Be careful with he SSR 3, PC does not have the power to break it down properly.
Clay I go for the Consumer Megs Clay or Sonus Green. As long as they are mild they are all much of a muchness made in the same factory.
Wax depends on Budget - Chemical Guys 50/50 - Under £25, my actual choice @...
No need to polish every week to be honest. I tend to get the layers of sealant on over a few weeks, 2-3 layers of EGP are ideal, then wash and QD and add wax as needed weekly.
Only Polish and Seal once every 3 - 6 months.
Wipe on and wipe off straight away..
On white I doubt you will notice much difference in looks over the EGP alone, compared to the effect it will have on dark colours. Most of the shine and looks are created in the polishing stage this is where to concentrate to take things up a notch.
Not quite - despite what they say you can damage paint with one, still needs to be used with care.
It is a machine polisher - but as it is random orbital in its motion (spins and ocillates) it is not a rotary.
Check the painted parts first, if they feel gritty clay them. Hand in a plastic bag after washing - will allow you to feel any contaminents on the paint
I read they have reformulated the Scratch X for machine use, the old one used to gum up.
SRP works lovely by machine, but wont correct any real defects. Used on a polishing or finishing pad depending what cleaning power you do want it to have will leave a lovely finish for the EGP when used by...
Longer than you would think My old 309 and 205 GTi's used to take 10-15 mins after getting the coolant up to temp for the oil temp to come up. I normalyl give the 182 another 5 mins after getting the water temp up before giving it the full beans.
You know me to well ;)
Have been using a mates 306 Rallye all weekend as he needed to get both his cars to the event so was not in mine this year. Have taken it up the hill the last past two years.
Would probably be a pain, I pc'd the spokes of a 182 wheel to correct some defects and it was sort of possible. Unfortunately the lacquer was very thin and I ended up going through trying to correct the scratch.
Which is £99 minus the discount the 182_Blue can get with his code, will be here in 3 odd days even from the sates, plus a transformer and some polish you will be all up and going for under 200 quid, do a few cars for mates etc and it will pay for itself and your two Black cars will be sorted...
