It is swings and rounabouts on that one ideally it would be good to use both the SRP for its minor correctional abilitys and the Carlack for it's chemical cleaning ability. For me SRP wins as I have litres of the stuff.

For anyone that has not got a PC and are buying now it really is a no brainer which one to go for, shame it has taken so long for it to be that way !

Polishing in the winter is a a mare, you can get away with it at certain times of the day if the weather allows, anything after about 3 pm is a no no when it starts to get damp.

You must have a dirty leg looking at the pics. I have not washed my 306 for months and can't get it anywhere near as dirty as that!

I want to try and get a full coat of wax on mine over Xmas but can't be bothered to fight the weather.

Can't believe that did not do any damage - must have been lucky.

EGP will be the most durable, but a pain to use in this weather. Don't rate either the NXT or Gold Class, neither are durable, but will both be slightly easier to remove. I would not like to use any at this time of year tbh.

Proper baked on brake dust won't be touched by SRP, if it is really bad there is rarely anything other than an acid type cleaner that will touch it. Used as a one of and then the wheels repolished after should not be to big a problem. It is when you end up doing it week in and week out. I...

The lights in the bonnet pic is great.

So much for it staying standard! 306 GTi 6 or Rallye will be big enough for me.

You may be in for a long task on VW paint, I look after a Black R32 for a neighbour. Go down to 4 inch spot pads and work in smaller areas if need be. When I did the initial correction on the above car I had to use 4 or 5 inch pads to do the whole car as the bigger pads where not effective. DP...

If Wonder Wheels is not touching the baked on brake dust, Meguiars APC is not going to do anything. You may need to look into something more potent still, which is a hard one as Wonder Wheels is on of the harsher wheels cleaners out there - you may need to look into something like Meguiars Wheel...

All the Megs stuff has warning even the shampoo says don't get it on your skin lol! Yanks! No worse to get the Megs Degreaser on you hands than say the AG Engine and machine cleaner.

Audacity for chopping up sound files etc.

Renault Sport Badge is stuck on with Trim Tape. Clio Badge has a pin either side and locates in the tailgate holes, will just pull off.

Getting there Paul, would hate to have to use it looking at the roads at the moment.

I don't notice and adverse vibrations at speed 6 and use it most of the time.

Should add nicely to the looks. Though since finding Menzerna Final Finish and using the PC it does not add anything much to well polished paint, I used to notice the difference when looking after my old Pugs by hand.

The sticky nature of it makes it hard to get really thin, but that is the ideal situation. As you remove some it - it is like you remove the top layer and then it re dries. It is a finiky product to use thats for sure. Pushes my patience so have turned to easier to use glazes, problem is most...

The #7 can be a right pain in the arse to use, I would not even go there at this time of year unless inside. It normally takes a few passes to remove, best is to use two towels, use one to remove the majority of it and then another to remove the left overs and give a final buff. The towels will...

The Poorboys DMT's are nice towels, I use them for polish removal and then use Micropak Ultra Plushes for Quick Detailing and then the Sonus Der Wunder Towels for Waxes. On Tar I would use a decent tar remover rather than try and shear it off with clay.

As above working by hand to remove them will be a very big effort, will require lots of elbow grease and in the cold it will be even worse. What car, your Mini ? if the paint is hard like other BMW's you will have your work cut out. I would pay someone to machine it tbh.

lol - don't get stopped by the 5-0 - I see you have cleaned your wheels but not your number plate !

Won't give anywhere near the foam a pressure washer will, I find mine ideal though as I can't be arsed with pressure washers.

Very unlikely you will succesfully remove the scratch without deforming the glass. Headlights are plastic and if heavily pitted chances are they won't polish up perfectly. Any mild polish is worth a try on them though.

You need to use it once to break it in so to speak, brand new it feels very firm, after one use it softens up. It is a great pad for in good shape paint with Menzerna Final Finish it does a superb job.

Top skills ...

My favorite pad for sure.

A decent wax or sealant should protect you paintwork, it is the underside and wheels arches you need to keep clean at this time of year.

Don't say that he will get a 08 car to paint like a rainbow ...
