    Hope you get it sorted. I was pissed off last night that someone had smashed the mirror off my 306 so can imagine how you must feel.

    Black Bits

    It works to revive colour, won't get rid of the wax residue from them though.

    Cleaning stuff i need to get?

    In addition to that thread you will need to prep the paintwork first. Wash, clay and polish Black Gold shows every mark, before waxing a decent polish is a must. Working by hand is hard work, I had limited results with Meguiars Scratch X. A machine polish is the most effective route on Black...

    Need advice on cleaning crevices

    I like this one. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/two-way-mini-detail-brush/prod_194.html Normally just use a microfiber towel and some Quick Detail spray though.

    How to use clay???(help)

    On warm days in the spring/summer warming it by hand is fine. On really cold days I have microwaved it first as it was the only way to get it soft enough, most of the time cup of water is fine. Splitting the bar in 3 is must, if you drop a bit chuck it. When you have used it on the piiant...

    Finally, pics of my 172, shame aboutthe camera!

    I use a blade all the time on my 306. Would not use it on my 182 though. Is safe as long as you wipe it after each pass, and the car is washed and rinsed well. Still is an element of danger that it will mark if the above is not done so I wont risk it on Black. Back on topic - Car looks good.

    Quick Detailers CG .v. PB & CK

    I have both the CG Speed Wipe, the CG Synthetic Detailer as well as the CG Detailer Plus Carnuba. I also have the Quickshine and the Poorboys Spray and Wipe. Looks wise I can see nothing between any of them on my car all take on the look of the product below it. I only use the Spray and Wipe...

    Detailing a Porsche

    M Seal and EGP won't work together. IMO PC with whatever compounds/polishes you need to get it swirl free then Super Resin, EGP x 2 or 3 and a coat of P21s
  18. Rich

    TomTom One v2 any good?

    I grabbed one a few weeks ago, nice bit of kit. Even works though the front screen in the 182 without problems. Went for it over the 510/710 Etc down to its size, much more compact.

    First clean of my new BM..

    SRP only dusts due to user error, applied to thickly and not worked properly. Right amout, worked until there is no residue to remove. Anything you have to wipe of it waste product. The UDS is a poor product in comparison. The above combo I suggested of Autoglym Super Resin, Autoglym Extra...

    He was at Rallyday last August at Combe in it driving it bady! It is basically a space frame chassis under the bodywork I believe.

    197 in Topgear 'Lifers'

    I think most people that have done a proper write up on gave balanced views on it. Problem is it is a very different car to the 172/182 and depends on what you want from a car.
  22. Rich

    197 or 182??

    Doubt the steering feel will be adressed by the cup upgrades .. be nice if it was though.

    What happens on the next clean?!

    AG Shampoo is fine, most on here dont like it due to lack of suds, it leaves a nice finish and cleans well. Once every 3 to 6 months for a polish and seal is fine. I tend to top up waxes once a month though. Maybe a bit less now I have changed the waxes I use.

    silver ph1 whats best?

    Lose the Gold Glass, not that durable, easy to use or that good looking IMO. Get a couple of layers of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection over the Super Resin to add some proper protection and depth to the paint. Top that with a nice pure carnuba wax to increase looks further - P21s, Chemical Guys...

    First clean of my new BM..

    Brand new ? Any swirl marks ? Autoglym Super Resin, Autoglym Extra Gloss and a nice coat od Swissvax Onyx Carnuba Wax would be my routine.

    What happens on the next clean?!

    Just Wash, dry and QD, or depending on what wax you using just wash and dry. Dress the tyres, clean the glass, a quick interior wipe down and your done.

    New to cleaning

    Polishes like Megs 80 can be used by hand but they are not that easy to use by hand compared to products that are more hand application orintated.

    wheel cleaner

    Autoglym Super Resin and Extra Gloss Protection I then top them up when I get the chance with a wheel wax - such as Swissvax Autobahn or Poorboys Wheels Seal as these don't contain any cleaners like the CG Guys ones do which would remove the EGP.
