    Removing paint off leather

    Just try some Megauiars All Purpose Cleaner or Autoglym Interior Cleaner, Emulsion is water based so you should not need turps.

    172 H&R coilovers

    Better dampened, less harsh ride far less crashy over bumps. Felt much more composed.

    172 H&R coilovers

    If the 172 H&R's feel like the 182 ones you will be pleased. I much preferred the H&R'd 182 I drove over the Trophy.

    Any reason my cloths are marring my paintwork ?

    I find it takes about 4 cloths even to do a Clio, one to wipe it around and one to buff it off, then change them for fresh half way round.

    Has anyone tried this?

    I need to get some Shampoo from Matt next time I need to do an order.

    Opinions/your wasing routine?

    The Argos things have no power to correct swirls. You really need a Dual Action type machine such as the Porter Cable or Megs G220 to do any sort of paint correction, and even they make hard work of defects compared to a rotary, but are a easier to use.

    You can ditch the drying stage before claying if you like.

    Opinions/your wasing routine?

    I would get a good drying towel to replace the chamois 3 coats of wax in one hit won't really work or make much difference.

    Any reason my cloths are marring my paintwork ?

    Normal one of the less streaky ones for me. How much QD did you apply per panel, how warm where the panels, how many cloths where you using ?

    Regular cleaning?

    If you get a suitable brush you can get inside the standard 182 wheels quite easily and clean them well without the need to remove them. Though removing them will allow you to polish and seal the inners. I tend to SRP and EGP wheels twice a year and then maintain them with Poorboys Wheel...

    Regular cleaning?

    Indeedy, Couple of plush microfibers, one to spread it around the panel, one to buff to a nice finish.

    Any reason my cloths are marring my paintwork ?

    Blotting and laying the towel flat should dry it fine. QD in the sun is can be a mare on black - which one did you use ?

    Regular cleaning?

    Quick Detailer will restore gloss and give back the just waxed look after washing.

    Any reason my cloths are marring my paintwork ?

    Never wipe with them - always blot ! Some QD's leave a slight haze on Black when applied in the sun or on warm panels.

    Regular cleaning?

    Weekly wash after using a decent wax or sealant will need nothing more than a wash and spritz of QD. Wax once a month or so less with high end waxes. Polish once or twice a year if your wash carefully.

    Has anyone tried this?

    As the review shows - Very nice QD, I like it alot. Will be getting the large size next time I order.

    Is this worth spending a few quid on?

    lol !!! The Argos think wont do any sort of paint correction! I would not jump on straight away with a Rotary, the Porter Cable D.A types machine will do the job and are a better bet for the beginner.

    Autoglym : Anyone used these products ??

    Ditch the UDS it's not that great. Infact it is fairly shite TBH! Go for the Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection topped with a nice Carnuba Wax. You may need something to use first with some more bite if the paint has defects that need correcting.
