Should have kept the 172 ;)

No buying 5 litres even for personal use makes sense. It comes in a metal tin and keeps, I have some that is 4 odd years old.

Ouch the suggested mytyres fitting place round here is 5 quid a tyre as well.

Even for personal use it makes sense tbh.

Can't remember the last time I cleaned mine. Daily drive gets cleaned once every 4-8 weeks.

5 litres direct form AG is 20 odd quid - now that is a bargain ;)

PC - Porter Cable - the original choice. A random orbital machine (spins and oscillates to make paintwork burning hard) basically wood sander converted for paintwork use, made in the US 110V so you would need a transformer. UDM- Ultimate Detailing Machine, a modified / Porter Cable Clone...

After seeing how hard you actually have to try and burn through paint with a Rotary as others have said strike through is not the main problem with them. You find a thin patch with a porter cable or even by hand and you will go through anyway. The main downside to a rotary is getting a perfect...

Your username looks to be quite true ! Top effort.

lol ! So true, you will get better results by hand than you will with the halfords thing.

Neither are too strong, both are fine on wheels, arches etc. The De-Greaser will be the more effective out of the two.

Ag Tar and Adhesive Remover is also worth a shot.

Treat as you would any other interior trim. AG Interior Cleaner or Meguiars APC and warm water depending on the level of grime.

Glazes can become a bot on a minefield as there are pure glazes and ones that also clean and polish In true pure terms there is the likes say Meguiars Show Car Glaze #7 which is basically an oily product to add more gloss and wetness to the paint. It was intended just to add a really nice look...

Any car shampoo will be better than Fairy ! If your worried about cost just buy a big value bottle that will last you for ages. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-amp-drying/meguiars-hyper-wash/prod_326.html

I would use a finer grade of paper, but using some elbow grease you will remove the sanding marks if you use 2000 or 2500 paper.

User error ^^^ - As said before there is nothing to take off, you need to work the product till it is gone - that is the way to make it do it's job.

Mine doesn't have it.

That is the art to a rotary getting a perfect finish with one, which is why lots of people finish off with a PC type machine after.

Ditto

lol - Rusty Paul cries again volume 6

I spilt 2 litres on the drive yesterday - doh! Don't ask ! Not brick just concrete, tried the fairy liquid and apc route first and it looked better, but not ideal so went to halfords and got some Swarfega stuff, looks better still but still a bit discoloured, so in the same boat. I have heard...

Depends on the product Ali as said before, works fine for me, wipe it on neat if need be.

I think you will find it is Deep Bronze lol

Autoglym Super Resin on textured Black trim is how I am reading this thread ? If so applying more SRP onto the trim where it has gone by mistake will just make it worse.

Sounds like old man James - not Black though ...

lol NO!

Einszett Plastic Cleaner or Meguiars APC

Not seen it in there on the shelf, some mix paint so you may get lucky.

I heard it was down to beating the meat and not spinach ;)
