No joke buddy, I meant about the longevity of the product. I know it's good on bodywork, but wasn't sure on them withstanding the heat as well as something like Blackfire Metal Sealant or PB WS.
Get those changed! I thought Andy had H&Rs on there?
With the amount of correction required, definitely a rotary!
Interesting that the paint was so hard Jim... I had a DB7 (granted a Y reg so quite a lot older) and the paint was very soft. I swapped to the DA purely for ease as it had enough cut! I'll drag out some photos...
Stinks to high heaven, but a decent enough suggestion. I would suggest just a very diluted APC Justin lad. Something like the Megs APC, or cheapo Daisy. Test it first on an inconspicuous area to make sure it's colour fast (it will be), then go at it with a medium brush. Then wipe with a wet MF...
Gutted for you Elliot mate. As Steve@R has said, definitely going to need a respray. You could do a lot to hide the marks but the corner, bumper/wing needs pulling and a repaint :(
You need to make sure the car is devoid of any Tardis before you clay buddy. The "non-slip" feeling you're getting is what I first experienced with Tardis vs clay. It basically melts the clay on contact!
A quick wash, spray down or decent wipe over and the area will be fine to clay after Tardis.
Not boring in the slightest, unsprung weight reduction is a good thing!
I personally wouldn't, purely as a car like that would not require modifying in my mind. Granted the Mountune kits and brakes are a great upgrade, but I think "showy" wheels start you down another road. Looks over...
And all purpose cleaner and degreaser is likely to be your best bet. But you need to find a small area on the belt to try it for colour fast...ness.
The best bet is to open the car door and pull the seat belt out, allowing access for it to be rinsed and dried more easily.
Turbo Quattro buddy :)
I disagree - I still think you will drive it exactly the same as before. Sometimes you'll raz about, other times you'll sit at 65 watching the MPG go up on the DIS. The only difference is when you boot it, you'll have more power...
