At your stage Joe reliability and looks are what's important. Your one is about perfect driveability wise. Greg tried to sell his a week after he achieved maximum status with the car and probably realised 100k (slight exaggeration) on a Focus wasn't that clever. Mr Simpson also said he'd never...

Lols! Was Baxter the dog?

Heavy is to do the correcting and the light is too refine the finish after correcting, the light stage isn't for fixing swirls so to speak. Be careful though, can't be too sure on how much correction you can carry out, lacquer will fail eventually.

I've just finished a bottle of Gyeon that I was sent to trial after finishing my last IX, I go through a lot of it and although good I can't find anything that is close to IX. It's funny, a lot of detailing products can be very similar as you know but all the iron removers are different, they...

A small email to them would no doubt sort you out Dave!

Shop n shine have Britemax Vantage for £30 again if anyone was interested. Very impressive wax and in a different pot we'd be calling it a boutique wax.

I've bought 2 cars from them over the years to sell on. They've had some serious Evos through their garage over the years.

Christopher bought one. Big no for me.

I'm not going to lie, I lolled a little at the sheer explosion of shrapnel.

He charged the other guy 4k and he's charging you 550?

Just go into Wilkos or similar bargain store and get a big container with folding lid. They're like £6 or so. I've had 3 of them for years and not one has failed. The PW obviously you would keep in the box and store in the car.

Did you see some of the wiring in it? Wasn't it shocking?

215!

Have you had all the remedial work carried out? Ie it's no longer a fire hazard?

http://www.unique-detail.co.uk He's CarPro approved and they don't let just anyone get their approval either. He has plenty of examples in DW of his work.

The better weather breeds motivation. Leave it with me for a few days. I'll sort it out I told you. ;)

I didn't think SRP had silicon in it. My boss has used it before and he's usually very careful. I don't think Tripple has but could be wrong. Quick email to AF in order or ask on DW.

4th pic is awesome. It's what the car is all about. If it doesn't rot away they'll be a classic like any other RS.

Glinton cleaner is one of the best. Ignore mils and conditioners all leather needs is cleaned. If you're protecting it use a new leather guard not a conditioner. Lots of really good cleaners out there. LTT are probably the industries best leather carers but plenty of automotive alternatives.

I didn't think I'd even like them but I love it!

The ipa or double wipe down is imperitive if you're using a ceramic sealant like C1, Exo, Cquartz etc. Or Canocoat/Reload/C2v3. The last 3 can be used over glazes etc but if the paint is spot on you won't need a glaze or similar so IPA to give the best possible base.

Wash Wheel etc Tardis properly Wash Clay Rinse De-iron Rinse or re snowfoam etc Dry Mask Polish Ipa all over LSP

SRP imo, it also has light abrasives so will leave a better finish on worse paint.

Your car is Spirit Blue, same as the ST Matt. It looks different at times due to the shape.

Excellent stuff. Definitely don't envy that task!

How you doing the wheels Dan? Paint them then diamond cut?

You've definitely been drinking.

On the door skin point. We made a decision a few years after I started estimating not to fit doorskins anymore, it ends up causing more issues for all parties! After the first few times of arguing with different work providers they eventually realise we're not interested in saving them money...

It went full circle Dan. We had panel beaters then we had fitters through the 00s (me being one of them to a point) now we want panel beaters again as we want to repair everything as it benefits the Bodyshop the insurance and in a lot of cases the customer.

Yup years ago I ruined a Claybar by rinsing and not washing.
