Are you local Ant? Surely someone is? Even something like a strong sealant or wax, doesn't even have to be ceramic if a hobbyist is applying! Autoglym HD even. If the prep work is done properly it'll look great after a wash/dry and a QD.

If they've been done then where about is the massive question and a receipt to prove it. If not when is it required and how much is the car. Your budget is high if anything so you should end up with a cracking example. Research the "full fat" models, that's the one you want. Any colour in...

It's all from the cleansing. It strips so much dirt.

Heat gun/hair dryer and lightly heat and peel off. Then polish up offending area, ideally wipe down with ipa/panel wipe then refit.

You really need a compressor aswell to get them cleaned up properly. Hex offer easier working and just change pad and polish to suit. :)

195!

How much my sweet? Did you buy it off me?

Anyone have a used bottle of Z2 for sale? My one is running out but I don't use it much.

I'll link Dawn's recent C63 detail from DW.

Buy a pot of Swissvax Shield if you want a proper boutique wax like BOS.

Ben have you ever read one of my detailing threads for example? Just to give you an idea how much proper prep can change a colour.

Just no! Putting Desire over Bos isn't going to give him a shine!

You don't buy desire over BOS! Jesus H! The prep is where the shine begins. No offence Ben but you should have paid a detailer to protect it from new. Everytime you washed and waxed it it would look new. It need machined, decontaminated, clayed. Silver needs sooo much work to get the best...

I've missed you.

I went to Scarborough in my Uncle's one! Fun trips as a child! Buy an RS1600i.

Astra.

I would agree it would take a special driver to get the fun out of it. Sadly it felt a bit characterless just pootling about (I did press on but speed is difficult these days as mentioned). I do however prefer smaller nimble cars. The M3 is still a big car.

On the heavy steering, I agree but I liked it, felt proper opposed to the 197/200 light steering.

It didn't feel quick, i'm not saying it isn't a quick car, that would be silly. I have been out in some stupidly fast cars in the last 2 weeks or so, maybe it's had an affect on me. :o

Oh you still have it? Weren't you selling because you thought a child was the same size as a house?

Best thing I did was sell my 1st Frp to a foreign buyer. If I had seen it again I would have cried. Genuinely.

Exactly. The CQ is the base. Make sure it's CQUK he's applying mate. Forget finest imo on your car. Get him to top with reload then just wax when and if you want.

Oh Richard! What have you done!

Lovely little thing. Everytime I see those steering wheels I get angry! They f**king ruin everything good about those cars!!

Lol! <3

He better hope they do as the warranty expired in 2008.

They are superb in Black but they need the pre-facelift rear lights even more!

What a great story! Did he buy it as a little toy? The 265 was lorded over by journalists, Evo etc, so understandable that rich people would be attracted to it as a daily, fun car. I love it. The Megane RS has grown on me so much over the years.

Looks s**t, your Audi was so much cooler. You'll sell it about August/September when you're worried about the rain and RWD...
