Boy speaks sense. 56 mph though at a guess.

;)

Nankangs rock ....

That area on my car is covered in the sticky black underseal stuff, did you strip that all off?

Intresting any idea on make/model number?

Chances are that will be a Rotary Polisher as opposed to a Random Orbital of which the PC is.

Oh so true, mine had holograms in it from the factory!

Meguiars will be selling there's soon, with all there stuff when you see the price you will still want a 110V one at a guess!

I went for the 30ppm to try and make sure it lasts longer. That rinses spot free on Black. I gauged it by this http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/Store/Content/aquagleam/WaterHardnessUk.aspx They also had either a special on or messed up on the price as it was only 29 quid when I purchsed it...

No underseal ?

SRP = Autoglym Super Resin Polish

Johnny from C&S reckons his has lasted a year so far. Not had mine long enough to know. I have been rinising the car as normal and sheeting of the water as best I can with a open ended hose. Then I fill two watering cans with the filtered water and rinse the car with them. Allow the car to drip...

AquaGleam water filter, no drying needed :)

Thirded, sorry but they are never the same again.

Sonax From Vauxhall Halfords for the Autoglym P21s and Clay from http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk

You know it ;) Get polishing then!

Trophy if you like Red, lack of toys and pov spec backseat ;)

When you clay you need to wet the surface with something slippery to allow the clay to glide. This can be down with a soapy water mixture or Quick Detail Spray (QD)

If you clay with QD then you can skip the second wash. Sonax Gloss Shampoo Sonus Green Clay Autoglym Super Resin Autoglym Extra Gloss P21s Wax

Looks good now, BMW paint is where a Rotary comes into action!

As long as you use a few layer of EGP before the P21s it's durability won't matter as you say. Light pressure on the clay, any motion just use plenty of lube, make sure the clay is warm and soft and has a clean face.

SRP cleans and polishes so no need to use any other pre wax cleaner before it. As Riz says it will remove what is already on the piant. Clasy are all much of a muchness as long as you avoid the aggressive bodyshop ones. Sonus Green or Megs Quik Clay are my usual choices.

28 05 182 and a 306 daily hack. Not forgetting my weekend 172 ;)

Overall as a total package to be honest yes. Still miss my old 205 & 309 GTis though.

I run a snap on cover aswell day to day. Seat still looks as it did from the factory. Not meant to though due to the airbags, though I belive they do make a airbag safe one.

Both are rotary polishers so lack the safety margin of the PC. But in correct hands will produce better results once mastered. The above just spin, the PC spins and occillates to make doing paint damage with it harder.

LOL - I would say it is a random orbital sander which can take different sized backing plates for varying sizes and grades of polishing pads.
