , or was the metal clip broken off to start with . Best thing to do when your changing the oil is take off the whole...
