Back to how it should look! Restored the lacking depth in other words.

Could not resist trying to sort out what the paint lacked with the Dodo alone today so wacked on a coat of Swissvax Saphir over the top as the weather was ok.

Wind noise maybe a badly bonded front screen a few on here have had a whistle at higher speeds down to this. Lumpyish idle from cold starts is normal.

Oops - Damn wrong forum !

You become more perfect by the day, get Alan to pick you up and get down here ...

Indeed - I like fake tits, shiny rubber, pvc and car tyres lol

No need to be completely dry - I use it as an aid to get the remaining bits of water.

Nice - is that the red thong in the net ?

It is all those tricky areas though! I can just about get a cloth between the cup spoiler and rear screen, carefully run a MF round the rear windows, but the mirrors get me every time now matter how carefully I dry them.

lol @ the sticker backing! Nice work - looking good, Black is the daddy.

Pah - Glossy tyres rule ;)

Nice work, a scrub with car shampoo or some degreaser will clean the sills. Avoid trim with the AG Twins as it will mark them as you found.

Spray a small amount directly the panel, spread around with one plush MF and remove the excess and buff to a gloss with another plush MF is my method. You can spray it onto a MF cloth and use it that way if you don't want to apply it directly to a panel through spraying. Tim at Clean Your Car...

182 Cup - Friday Edition by the sounds of it.

Sorry sweetness , My normal wash process is wash, rinse with with the filtered water, allow to dry, quick lap round the block (500metres) and then QD with a plush MF getting rid of any runs.. I will redo my regime for you though! I really can see it picking up much more dust and grime than just...

After washing ? Most expensive way rinse with filtered water - on my Black 182 I can rinse and not dry even in sunlight will dry spot and streak free. ( I have the one the wee boy above links) Cheaper options, wash, dry, drive round the block and re wipe the water runs. Or use a can of...

How many more boxes have you added since though ?

Still not braved it yet ! Noticed a few of your posts over on Macrumours Sneeks.

My hero, want a medal ? ;)

Had no read that before. Once I get all the way round I just go round again! That said there is no real benefit on my daily drive one coat and then a coat of Zymol Titanium is still holding up and that was applied in September, alway kept outside and covered at least 8K since.

Problem with T Cut it installs fine hazy scratches when raking out bigger ones. Is very old fashioned. There are much better modern day products with diminishing abrasives that start off with a heavy cut like as T Cut does but are able, unlike T Cut to break down into fine finishing polishes...

Crappy seating position pisses me off every time I sit in it. Apart from that still love mine.

Where not that keen to haggle in my local one, London Camera Exchange where however so went with them after some net price matching.

197 is still not growing on me looks wise, would consider a Black one alongside my 182 but not as a replacement for. The first test drive I did in a 197 put me off it from a driving point of view to. As soon as I saw the 172 Cup I knew I wanted one, though missed the boat and ended up with a...

Most glass polishes/kits deform the glass in removing the defects, best of changing the screen in most cases, www.frost.co.uk do sell a glass polishing kit to use on a drill if you do fancy trying it.

Clearkote Quickshine if you have any cleaning geek ! Any QD will do tbh !

The cheek of it I am 22 ... LOL @ 80 miles, have it down for 6K a year just in case lol - car has not done that.

Try some Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner, you can mix it up a touch stronger to allow it to do a better job than the Autoglym.

Use a mix or Autoglym Interior Shampoo and water on a Microfiber Cloth and use as little as possible to remove the stain. The Alcantara website says to use nothing but a dry or if you have to a damp cloth.

A QD after washing should renew that just waxed look. Current faves all over carnuba waxes in no particular order. Sonus Carnuba Spritz Pinnacle Mist Zymol QD Zymol Field Glaze Clearkote Quickshine. Also use Megs Last Touch but only during polishing or as a drying aid.
