I would get AG SRP and EGP as well as a tube of Megs Scratch X to sort any deeper defects the SRP Won't fix.

The water magnet is not liked on Deatailing World as people have found it a cause of swirls. NXT Shampoo always seems fairly harsh on sealants and waxes, stopped using it here after noticing the paint dulling effects

A machine polish will always achieve things you wont be hand. A good polish by hand will show you the areas that will need the attention by machine though.

Any colour will benifit from a machine polish to get the paint defects. As you have seen darker colours do show more dramatic results where as on silver you will really struggle to see the improvements in pictures. Yellow will sit in the middle ground, but in the flesh to your own eyes the...

They changed them to red a while ago Thats is just a fraction of my stuff tbh - in those bags is my Autoglym Products and Meguiars Bodyshop stuff. I pack the boot accorsing to what I think I will need a show, normally take to much. Will be taking water aswell to certain shows as it was a mare...

Alloy wheels are just painted like the bodywork, I would stick to polishes intended for paint rather than metal polish on them my self.

Cloth is fine for the job IMO.

Not very big, I have 5 of the two older style ones

Would not use EGP on a sunny day full stop to be honest unless there was suitable shade to allow the car to be done in parts. Onto a loser straight away doing anything with it in the sun. Wait till the evenings or get up early! Get it on as thin as you can, then it is too thick still I bet so...

Tim still has them on offer: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/menzerna-250ml/menzerna-250ml-sampler-kit/prod_220.html Get using it you know you want to! I resited getting the PC on mine today, been 8 months since I polished it! In the end addressed some minor marks with Menerna...

Been struggling to wax mine all morning moving it round avoiding the sun, in and out of the garage etc to do the roof and bonnet!

AFAIK Alex has never done Menzerna? - Tim at Clean your Car sells the sample kits.

If you can easily see it on the paint when cured you have applied it too thick IMO.

Should wipe of easily if applied thin enough.

AIO needs to be placed before Jeffs after a polishing if that is required to ensure the Jeffs bonds properly. I do the above only before winter. If mine lived outside I would do the Jeffs 2-4 times a years. Will reply to your PM from the other day as I am on a day off today.

Your local Autoglym rep should be able to sort you with and empty AG one.

Working by hand Autoglym Super Resin and Extra Gloss both work well on Black Gold when used and worked correctly, most people use to much and dont get succesful results. In most cases though the paint tends to need something more abbrasive than the Super Resin to clean it up. Working by hand...

SFX is a finsishing polish and you could argue the same for SRP. That said SRP has very little actual abbrassive cut, it cleans chemically and leaves a perfect base for the EGP to bond too. If you want to use the EGP it needs to go over the SRP for best results. If your going straight to wax...

Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Finish lol! I got on better with the SSR 2.5 better than the 83 ( SSR 2 does not have as much cut as the 83) but am not a big fan of the SSR 1. For me mix and match and use SSR 2.5 and Megs 80 if the Menz is not an option.

Will do if it is stuck on and gone hard yes, though I would prefer and advise to dissovle it off using AG Tar and Adhesive rather than shear it off using clay.

I will let you have that one - I was talking more about past french car experiences though!

The luck of the draw, did you get Monday car or Friday car, it is as simple as that with French Motors!

Doubt QD alone will remove it tbh

Looks a great road, Racing Blue looks so bright in the Sun!

Clay or Tar and Adhesive Remover. QD alone wont wont remove it.

Ha ha Superb. To add insult to injury did you show him the way of the 182 way aswell ;)

LOL With you on that one, I take mine of the reverse the Clio into the garage, the beeping does not annoy me enough to want to disconnect it though.

Yeap - Not a fan of the UDS as it won't let the EGP bond to it. After you polishing with the SFX's follow that up with the SRP and EGP and it will look good.

After the paint correction - AG SRP works well by PC, follow that up with EGP and you will get cracking results for very little muhoney.

Normal masking tape works fine, blue painters tape can be purchased from B&Q, the genuine 3M 3434 Tape can be purchased from most of the online traders or any local good bodyshop supplier. I tape up all rubbers and unpainted trim when compouding or heavy polishing or doing work on a whole car...
