It's usually around this time of year (when kids break up from school) that eggs get thrown around. I had one land on my old white clio a couple of years ago and I never did fully remove the egg shell. Once it sticks, it's vitually impossible to shift with just soap and water. AG Tar remover...

I'm looking to lose my wax virginity soon, so I might give the p21 a try. is it good for metalic green do you think?

AG EGP on alloys?

If you're a real mate, you would do it for free and take satisfaction from not only doing the job well, but teaching someone an essential car detailing skill.

Rich, what were you doing in the background of that picture - was it a surprised, rabbit caught in the headlights moment, were you trying to communicate something, or doing a dance perhaps? Either way, very amusing.

What Mk is/was that originally?

You could try Autoglym Interior Shampoo Complete and perhaps the Stain & Scuff Removal Kit if you think you really need it, depends how bad your seats really are, and your budget of course. I don't think soapy water will do a very good job to be honest, but I'm sure Rich will be along in a...

LOL - I love the sales pitch "Get your weekends back... Get a Dual-Action Car Polisher!" I think "Lose entire weekends, and possible your girlfriend... Get a Dual-Action Car Polisher" would be amore appropriate.

Think that's beyond the capabilities of Mcguires Scratch-X to be honest. How old are you? I would imagine this will send your future insurence through the roof?

Do you have a link to any examples? Not the Personal Computer, the cleaner.

Don't machine polisher's create more swirling?

What's a PC?

Cheers Rich. Bloody instructions advise you to follow the points I listed above.

Anyone have any tips for using mcguire's scratch X? Bought some at the weekend to try and shift some minor scratching, but I simply cannot get any results at all using the following detail method: 1. Clean surface area to remove any dirt and defects 2. Apply product with a clean, dry polishing...

Hmmm.... shampoo in a spray bottle - never thought of that one. Rich - you should be given your own plinth in Trafalgar Square in appreciation of your detailing genius.

Glass cleaner is just glass cleaner, regardless of brandname. There is no difference in what you use. To be honest my interior rarely needs cleaning because I only use the car at wekends. Pledge is a bit lame, agreed, but it totally restored my rubber mats to box-fresh showroom condition. It...

Thanks. Every day I learn something new on this place. It's more useful than Wikipedia.

4th picture down - what was the cause of those defects and how did you get rid of them? I have some very ever so slight white marks along my door which I'm not sure how to tackle. I don't think it's the primer I can see coming through as the marks arn't that deep. But then again it could be...

Is it advisable to use a product like Autoglym Super Resin regularly, like once a month for example? I din't think this was an abrasive polish, but I could be wrong.

Ah man they're totally ruined now. I would hang my head in shame if my wheels were in that state. Perhaps you should get a set of turini's before people start talking. :)

I doubt it.

So, is that what you would do then if it was your car?

She just had it resprayed believe it or not after someone reversed in the drivers door. Talk about bad luck.

It's a minefield of cleaning products out there. Is Scratch X any good on deep scratches and marks? Someone keyed my next door neighbours Festa last weekend (from the petrol tank all the waydown the bonnet) although luckily it wasn't deep enough to reach the primer. She knocked on my door to...

You own a 182 and live in Thamesmead? Respect! If I lived in Thamesmead and owned a 182, I'd sleep inside the car every night (with tools) to prevent it getting nicked. Had a Clio nicked from Welling Way a while back, parked up just round the corner from the Station.

Ah probably not then - deffo chrome wheels. I'll have to keep an eye out for you.

deleted - wrong comment for this thread

Perhaps it was you I saw - blue car? I didn't get a clear view of the zorst(s), so could be 100% sure if it was a 172/182. Plumstead often hosts these annoying Make Merry events on the Common. Perhaps we should do a Mini Merry Meet lol?

I'm still curious to know what thay thing is on the front - some kind of protection against stone chips - I think it looks quite original. And as you say, your car, your modes, but care to share?

Where you guys from then? If you ever pass through Timbercrosft Lane and spot a scarab green Clio S (MK2 PH1), that's me.
