One coat of SRP should be fine on decent shape paint, you can always do a second if your not happy with the results one polish gives. Get the 3 layers of EGP on and that should leave you sorted for for 3 -6 months. Just wax with the P21s one a month or so after a wash.

Wash clay, SRP and then try and get 2 or 3 coats of EGP on before you wax. You are meant to leave/allow 12 -24 hours between layers of EGP and before topping with wax anyway. I would be tempted to wash, clay SRP and EGP it tommorrow. Then Sunday apply another coat of EGP. Then next weekend...

Has some light filling abilitys, but nothing major. Prefer the Vanilla Moose to it when working by hand.

LOL - I doubt it is going to perform worse though!

I have had 3 months out of 3 layers of EGP untopped. Tend to top it once a month with wax though if I can, then redo the SRP & EGP once every 6 months.

Silver, lady driver - 8am ish heading across the M5 junction towards Ashchurch.

Nice one Tim - does sound good. The PC does not have a lack of power, it just does not have the same amount of bite as a rotary, like everything there is the occasional time you wish it had a tad more. Not ever had any real vibration problems others have talked about. I have always found...

Best colour - enjoy.

2nd.

Sounds good Tim - esp, the better power, interesting to see how the vibration is cut down as I always thought that was a side effect of it being random orbital. The price I take it will be akin to UK sold PC rather than what it would cost to import a PC from the states myself?

Wash, dry and wack on a coat of P21s IMO.

Sunroof(s) look huge.

Gutting - as said makes your wonder if it is worth having anything nice these days. Hope you get it sorted.

Looks a clean example, water marks on the front splitter not cracks I hope?

The ride and composure the 197 has are the best part of the car. It did ride really nicely, but felt the feedback of what it was doing through the front wheels ala CTR ruined the drive for me though. It grips and handles very well, and does ride a hell of alot better than a 1*2. The lack of...

I have the origional design one with the brass adjuster, dont think you will go wrong with either.

As you have said 4 inch pads are a must. I always suggest at least one of each grade pad in both sizes. 2 of each full sized Light Cut, Polishing and Finishing Pads 2 of each 4inch Spot Light Cut, Polishing and Finishing Pads Aside from the PC's the Autopia stock of other products is a...

Superb.

It was deep scratch, I had to try it, as it could have saved me money, either way I had nothing to lose as as it stood it needed paint anyway. Ideally you should keep the pad flat, dangers of angling it over on the 4 inch pads (esp the thin one) is catching the packing plate on the paint, and...

A step up into the new world of bigger fatter hatches - yes indeed. Bring on the RenaultSport Twingo for those that want a proper small light hot hatch rather than a big family sized hatch. Won't argue with the other comments, though looks wise it is subjective though and we all now there is...

See the above, Rotarys have no mercy and spin and spin even when bearing down on them. Push down on a PC to try and burn paint and the random orbital action means it's motor will bog down and slow before going through paint easily when using normal sized pad. That said with a 4 inch pad on a...

With a proper rotary paint burn in thin areas can be easy, you will struggle to do that with a random orbital like the porter cable.

Both the cars will be polished before the FCS so won't be a problem.

If you use to much it will be a 'mare by the PC to get it to break down properly so you may install finer marks while taking out the larger ones. Not enough product and allowing the pad to dry out against the paint is also as bad. Ideally you need to find the optimum amount of polish, not to...

Depends on the product, better to use to much than end up dry buffing, ooh er misses!

With a polishing or finishing pad on a mild polish there should be little danger of going through. With a cutting pad and heavier compounds on you could easily strike through.

Monaco Blue should respond the same. P21s Wax, and Chemical Guys 50/50 both also look good on it.

If the interior cleaner is not shifting it you will need something like Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner.

Tell them not to wash the car ;)
