BHP - 333 0-60 - 3 Sec Mods - GGR Conversion Edit it is just a bog standard 182 really

They where not a highly polished finish from new, good old bit of metal polish works a treat. I wear microfiber socks before driving mine.

Agreed but ideally the thinner you can get it the better. CMW is one of the sticker thicker ones and does not spread as easily or thinnly as some of them.

I polished a set on an old XK Jag once - never again

Are they actual chrome or do they have some clearcoat on them ? Either way as long as you only use a mild abrasive to polish them you will be fine. Autoglym Super Resin and Extra Gloss and then top with a cleaner free wheel sealant like Poorboys or Swissvax Wheel Sealants.

Lots of product is not the key lol ! Nice thin coats, anything you remove is excess wasted product.

If you have got tine mail order some http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/car-lack-68-hand-polish-kit/prod_359.html If not try Meguiars Scratch or AG Paint Renovater, both for sale in Halfords, go very careful with the later!

Depends how deep the scratch is as to if it will polish out. :(

Does Petrol Blue have a different colour primer ?

Was the Mini not in the test ? I thought that it was the closest rival to the 197 ?

GG would never rebrand, he is very dedicated to developing his own products, look at the hair re-growth products....

Same product from the results I have seen, just seemed to aquire various bottles over time lol

Not bothered with the Prime as I have loads of Carlack 68 and Klasse AIO. But the Strong version is meant to be good. I have both the JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic Glos and JEFFS Werkstatt Carnauba Glos QD's but neither are that special. Not bothered with anything else.

I find the Poorboys SSR range work well, the Menzerna takes it up another level. As for Pads, which ever brand you go for you will need the Cutting, Polishing and Finishing pads. I still have pretty much stuck to the same pads since having my DA, as some pads seem to work better by it, others...

Not really just so much easier to use. Imagine EGP in a spray form, wipe on and wipe of like a quick detail spray, no cure times or waiting between layers. I can do 3 layers of it in the time it takes to apply and remove one of EGP...

This is why Jeffs AJT is such a good replacement to it !

Updated to the new itunes and updated the firmware on the touch earlier. Won't be buying the £12.99 apps as I will wait till I can jailbreak my phone to 1.1.3 and get them on there.

Minimum of 30 mins at least for the EGP, I tend to leave it for an hour if I can, also using it on a damp day is a mistake. Yeap that is Megs #16.

The one that comes with the SFX kit is 6 inch and too big for the Menz pads. The smaller backing plate that comes with the DAS pad fits it.

I use either the Sonus DAS, SFX or slighty smaller Menzerna ones depending on the task. All can be purchased here http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/

pmsl I concur, still will help them find him when he turns into a big snowball on the slopes.

Agreed ! lol

You will not really notice the individual differences so much on Silver Paint like you will notice on dark colours. On my silver car I use AG SRP and Jeffs Acrylic Jett Sealant topped with either: P21s Zymol Titanium Meguiars #16 Cant see any difference in looks but the later 2 provide much...

Daily drive does 1 -2 K a month at least. As said in my post, pressure wash first, degrease and then rinse again. Then use the mitt and shampoo as normal on them.

They will have the Autoglym Products, you would need to mail order the Megs.

Doubt it I have a wheel arch use mitt I have had for a good 6 months ....

Jet wash then Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner or Meguiars Super Degreaser, agitate, allow to dwell for a while and jet wash again. Re-apply the degreasers and use a sponge or mitt to get the stubborn bits. AG Tar Remover may be handy for trouble spots.

Should have been the Free option just like Racing Blue.

Blue and Green should never be seen.

A blob of silicone will be fine.
