^^ A, less of that boyo!!
i was guna ask him what paint he used, how many coats, how easy they are to clean back to silver due to the brake dust etc etc!!!!
cheers mate. got my main bulk (£50ish) from '4wheelplay' - mega cheap, did a bulk purchase discount, all of it came in 2 days. spot on!!!
got some EGP off ebay last night for £6.55 :D
havent bought the silvatecs yet, just thought the silvervisions still looked a bit orange, and the silvatecs were completely silver!
not too sure about going for a striking colour like yellow or blue etc, reali like silver, but wonder if it will a close colour match to the silver of the...
has anyone got any pics of a monaco 172 with standard alloys and black calipers.
on holiday from half 4 today for 2 weeks (cannot wait!!!!!!! :D ) and am guna be fitting silvatecs, painting calipers and SRP, EGP and aqua waxing (if i can fit 3 washes in :S )

tbh if i'd spent that long detailing a car, i'd be abit sceptical of driving it.
i spose he's added as much protection to it as possible, but would be a shame if a local chav (i mean intellectual and social r****d) came anywhere near it. - wonder if he keeps a shotgun under the seat!???
a friend told me their starting to ask for proof as people are asking for a cash value, the store says a price and they the member of the public just says CeX are doing it a pound better.
Completely agree with cookson, although i cant see them docking the guys wages. They will have to stand by him and say it was an accident, even if they do b*llock him behind the scenes.
I also dont think they will give you a sport as a courtesey car, but by all means try!
pretty sh1tty...
just took me 15 mins to fully comprehend the 1st page (didnt realise there was 11 pages)
i think theres taking it too far. i like to think i keep cars clean (and have a repuation for it), but that imho is pathetic!
maybe i havent read the thread properly (and havent finished it yet) but...
so SRP one panel then gloss it.
or wash the whole car, dry the whole car, srp the whole car, and gloss the whole car????
then next time i wash it, wash then aquawax.
(ooooooooooooooooo post #172 =D -carpe diem- )
so to get this straight (as I have the same products and save starting a new thread)
--------------------------
wash the car
dry the car
polish one panel with SRP and then immediately aqua wax the same panel
repeat over whole car.
--------------------------
cheers guys!
i might join you in your 'smooth blue' calipers, or maybe silver.......???
how much paint did you use for the whole job - will one 750ml tin be enough yeah??
