SRP works really well by machine. Don't bother with EGP by machine myself find it quicker and easier by hand.

Not got a clue how much longer I have left, still got lots of niggly bits to do, side skirts, rear bumper etc. Finding the time to do it is the issue. #80 pissed me off as I found it has been filling some stuff rather than removing them, went back to Final Finish after I.P today. Ended up...

Get some pics up, I will pass them onto the guy I know, double skinned is not necessarily a problem using current techniques

Nice work, shame you did not have any finer wet and dry as that would have corrected it but leaving you with less polishing to do restore the shine.

As said double skins are not an issue with current techniques from the outside using some of the hot glue type pulling methods.

Hearing opinions in the paddock at Combe after on Monday most thought a few down changes and trying to keep it on the tarmac to slow it down would have been a better option.

I have spent about 10-12 hours so far on my GTi with loads left to do still. Trying to get it 100% defect free though.

New PDR techniques mean getting in there is no longer an issue - find a better dent guy using more modern methods.

Dent removal sounds expensive, if the paint is not damaged there is no way you should pay that much.

Agreed needs to dwell to do it's job.

I was about a fair bit in the morning on Monday, hopefully catch you soon !

Not really a direct comparison, 5 litres of AG Tar Remover from Autoglym is about the same price. Can't really compare trade range product to a consumer range one. Tardis does seem to shift the tar easier in one step, the AG may need a couple of applications.

I use it as a QD but tend to spray it onto a plush towel and then wipe on the paint and buff straight away with another plush towel. By the time I have gone round the car, if I fancy doing multiple coats I just go round again.

I try and do it using as little water as possible in small sections. Spray a small amont of Autogylm degreaser on a chosen area, agiate with a soft brush for a few seconds to start it working, rinse of with a small amount of water or even better just a damp cloth, dry as best you can with a...

lol - one of my neighbors uses a a sweeping brush and a bucket here !

AG Clean Wheels would be my next step, also try some clay.

Confidence has taken a bit of a knock, but Mondays aims where all achieved to finish both qualifying and the race and most importantly a smile was back on her face and she enjoyed it unlike the first race back - so some big steps forward.

I priced up some wheels and found the same !

No all real, a good friend of mine hence the stickers on her car.

These are the guys in Tewkesbury, the work I have seen is good, not cheap though by all accounts. http://www.reinventingthewheel.co.uk/finishes.html

They turned there existing black road car .... into the current race car... mainly to make the first race as it was quicker than fixing the red shell.

Sod that even use someone elses car !

Sold bud - took a deposit on Sat. First to view. Lad of here as well :) GTi needs LOTs of work still, not sure how mint it will ever get as I don't mind scrubbing just a bit reluctant to throw money at it on parts and paint.

Sinking in the middle ? It is a fairly firm grade of pad, stays nice and flat and even for me.

I have never had any tar that the AG won't shift. I removed 60k's worth of tar with it from the wheel arches on the GTi tonight. Needed a few applications on the trouble spots. Lots of people use clay, try it on dark car and you will see why it is safer to dissolve it with a tar removal product.

As long as it is nice and thin and not left in the sun it seems to wipe of more easily the longer you leave it. Used to wipe it off the next morning when I used to use it on paintwork.

I use them on the daily drive 306 and for wheels and arches. They are crap for the first few uses, but suck up water well after the second or third use. For bodywork on car you car about get a drying towel.

Which Tar remover you using ?

Umm - it is a Degreaser ?!? It is designed to clean oil and grease of engines ! Is stronger then APC! lol

Try some Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner.
