Spray bottle is for the EGP not the SRP. Microfibers really will help much with the dust problem though, that is only caused by two things, to much product being applied or not working it long enough.

Put some EGP in a spray bottle, one spritz on a foam hand pad is easily enough to do a a normal sized panel. That should help you get it thinner.

The real advantage to using SRP is it gives a good base for sealants to bond to - of the shelf for most people it is a great product IMO. As a one step product for cleaning up paint by machine or hand aswell as laying down some protection of it's own SRP is spot on. If you want to do any form...

Yeah it is 5% I get my pads from Time at CYC aswell these days the Menzerana Polishing pads are superb.

What are you using to apply the SRP and how long you working it for ? Applied with a foam pad and worked until it is nearly gone and so you can hardly see any excess of it left on the paint and you should get no dusting. The dust comes when you leave excess product sat on the paint.

A normal Lee car show thread, you where not lying about the quantity yesterday then!

I only saw it parked up when he was putting the slicks on, never saw it run though.

Thread from a day or so ago. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=258435 Other additions to it, direction, go in a back and forward motion you are happy with. Once you have clayed all the paintwork, then clay the glass, lights and finally the wheels to get the most out of the clay.

The SRP - Can use it on either pad, as you say you will get a touch more correction by polishing pad, but due to the mildness of it not much. By rotary you can do some decent correction with a polishing pad, needing a cutting pad for heavier defects. You will really need some decent polishes to...

Looks spot on Steve. Very nice.

Cleaned it on arrival was covered in dust before I had finished so gave up lol I don't remember much sun but I am red !

They come in the correct colour, and where about 8 quid when I got one. Sorry 9.87 plus VAT - 8200360330 if I am looking at the right invoice.

Was dirty all day, bloody dust !

Cheers to all that sorted our stand - goody bag was a nice addition, it did need those sweets in it tho Brian ;) Sorry to Matt's G/f for us being a pain and waking you up so we could escape. I did not take one picture !

Most people get a better backing plate http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polishing-accessories/cat_15.html I would get Meguiars Pads Mark (Brazo) uses them by rotary - for it you will need at least Polishing and Finishing Grades and depending on what jobs you take on Cutting as well...

I use the clay route here.

Indeed, don't use the Cleaner Wax after EGP as it will remove it.

Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection

Argh right yeah EGP will struggle to bond well over the Cleaner Wax. AG say to use it over SRP which is a polish not a wax. As your pics show it looks good, you just wont see the 2-3 months protection the EGP can produce over a better base.

Yeap thats correct. So you Washed, clayed, polished (SRP) then Sealed with EGP'd No waxing done then !

Not really, apply, remove after 30-60 mins then allow to set up properly for at least 12-24 hours - add the wax following weekend if need be after the first wash or something. I was told AG had amended the labels now recommended the above.

Yeap. Nope - just my old 306 and 205, though need him to sort a few factory imperfections on the 182 at some point

I s**t myself when my guy uses his hot glue gun stuff on Paint, I would be in A and E if someone took a blow torch near my paint!

You should wait 12-24 hours after using the Extra Gloss Sealant before you add the wax ontop to allow you to get the best out of the Sealant durability wise.

I was getting an early night lol. See you there - looking forward to my cross Cotswolds run.

I like cleaning and would never buy one again ...

Nice work - looks good, Got to love Flame, best 172 colour. EGP wont last long after wax as it will not bond well. Also don't agree with the impossible to scratch thing - but done correctly there should be no reason it inflict any major marring.

I spray onto the belt with the foaming sprayer aswell and then scrub with a MF.

Looks superb - RB needs stripes.

I would not use medium pressure, you only need enough pressure to keep the bar on the paintwork. Use plenty of lube and ensure the clay is soft and keep giving it a knead to get a fresh side. Cut the bar into two of three pieces so if you drop it you don't have to through the whole bar away.
