    Protecting a satin finish

    Opaque is the way Gaz, pain in the arse as well fella. Even with the right products.

    Ok, so protection should be at the top of the wish list. Clay, yes. Good choice as well. Polish, forget the SRP. Look at a decent polish like Menz 203s. Even by hand this will have a profound effect on the paint work. On the Racing Blue I would be tempted by the Werkstat Carnauba kit...

    PTFE wax/polish is it any good??

    No, I meant what I said. It is only as good as the bonds that tie the product to the surface. The reason it has to be heat treated during application is actually to break the Hydrogen bonds, to then allow them to reform to the surface it is intended to bond to. So ner. xxxxxx

    PTFE wax/polish is it any good??

    Actually, that's not fair. You are right in that it needs a certain heat element to bond to surfaces, hence non-stick pans, but in this case it's not the point the wax manufacturers are getting at.

    PTFE wax/polish is it any good??

    That's not quite correct Kev (on the burned onto the surface part). The idea behind it is that the surface of the wax is "non-stick" and that part is true. It will help dirt and water to slide of as PTFE is very VERY unreactive (don't ask why, unless you want to bored shitless). But the fact...

    Paint or no Paint

    I sanded mine, wet sanded down the grades and managed a perfectly smooth finish. Then primered, wet sanded, painted, lacquered. If you take your time, there is no reason not to DIY it. Make sure the paint is the right colour. Halfords may not be the best option here, as said above, but I think...

    Spring Overhaul Part 1! *FRP Content*

    I agree as I looked yesterday during our emails. Interestingly the S3s are doing the same which makes me feel a little easier about spending the money I have on getting it right, suspension wise. Thing is now, speed is great but I think more noise is required. I just need to consult Gopher...
