I wondered what happened to the Meccanno you had as a kid - parents must give it away to be re-used on other things.

The 2.5 is not really aggressive, but does give a reasonable amount of cut when used on a light cut pad. I use it at speed 6 when working it on either of the SFX pads. I would try SSR 2 on a polishing pad first, if that is not working step up to 2.5 on a polsihing pad. If still not try SSR 2 on...

I am so predictable! Chop chop just get to it ....

Even more mild IMO.

No point uisng the Megs NXT Wax before the Autoglym. In the same token AG Extra Gloss Protection wont bond to the AG Ultra Deep shine Most of those steps will counter act each other. Best of washing, polishing with AG Super Resin and then a couple of coats of AG Extra Gloss Protection. To...

The Sonus Pre Cleaner will create a nice gloss, won't correct much, if anything in the way of the swirls.

Enjoy - once you have Mac you never go back ;) What do you want use it for re the sotfware. Most things are catered for in a basic form with the applications that ship with the OS.

Poorboys SSR for your first time. Much easier to tell when it has been worked long enough.

Sounds like - i love my 182

Pirelli P7000's come as standard on the 206 GTI 180 - which a couple of mates have, neither seemed very impressed with them.

The main problem with T-Cut is it tends to adds lots of very fine swirl marks into the paint while it attends to any major paint issues - it is a fairly harsh old fashioned type abbrassive and hard to work by hand. Maybe worth looking at the paint under bright forecourt type lights. T Cut...

Re: Any one worl for Renault?? Slight hi-jack on this thread then, part number for a 172/182 fuel rail cover please Mike. Cheers Rich

Will take more than one product. Need to do a whole process the get the best out of you paint/ Wash and Clay to remove grime. Polish to create gloss, shine and depth while correcting paint defects Seal to protect the paintwork from elements and lock in the shine Wax to further protect and...

If you nail catches in the marks it is a good rule of thumb that it wont polish out. If the above is not the case they should polish out - T Cut is not ideal I would look into something like Meguiars Scratch X. Go easy as the laquer on wheels is never as thick as it is on bodywork.

Once you have done your stuff to them Ben does it matter which one you start off with ?

Works well. Spray directly on to dry or damp interior bits and wipe with a damp cloth.

Reading the description it sounds very much like the CG Pro Detailer + Carnauba 32oz, which can be purchased in a bigger size for a couple of extra pounds. http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/prodet.htm Works ok and gives a good finish, but I do find it a little streaky at times on Black.

Try owning a Black car, within a few mins dust is trying to settle!

The CG's Anti Static nature works to some extent. My car was alot more dust free going to the FCS last year with it as the last coat than it was on the way back just wearing a fresh coat of carnuba wax.

Sonax ( still ;) ) Chemical Guys Wash'n'wax Duragloss Wash Are my current faves on the 182. Though I am using Swissol Car Bath on it at the moment, not that impressed with the suds wise, but leaves a very good finish over the Best od Show wax on there. In bulk use on the daily drive etc...

Nice to see its back.

How much soap and water where you using? 2 or 3 capfulls in a 500ml spray bottle seems to work better than QD for me. If you want a QD to us with clay gets something like Meguiars Last Touch which you can water down 50/50 with water. Most of the traders sell it, and it is good value at...

Needed a Cheap 182 model to get painted Black Gold, sorted now.

You better Dash after that comment

It will always look like Primer to me in any lights!

Beading is used as an indication there is some protection on the paint. It is not always a good think as if water bead but not run and sheet off aswell it can lead to water spotting if the sun comes out on cheap waxes and sealants. You must also remember perfectly polished unprotected paint...

You dont make anymore sense than you dad. You talking about spending 30 mins polishing and then compare it to a wax? You guys know the differnce between polishes, waxes and sealants ? Is this a Polish or a Wax or a combination of both? This would easily be shown by posting the...
