Yeah all about the practice Chris, great pieces of kit. I actually ended up buying a panel off ebay that was in s**t condition and practiced with different pads and compounds before using them on the car, worked a treat, just washed it with gritty water and a sponge to get the swirls back again...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Just what I was about to say, pick up a cheap talex lite up from Ebay/ASDA. GPS speedo FTbricktecW!

I wish. "Dad, there is this site called Underground Racing . . . erm. . . fancy using the '8 as a test car?"

I think that WTF BBQ applies here.

^^^Good lad Richy. To be fair, they way I look at it, due to time limits my car is fully waxed and so only requires a snow foam and drive off at the moment. So no money spent on Megs shampoo or Megs no:16.

LIke wise Si. Bought the Superspray as well for my father, but find due to the lack of pressure around us that it had basically no effect on the snow foam and didn't create much "foam". However, when used with a decent water pressure, they are a superb (and quite cheap) option to a Karcher and...

^^^FLOL!!! Genius comment!

Mine is in the lower grill of my front bumper, but it has an RS front to it, sorry!

Great little guides these (Stephen?). Good to have some updates on Rich's original. Will PM the mods to get these sorted as stickies/guides. Would you mind the claying and the one above being amalgamated into one/another guide? Jamie

Gorgeous colour! Nice engine to boot!

Even better if you have a boiler close by ;)

Is that still in the guides section? I thought it had been lost!!

Very good, couple of additions; There are many types of clay bars that are more or less cutting, much like polishes. If your paint work is sealed and waxed properly, you should not need to do this procedure more than once a year. Clay bars, regardless of how harsh, will always cause more...

Claying is wonderful at removing tar spots, over spray, tree sap and other such contaminents, so is far from gimmicky. However, as stated, it is purely dependant on the car and paintwork. I haven't clayed mine properly for a long long time because it doesn't require it.

Hadn't noticed this either . . . interesting, but then again, I put my lights on every time I drive as a habit (father and grandfather do/did it).

I will agree that you have a superior package Daniel, nothing less, nothing more ;) /Homo

I love Iphones, they rule over all /sheep

Starting to grow on me, but only because it is all that is posted up in other marques now!!

Claying is designed to remove surface contaminents. Mine doesn't build up due to protection and washing . . . so yes I go pretty much straight into polishing. You cannot remove the vast majority of swirls using your hands mate, it is not worth the time and hassel to do so. If you could why...

New un, brand spanker, se or something, god knows, hate it!

I wouldn't advise sniffing the sealents, but you still do ;)

The adding people's facebook links to contacts is quite cool!

Nissan Micra . . . but haven't been out in it. And there is no "yet" in that sentence either.

Yeah that seems to be the only things that I have found as well . . .

WTF is that?? It looks alive/borg-esque!

OK, let's just clear this up. You stated claying is a must. This is incorrect. You do all stages of polishing as needed, not just as an all in package, regardless of paint condition. Hand glazing will not remove swirls. SRP will do a better job by hand, but will never be a touch on machine...

Some people have, not sure whether it looks good or bad. If you dewipered the back then it might look OK.

So what's new with this then? Phone just downloaded it (BB Storm 9500) and is currently rebooting.

I have about 20 of them (stock at halfrauds put them down to bugger all in price) Most have been used for the last two years and are still fine, the tyre gels ones are getting shagged, but that is strong useage!

If you are not fussed, go into halfords as they sell decent enough pads for wax and sealent application and I can't remember them being that expensive. Jamie
