But thats the thing Nick, It doesnt well not on the mk1 anyway, Autocar tested the cup and mk 1 vee and the cup was faster to the ton but slower to 60, so the cup was indeed a few secs quicker 60-100. It is almost factual that the mk1 was a flawed diamond, but still looks great nonetheless...
Best plan for all people buying a new car is to insist that the dealer does NOT prep your car, indeed offer to pay them more if they leave it alone!
Naturally they wont take your money but it will shock them enough to remember not to attempt to f**k it up! Indeed if they say we can apply...
Sorry to hear that sjtb To be honest teh car should be okay if you click on teh below link something like a pc can get rid of the swirls quite easily without inducing any marring.
TBH I wouldnt let renault do it they will probbaly use something like a rotary buffer which in trained hands can...
^^NXT isnt renowned for its durability but properly applied it should last longer than a week! NXT is however the shiniest wax I have ever used!
If you want a wax that beads and beads and beads try meguiars #16 paste wax from the pro range, mail order only. Not as shiny as NXT but boy does...
Nothing wrong with wul it just strips wax, indeed the instructions for zaino, advise washing the car with dawn (US version of fairy) before applying a fresh coat of wax. As long as you apply fresh wax after using wshing up liquid it is not a problem!
You may need the assistance of one of these

Guys the paint cleaner and body scrub are both the same in terms of abrasivness they rate as a 4/10 on the meguiars scale. TBH you dont need both as they are in essence too similer.
Both products will polish your car and remove very minor scratches and minor swirls.
The polish (stage 2)...
Guys only use a sponge if you want swirl marks in your paint, and it seems a lot of you love swirl marks!

Another little tip guys is after you have waxed the car gently mist the surface with water or a quick detail spray and buff off this has 3 benefits
It increases the gloss
It removes any dusting
it means you wont miss any odd smears
PS do not do this with NXT wax from meguiars
Ordered it from autopia on Wednesday so expecting it very soon, I did say I woulnt on price grounds then I received a nice little cheque and then price grounds werent so important!! I will let you know how I get on, tbh not expecting much improvemt on current battery polishers for waxes/glazes...
Let us know how you get on with the AG polish, just bought some meguiars DACP myself........and maybe a pc to go with ithttp://www.cliosport.net/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif
Have you seen the turtle wax platinum range - silicone valley!!
In the same evo test benH mentions the RS driver clung onto the cup with gritted teeth and just about managed to stay with it on their country road blast.
Im sure though next time im on an ultra smooth runway that stretches out for miles ahead I wouldnt see which way the RS went;)
I can strongly recommend NXT wax but you have to use it properly for it work. PS on older paint/lighter coloured paint you dont get as good results
Thoroughly prepare car, wash, clay, paint cleaner (most important bit)
Apply a very very thin layer all over car and leave for half an hour...

take a look at this thread on seat cleaning http://shop.meguiars.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=910http://shop.meguiars.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=910

The maximum lifespan of a caranuba wax such as stage 3 is generally 4-6 weeks. A synthetic wax such as a paint sealant could last 10-12 weeks. Washing a car will degarde a wax layer though and from my own experience 3-4 washes will remove 1 layer of wax so I would very surprised if the...
Cheers but it wasnt just me so I may or may not have spelt tyre wrong;)
Personally I use wonder wheels etc, I know they are not recommended and I wouldnt recommend them myself but my wife curbs my wheels so often they need respraying every other week so the acidic cleaner doesnt reraly get a...
