Get to Combe on a raceday ...

lol @ the TBR strapline

I used the above method, it can be applied with a foam hand pad to.

Clean and scrub the tyre well to prepare it first with Meguiars APC. This missed stage is where most people go wrong as they skip it. To Dress, Blackfire Long Lasting Gel or Poorboys Bold and Bright depending on your budget. I apply both with a foam hand pad.

Just some soap and water be a damn good start lol!

Yeap same guy.

Not one I have used so can't comment on it Brun.

Scum. A new window from a local autoglass company fitted will be 40-50 quid.

197's have nice orange peely paint just like the 182's then. Some nice shots.

Also worth a read with claying tips from the last few days http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=275219

100 quid clay ? It is normally the waxes that cost lots of money not seen a clay bar that expensive! You can clay just using car shampoo and water or using a quick detail spray. If you don't buy any detailing spray mix 2 or 3 capfulls od car shampoo to 500 od ml of water in a spray bottle...

Don't get me wrong the initial look was good. THough the main selling point was it is meant to last too ? Something that would last 4 weeks between washes on the daily drive you be a bonus too. But yeah all about the looks baby ! Did not realise it cleaned as well.

I worry when you use clay Darren ;)

In most cases it is though esp with basecoat and Laquer :( Wet finger test works better for me. Wet your finger rub it across the scratch if it disapears it will normally polish out lol

lol Knowsit I only ever use QD to clay when working with Brazo ! ;)

Will see how it holds up this week for you.

I was always under the impression it was a good way of saving weight higher up in the car in the same way a carbon roof was usefull?

Did you manage to remove all the fallout ?

I was sure you had posted them before then dates on them confirmed it !

Exterior ones won't matter. It is only anything internally on the glass.

If you leave them on they will bed seal under the tint film, providing you are sure you always want to keep them on they can be left.

I used Megs #16 Pre the Zymols so the 476's should be fine.

I use Zymol Titanium on mine at the same time as I wax the glass with it and it works fine. The Polished Bliss guys say they Zymol Carbon on the textured trim as well but I have not risked it. Plastics - Hungry ?

Finish is still nice be it flat compared to how it started. No water marks in either. I would not use either on the window seals or surrounds anyway though. Clearkote Vanilla Moose on them to clean then Wax.

First shot is cool - hope you showed the GTi 6's a clean pair of heels ;)

It is still nice and black, but the sheen it had on application has not lasted.

Drove mine for the first time since September yesterday - I enjoyed it lol

Yeap initial 'wow' has gone the better looks did not last long, aside from the more even look to it you would not see the difference in the two now. Time will tell how long it will last. Car is due a wash next weekend as well (wash it once a month lo) so that will also be a test.

Non sunroof is only popular for those looking for a track day car - does not command a premium in any other way.
