Yeah has connections to attach it to a standard hose, but I just fill a watering can to save using excess.

Standard ones the later cars IIRC. Same ones as the Trophy got.

It is but they will be some elbow grease.

Using one on the 182. Apart from the a few odd drops of water to wipe there is no need to dry the bodywork at all, bar drying the shuts etc. Even in bright sunlight on black it will dry spot free. Sheet the water off and nothing more than a breif wipe with a soft MF is needed. No need to dry...

VM contains some wax but not enough to use it standalone without a proper carnuba wax over the top.

If it is that rough even a machine polish wont sort it out. A light wet sand will be the only way, add a couple of extra coats of laquer first if your worried.

Depends how many stages the machine polsih involves and time taken. £200 upwards is a typical rate for a proper machine polish / Defect correction and swirl removal, there is much more to it being done properly than a once over with some G3 for an hour or so. I would be asking exactly what...

Any one that is going to by rotarying you car on a decent Pro level should have a paint thickness gauge anyway to take some readings before they start.

Oil and filter change on return and you should be fine. I have read about putting a drop of oil down the plug holes if it has been stood for along time aswell.

You can use the P21s over the SRP and EGP if you want more durablility. For out and out looks, though very poor durability the Glaze adds lots of wetness and gloss to the paint. You can use the SRP before it, then after the VM use the P21s so just ditching the EGP as it wont bond. Wash, Clay...

I used to use Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze and P21s wax on my old light Blue car. Interior Plastics - Poorboys Natural Look leaves a clean and fresh factory matte look without gloss or stickyness.

Would not use SRP on new unbaked paint. The Scratch X should sort it. If it is really rough a wet sand with some very fine wet and dry may be an idea.

Be fine stood for 6 months, starting it and not getting up to temp will be worse than leaving it stood. Only thing I would worry about would be flat spotting the tyres. The fuel may go off so dont leave huge amounts in it.

I always stick to foam pads for Carnuba's - give it a try and see which you prefer though.

Yeap nice thin even coat, wont give you any removal problems though if you do use a touch to much just will waste product.

The Sonus Carnuba Spritz is a lovely product works great on Carnuba Finishes - one of my fave QD's. The CG QD is also nice, though I used to use Megs Last Touch for drying as it is more cost effective.

No they are for hand use. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/foam-wax-applicator/prod_89.html

That won't be going on till the few days before FCS.

Depending on the amount of defects and how perfect the owner wants it. At least 3 or 4 hours for a basic machine polish and seal up to 10-24 hours for full show quality correction.

It would take all day to one car properly! I will be enjoying the show, you may find someone on here willing to though.

Lack of power could be an issue!

I apply AG bumper care with a Microfiber cloth in most cases as it is a thick gel. Sometimes use a medium/softish brush to rub it into textured trim.

I will have to try my FA at the weekend.

Megs NXT Wash is strong enough to strip wax, so flys should come off easily at the same time! On a well waxed/sealed paintwork car shampoo is all I ever need.

Knowsit ... Blue is for Girls ;)
