Sorry Freebone but youve been beaten to it mate! http://autopia-carcare.com/acp-20030.htmlhttp://autopia-carcare.com/acp-20030.html

Magnetic strips?

What EVO magazine said about the pair was very good something like The mk2 looks great and is the epitomy of an all round sports car, the mk 1 just looks great! However Im sure if you drop coilovers into the mk1 then the playing field will somewhat level.

Same thing mate, its just using a series of coarse or medium and then fine abrasive to cut away an ultra thin layer of clearcoat and leave you with a swirl free finish. The pc is just safer in the hands of the home enthusiast than a rotary polisher that a bodyshop would use. NB I personally...

For all those concerned about paint removal you can see from this thread that 2 passes of DACP (6/10 Agressive compound) did not remove enough material to register a drop on the electronic paint thickness measure. ALthough all surafces scratches were removed...

How much lighter is a carbon bonnet over std? Or is it just styling?

By compound they mean a cutting compound (aggressive polish) so they are right, however £400 seems somewhat steep, £100 would be more realistic Am afraid Im too far away! [Edited by brazo on 23 May 2005 at 10:15am]

R-Jay #82 contains zero fillers as far as I know, this is why I i wanted to use it, it worked great with the pc at light swirl removal. Souveran - do you think Im made of money ;-)

The zymol cleaner wax is actually made by turtle wax! Still it did look good on your wheels. I would keep with the #16 Day, order some from Alex at Serious Performance

^^LOL!

NXT .....Hmmmmm, this is still billed as meguiars best protecting wax. People have split opinions, it is actually classed as a paint sealant and if allowed to set up properly i.e. its polymers cross link 24 hours after application - if kept dry then it can prove to be durable, however many...

Zymol wax is made from the carnabua plant as are most premium waxes, all carnabuba waxes look great but due to their relativly low melting point durability isnt their strong point. As an absolute average the coating carnuba wax will half after 30 days and will be at almost nothing after 90...

The cup was 3mm lower but of course the dampers were stiffer (with the springs being the same) so the cars looked the same height or higher!

Day post that pic of the clay! Do you have any more split shots as the one above looks a tad overexposed?

yes you can, they will use a rotary though which is more effective than a pc at this sort of stuff but can induce marks if not used correctly, the pc is the safe home enthusiast choice some more before pics http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/Brazoo/IMG_1857.jpg...

BTW I sold Day a meguirs ultra plush wash mitt so that he wont need to do this again in a hurry! Day please read the how to care for your clios paintwork thread;)

Good pics there Day! Concerning the topic of paint removal every effort was made to remove as little as possible, as you can see from the before pics the paint was right royally f**ked anyway so it really was a case of a one off restore. I have read some US threads on paint removal using the...

You can beat whoever cant drive, yesterday I owned an evo in the twisties as the guy couldnt drive for sh*t, any other driver and I would have had my arse kicked lol! An RS clio is not a car to be taken lightly, however as most races occur in straight lines, many a car could rape its ass!

Im not too far in Swindon, watch this space http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/Brazoo/IMG_1857.jpg

R-Jay you ever used vm and then straight to #16 on black?

I also use #16 on a 4 inch pad though on my cordless jobbie, would never do the whole car though as a pita to remove, I find using the 4 inch pad makes a little go a long way for a really thin layer
