John, just realised I've not replied to your PM from yonks ago! Apologies!
C1 is the old favourite, but isn't sold any more. It's now taken the form of C1+ and C1.5 Silo Seal, which just don't offer the same longevity.
However, C5 and C4 are supposed to be the same product (pretty sure it's...
And what look like brush marks!!! Hammerite smooth would look better!!
You took it to Renault, it's Renault's problem. I took my car to Audi for an MOT test, they took it to some tiny garage, the tester missed a broken spring (didn't therefore qualify for some MOT insurance I had taken out with...
Ah now you see, that's slightly more of an issue. Stone chips and "not our fault" might come up as stone chips don't fall under warranty work - although they appear to have already agreed to do it...
Dad had a similar scenario with his. Because the arches are very wide and so are the rear...
Their job to fix it. That's the last word. I presume it's warranty work on the 200, so can't be more than a few years old? Is it rust related or paint bubbling?
I had the same on my car (albeit a 10 year old Audi) - paint warranty is 12 years, it went back three times for a 30cm by 5cm area...
There we go!
Ok, If there are no swirls, a decent glaze (red moose) followed by a wax. I presume your car is still the same colour as your avatar, so follow up Red Moose Glaze with the carbon wax.
Apply RMG with your machine with a soft buffing pad and the wax by hand/applicator pad.
Could you run that by me again? Are you saying there is no hazing, or hasn't been polished? What are you trying to achieve? And who or what are "Manzano products"?!
I've also grown to like them. I wasn't 100% at first. But they do need a refurb. 9 years pre my ownership of Audi only car washing has destroyed them! IronX just laughs!
I'm sure it'll be perfectly acceptable. We all take the piss out of the cheaper stores like ALDI and Lidl, but I've had some bits from there over the years and they've lasted as long as they're needed (deck chairs, tennis balls etc).
Red moose is superb. Although Prima Amigo might be better.
To strip previous LSPs, usually strong solution of APC as you've said or washing up liquid. Not keen on the latter as it contains salts so could potentially scratch.
Just ordered an r32 rear arb. It's meant to cure understeer. 19mm and works for TT too. Just shy of £200 fitted or £128 and fit yourself.

There's actually a chap on AudiSport who is looking into how the Haldex Gen 1 system works (hydraulics and pins, allowing flow and pressure against plates). I don't pretend to know about it, but quite an interesting read if you want me to...
Colour is growing on me, probably the sun/clean photos. Not keen on the wheels, but I'm a boring sod and prefer the B5 RS4 genuines on every Audi I look at (mine, dad's avant, mum's sportback etc lol).
Chappers, Whizzer on DW has you logged in and posting yesterday? Are you still having issues?
Gally, he had you logged in yesterday at 11am. I only tried at 4.40pm?!
