Yes looks that way, was waiting to get the 106 home. 182 is in it till it is gone, I have an issue that the 106 mirrors dont fold in so it may be a squeeze to even get it in as every other car has needed to go close up to the wall to get down the side of it and get out.

Nice to here all went well. I managed to do all the 106 bar the side skirts and front and rear valences which will have to wait. Most of the Swirls came out with just one set of Intensive Polish passes I was shocked !

Sell :(

Collected last night - swirled to hell so I am off to get cracking on it ready for Combe tomorrow. One before pic lol

Alan says dry is not a problem as your soooo small ... I just use up crap soaps I will never use again

I use 2 or 3 capfuls of shampoo to 500ml of water.

Picked it up last night looks great until the sun shines or under lights - deep gloss BUT with loads of swirls. Got to sort them today before Combe tomorrow.

When I collect my friends 172 - http://www.richtreen.co.uk/images/dee172/

Even if you wash as carefully as you can you will pick up the odd mark. As Loony says there actual removal or hiding depends on the product.

I have got my GTi home Swirly as hell, lucky I have a unit to use in the morning for a days buffing !

I reckon getting it coconut blasted is the only way to get a clean factory look.

As said you can cause serious marring claying a car badly - people on here have posted picture to prove it. As said as long as the clay is warm and soft and the surface had plenty of QD or soapy water on it you will be fine, don't use loads of pressure or use the clay again if you drop it. Make...

Clay is not the best way to remove tar, shearing it off is never the most effective or most paint friendly way - get a decent tar remover.

That is just a QD for the Jeffs range. The main keys are keeping the clay warm and soft, on a cold day keeping it in warm water works well, on a normal day the warmth your hands will be fine. As long as you keep the surface lubricated and the clay in contact with the car clean. If claying...

If claying with soap and water I rewash. If using QD I don't.

What ever I use on my silver car look s the same, I would go with P21s if you have a sealant on it, or something like Megs #16 or Collinite as a standalone wax protection.

Wash Clay Polish Sealant Wax Is the correct order. Not a big fan of the NXT'S I would Wash - Duragloss Wash Clay - Megs Clay Polish - Autoglym Super Resin Polish Sealant - Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection Wax - P21s

Of the shelf you can't go wrong with the Meguiars kit. Also for the money P21s is very nice, looks great on Blues just is not very durable. Fine if you have a good sealant under it though.

Good old blighty ... :rolleyes:

I did half the car with Vics Concours and half with Onyx at the weekend each have there own slightly different look, prefer the Onyx in looks and ease of use.

Judging by the swirl it has now, it does look like it may be a pain still, as long as it does not marr as easily as Black Gold does.

Wow - stunning shots

Looking awesome as ever.

flol!

S/Westers would call it needy....

Is it single stage paint, lots of Black Lexus used to be, if so it should be not to bad to correct.

As said use the #80 first on a polishing pad and see how it goes. Step up to #80 on the light Cut pad if the first combo does not work. If still no joy try the #83 on a polishing pad, stepping up to a light cut pad if need be. What colour lexus ?

The times I have used it and all the marks it picks up when I do have told me enough. The GTi is darkish blue but hopefully will be less of a mare !

The Clearkote Glazes look great, but as does Meguiars Show Car Glaze.
