    QuarkXpress or InDesign?

    When we get MacPros in the next few months we will be taking the step across to InDesign when CS3 is released. Till then still stuck in Quark which I hate. But in the end it does everything I need it to do, any manipulation, editing and vector stuff I would rather do in PS or Illustrator...

    Best wax ???

    The EGP is good for 2-3 months so would be hard to tell what was still protecting your paint as the 50/50 may have worn off.

    Best wax ???

    Looking forward to seeing some of the results on the whole car then. I like the look it gives, I still don't find it as easy on or off as some products though (it is by no means hard to use but other products are even easier).

    super resin or ultra deep shine?

    UDS shine is not as easy on or off and the SRP and can't be topped with Extra Gloss Protection either. Don't really rate the ultra deep shine myself. As with others I recommend the 4 steps in the above post.

    Sport 172 Seat Cover changing, Clips/Crimping Tool Help?!

    Was going to do this on my old 205. Never looked under at the Clio seats so not sure if they are the same, but sounds like they maybe. I think the brass rings are called hog rings and you can buy new ones and the tool/pliers for re-attaching them from places that supply coach trimming supplies.

    Gave my new....

    Autoglym cleans well and gives a nice finish after washing, personally I just dislike the lack of Suds.

    Paint restorer?

    Try the AG SRP first and see how it goes, wither that or get some Klasse All in One. If that is not working you may have to look into something a little more abbrassive

    Paint restorer?

    Autoglym Super Resin has some good chemical cleaners which work well to restore luster and colour. When you say was white what is the problem now, greyish/ingrained grime? Oxidised finish, scratches and swirls?

    iBook - Yes or No

    AFAIK MacBooks all come only in 13 inch, the Pro then allows you to get 15 and 17. Quickest way to check specs http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=32B42242&nclm=MacBook Price seem's good Matt. I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro which I really like.

    smoothed number plate recess??

    I think cars look great with no number plates, and if this was the case smoothed over recess would look good. But when you have to have one and a plate will still need to be on there somewhere like in the p/shop of the silver one a few posts up - it will look shite.

    iBook - Yes or No

    If it is an ibook it is fairly old. They have been replaced by MacBooks for a while now.

    PC again or by hand?

    If the most you have used so far is SRP you should have plenty of paint left! If it is only minor marring something like Poorboys SSR 2, Megs 80 or Menzerna Final Finish should sort the defects before you use the SRP and EGP.
  17. Rich

    PC again or by hand?

    If there are marks more than likely it will take at least the SRP with a polishing pad to correct them, bear in mind you will be stripping through the EGP aswell so the added cut will help. SRP corrects very little by PC so it may not sort all the defects anyway.

    Autoglym Extra gloss........Pain to remove

    It does, it kills the spray head if you leave it in there too long though!

    Best Polish for Silver

    Yes polish, seal and then wax. Good shout on the OCW. Spray waxes/sealants such as Optimum Car Wax (OCW), Prima Hydro, or Duragloss Aquawax are all worth purchasing for times when you just want to washand dry as all can be used on the paint while it is wet from washing and removed while drying...

    Autoglym Extra gloss........Pain to remove

    Applied to thickly at a guess for starters. No problem doing the whole car and leaving it, I find this the best way when using EGP and it is what Autoglym recommend. I always leave it on for an 45 mins to an hour at least, comes of super easy when applied thinly. I have left it on over night...

    Best wax ???

    We did a guide with the basics. Discusses process rather than products, but should get you started: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=148366

    Best wax ???

    No advantage of applying paste waxes by machine anyway so hand application is ideal. Yeap P21s is awesome on Blues.

    Best wax ???

    Looks wise 50/50 vs P21s you may see a little difference. The 50/50 was comparable to Pinnacle Souveran in looks on Black when I did some panels half and half with each, and the Souveran has always had the edge slightly in the looks over P21s. Most of the look of these waxes is all in the prep...
