aka Ph-Ugly What they like to call the Phase 1 172 on here

Nice work.

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/ will have all those and do discount if you use Cliosport. Tim also does the Menzerna in two sizes. John at C&S also sells the above but only does the Menz in the big sizes http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ not sure who works out cheaper.

New ones on the back, understeer is easier to control than oversteer. http://www.michelin.co.uk/uk/auto/auto_cons_bib_pqr_neuf.jsp

Get them wheel arches cleaned Daz! Looks good -Love this pic

3mm on the 182 so fook all!

Drill spins far to fast IMO - you wont find many people recommending it. I have seen it used to address individual scratches and defects but not a whole car in place of a proper machine polisher.

I have never had to send them proof either, phone up give them the quote they knock around tenner off, I make sure the insurer is not someone like Highway - job done.

Prices vary hugely - £40-50 quid for someone starting out wanting some cash up to £200 plus .

As above the Sonus Green does bugger all on real world contamination. I find the Consumer Megs one the best all rounder tbh.

I have the early version of the Speed Wipe, streaks like fook, glad to see they reformulated it !

The Poorboys are by far the easist to master, the gloss and finish the Menzerna Final Finishes get surpasses that of them though.

Overuse ;)

The Megs Pads seem better suited to Rotary use. On my own car mostly DAS pads. Most other jobs Sonus SFX Cutting, polishing and finishing pads, Menzerna Polishing Pads and Lake Country Glazing Pads.

SRP is very very mild so will do little in the way of defect correction. Working by hand the best alternative to the T Cut is Meguiars Scratch X or the Carlack 68 Scratch and Swirl Remover Paste. Machine use any of the Poorboys, Megs Pro Line Polishes or Menzerna range.

It is an old fashioned abrasive product and the game has moved on now. It cuts the same strength whether just applied or worked for 10 mins, it always has a strong cut meaning it installs very fine swirls taking out bigger defects. New modern day polishes contain diminishing abrasives meaning...

I would try something like Autoglym Super Resin Polish first, chances are it will need something more akin to Meguiars Scratch X if working by hand and some real elbow grease. I hate T Cut so would say no to that. Depending on the depth of the etching it may need a machine polish to sort it.

As long as it is all in stock yes.

As you want Sonus bits I would get them from here - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/ Remember Tim does CS Discount I would get: Sonus Wash Mitt Sonus Green or Grey Clay depending on paint condition Sonus Towels Swissvax Onyx Wax

You don't really want to start off the the best cutting compound on a cutting pad. Start mild and build up to harsh compounds and pads if you need them. I would look into the Menzerna Final Finish(s) on Polishing pads stepping up to Menzerna Intensive Polish on a cutting pad if needed.

Bird shite etching is a nightmare on modern water based paints, have you tried to remove the etching with any sort of polish yet ?

A QD Spray will add to the gloss. Not sure I would use it on 2 days worth of dust though.

The seating position is poor as it is. I am over 6 foot and it is ok on long Journeys, my 306 is a lot more comfy in the legroom department.

Autoglym Interior Cleaner or Autoglym Interior Foam would be my first choice.

Whatever quotes you do get Flux will beat them anyway when you phone back to say you want be renewing.

Not really one will dry a Clio sized car, having spare is always useful incase you drop it or something

Thats the one - they are meant to be sold in a Pack of two though http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/microfibre-cloths/sonus-der-wunder-drying-towel-pkg/2/prod_84.html

I use the Sonus Der Wunder Drying ones.

For sure :(

I use warm water in winter or when it is cold just to keep my hands warm lol! Summer months I just use cold water.
