Not liking the gold one bit . . . but the quality of work appears to be just incredible. Great dedication lad, really impressivo!! Also, where is that carbon fibre? I can't work out which part of the car that is!!
Edit; roof, just got that the glass is the sun roof lol! Thought it might be the...
Ha, sad lad ;)
The EGP I find gives great results, but I swear I end up using far too much of it, therefore looking for a spray. I guess I could get a spray bottle though . . . hadn't though about that!
I personally use the following;
Light marks - SRP on sfx pad (non cut, can never remember which way round it is 1-3)
Swirling - Menzerna Intensive Polish on sfx pad
Sometimes I use the Menzerna Final Finish, but find SRP is just the same and I have a lot of that!!
Seal using EGP, wax using...
It is incredible how much difference they can make. I remember doing Russ@gasperformance's car (not sure why that has tried to create a link). The reflections were astronomical, not trying to blow my own trumpet!
The other thing, is that it cuts down your "I think I'll give it a quick polish"...
There is a good guide in the guides section, for getting a PC frmo america. There is also a good guide to detailing that Rich had written up.
Re machine polishing, easy does it is the key. The best option is to use the most non abrasive polish and pad first time round. You are very unlikely to...
AS above, people seem to be raving about Bilberry Wheel Cleaner at the moment.

Once the wheels are clean, I would suggest taking them off, claying them, polishing them with Super Resin Polish (SRP) and then sealing...
You shouldn't really wax lights should you? I was told be a fairly reliable source that the waxes would react to the light/temps . . . ? Could be wrong!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Sorry lad, no, I meant Jords (KAM racing can't get the top mounts until they are delivered from Powerstation, hence the wait).
Even better and exactly what I was about to write. They cans are not that expensive either, in fact, probably the same amount as a standard bottle of interior shampoo!
Ice, keep it on the patch for as long as possible. It makes it quite hard and is easier to then pick off.
Just treating it the same as if you get it on clothing to be honest. I know there is a substance that actually breaks it down now as well, again for cleaning clothes, but not sure I would...
On the Vee? What the hell/Where the hell have you been driving??
Trying to think. Last time I used APC, time before that was somethign stronger but I can't remember what . . . damn it.
