C2. Decent prep should see it protected for a while and can be applied wet.

Pretty good! Not wax tight, but good none the less :)

845 insulator wax. The looks of AGHD with the longevity of 476.

Lol. IronX. Keep it.

Yeah us "oldies" would have a problem then! Indeed. This is the great thing about the 3M range - the coloured tops of the polish correspond to the pad colours. You won't need anything with more cut, that will sort you.

A second UK wedding reception (last one was in LA in July) and a dentist appointment. Heading up Thursday night and back on Sunday so loads of time. I also appear to be able to work on the car for 24 hour periods of time as shown by the 2 days straight I spent on the Clio when I first took...

Oh, and; AF Citrus power 1l AF Mercury 3x Meg's applicators (whoops, doubled up from CYC order!) C4 and extra applicators PB ultra drying towel

Apologies, labels would help! Yes MpH. If it helps, I have applied G1 and don't like the lack of beading at low speeds as I only do town driving. Have since bought G5 and will be applying that next weekend.

More than welcome. Forgot to reply to your last one but more than a pleasure to have a pint and a chat. Glass, gtechniq g1 or g5 - former for 2yrs longevity but beads at 50+ and latter for 6months but beads at 20+. Gtechniq c4 for the plastics. Same prep for both (cleaned, ipa'd).

I would if I have time wknd/c 14th as I'm up North for a few days. But had intended to give mine a going over so would point you to Mike aka Bifcaids on here. Pop him a PM, great lad, great detailer, trusted by me.

I did wonder, but didn't want to say it and make you start wondering...! Lovely!! Noted, got confused when I logged in on Tapatalk! Nice order lad! I expect there were a lot of experienced lads thinking the same but not having the balls to post it!

And that's a professional detailer! Also, Keg, brilliant. Forgotten about that!

Damn you David!

Cold engine, spray on some all purpose cleaner (Megs APC, G101, AutoGlym Engine and Machine Cleaner), aggitate with a couple of detailing brushes, ideally rinse on a low pressure, but if you're worried, damp cloth and wipe over. Treat the metal as you would your exhaust (metal polish), the...

Forgot to say, package arrived Richy! Ta mate, not opened the sweets though - feel like gummy bears??!

You need to use more lube. Although that might explain why you have a lot of holograms/clay marring in the last photo!

You'd also do well to form a thicker piece to make it easier to hold and use.

Not particularly. Did you reform the clay once it was dirty? It just looks like sap to me.

Yeah I used all of mine up doing dads car a few months ago. That along with most of my flipping AF Mercury so have had to buy some more!

Probably. Maybe? I'll have a think about it (which means no).

I need to stop ordering stuff. 3000 grit Backing block Prima Amigo 00 grade wire wool 2x Meg's applicators

Sound as a pound. My receptionist is away today, so have asked the others to keep an eye out. Nice order :) I did the same years ago. Scratch with a squeegy and went mad with the PC7424 and then the various other machines I bought and sold. Realised that having a wing/awkward angles test...

LIKE.

No just never washed after track days ;) Looks good!

Finger nail deep lad. No point round off the edges, it's not a UDS. These are broken lacqer and the the wing is down to plastic. I need to build layers, wet sand the round paint surface and then attack it with the rotary.

Wing is likely to be delivered soon via CS user hopefully! But interested in thoughts on the door as that's the one I know I can fix and hence pisses me off more!

See above, Shins.

Yeah I've priced up a "breaking spares and repairs" wing on eBay. £60 delivered, good condition (no scratches, swirls I can deal wid). It's the door that royally f***s me off. So you'd advice MF applicator with paint? Wipe over a few times and then polish up, thus removing excess paint from...

Just to point out, Ive found something like Jeffs Prime/Strong works and removes grime both before and after polishing. So depending on how much time, money and concentration you have... oh look a fly. Anyway, you *could* wet routine incl fallout, clay, cleanse (prime), polish (3M etc)...

As I can't text you this little lot, and DW is shite at the mo for your username; Hi guys, I've read the stone chip and scratch threads on here (thanks to Russ/Reflectology) but just wanted a last bit of advice. I have the following scratches from when some kind young chaps slid across my...
