I used the AG high def wax for the first time today . I also used my new Collinite #925 boatwax and #885 fleetwax .
Over all impressions . Both the Collinites were easier to apply and remove especially the #925 . Looks wise , there isn't any difference between the 3 . Durablity , time will...
I had an apollo on my 182 , it strangled the engine . I'm now running a green cotton cone filter inside a custom airbox , sounds very throaty when givin it the beans and defintely pulls just as well as the standard air filter
Now now children ;)
Try jewellers rouge . It's what we used to use at work to polish scratches out of glass .

Personally i always get my paint mixed up at a local motor body shop suppliers . I just said Halfords in case you just want some off the shelf stuff . Nothing wrong with Halfords primer imo .
Why did you have to redo the job ? Bad colour match ?? The key to a good job is keeping it clean ...
I don't know what alarm you've bought , if it's Thatcham approved ? If it is you'll need an approved installer for that make of alarm for your insurance company to recognise its Thatcham rating .
If it's not Thatcham approved just use a local auto electrician .Try yell.com .
Personally i'd always have an alarm fitted just for my own piece of mind , even though most people ignore them .
Plus when i had my first import i got a £60 refund after i had my Toad alarm fitted .
^^^ Thats true . I always get asked if i have an alarm fitted . If needs be i send them a copy of the Thatcham Cat 1 certificate .
Don't worry about it being an import mate . It's the same car , worth the same when you come to sell it . It's out of it's warranty so just enjoy the car :)
Your oval plate is down towards the bottom of your b pillar . This is mine , my colour code is j41 for arctic blue .

Fcukin hell mate . Thats a big increase :eek: Weren't you offered a speed awareness course instead of the 3 points ? 33 mph isn't much over the limit .
Tbh i've never used Halfords to have my paint mixed , i always use a local motor accessory suppliers . The match has always been spot on and they are usually cheaper than Halfords .
I think there's more to it than a slightly thicker ARB why the 182 handles better than the 172 imo . I think the wider track and wider , better ( exaltos ) tyres have a fair bit to play in why it handles better .

Polish ! With what should she polish her bonnet ? If you read the original post she's already washed the bird sh1t off and it " has " marked her bonnet . It doesn't take long for anything acidic like bird sh1t to etch into the paint .
I wouldn't exactly call scratch x expensive at 8 pound...
Could do , but there are alot better products than t cut tbh , like the 2 i mentioned . If you already have some t cut give it a try , nothing to lose really .
Carlack 68 or scratch X " might " remove it . Sounds like it's etched into the lacquer . Failing that your gonna be looking at machine polishing . Bird crap can be very acidic depending on what its eaten .
