Soap and water will be fine if you seal them well before they go on. Wonder Wheels dulls the finish. You will be safe with a non acid based cleaner such as AG Engine and Machine cleaner on them.

If you have the space for them all where is the problem, know that I would have a few more cars if I had somewhere to keep them

Superb one of my fave 182's on here - I want it!

Very true, they know how to keep there bonnet catches looking good though ;)

Start selling it on here so people can DIY maybe a good earner...

I will be using this http://www.protectall.com/qelg.htm Followed by a QD all will be good - I hope !

lol Awesome !

Good colour choice - enjoy!

Will work, just needs using with care, will still leave in the annoying marks it induces though.

Cleaner was is not that great. The Gold Glass Wash is ok. The above Michael lists is a good starter kit, add a nice carnuba wax to add top the looks after the EGP and some things for the black trim, glass and tyres and you will be fairly sorted exterior wise.

Will come back looking worse ;)

P21s in a Carnuba wax - looks good but is not very durable. Use the Autoglym Extra Gloss after the Super Resin and then the P21s. http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=9100

A said Megs All Purpose Cleaner or Autoglym Interior Shampoo. Though a few on here that are really grubby - like Maz ;) are having trouble.

Claying removes stuck on things washing alone wont. It works by shearing off things stuck to the surface of the paint. It does not polish or cut paint like a compound or cutting polish will. Also despite thread on here it will not make you car shiny - just makes it clean and smooth!

Depends on the colour, mine was swirled to hell from new (rotary marks so from the factory), and there are still deep marks in it today from the dealers wash/prep.

Depends how dirty your car gets on the way. I will probably just wash my wheels at the show and hoping get away with QDing the paintwork. Though anymore than light dust I will be washing the car there.

Worth a post over on Detailing World to find someone to help in your area. If the bodyshop overspray clay is not working a wet flat and polish maybe needed.

If your car has clearcoat and swirls they will be in the clearcoat, so in theory it will remove them there is no reason why T Cut can not be used on lacquer. As said if the paint is faded on a clearcoat finish, it can not be restored as single stage paint can be. Though the fact it is lacquered...

Drop Brazo on here a PM, he maybe able to help but not sure due to the short notice.

Due to the weather that is how long the clio has taken for the FCS prep. Will do a write up in the next few days when I finish it. Time wise working solid it can easily take 3 days to do do a show prep on a car. Here is a thread from when I last did a big clean up on the clio which took a...

It is an old fashioned abrasive, akin to t-cut in the way it works i.e always has at the same level of cut be it just applied or when worked, it never breaks down into a finishing polish like Scratch X would. Use with car I went through clearcoat using it by hand on an old car of mine. Also be...

Takes me months lol!

I guess the turbo is there just to make it go. Must weigh about 3 tonnes no way a 1.2 engine alone could make it move.

Only the Clio badge on the rear has pins and holes behind it. Renault Sport are just stuck on.

Did you fit a turbo Gixxer thou in it ? R1 Conversion ? Hyabusa lump ?

Hope thats right :)

lol the guilt got he better of you - shame it rained again though.

With the headunit out you can feed the cable into the glove box easily. I ran mine through the whole for the latch or you can remove the glovebox light and fed it through there. No need to remove anything bar the h/unit.

So you stood in the pictures instead! :clown:

4800 miles and already looking like!
