Sealant details are here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=178580
Autoglym from local Halfords, and the Poorboys polishes if you have access to a machine polisher from Alex @ http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk
If the PDR guy is using up to date techniques / kit should they may able to sort it without going behind it - so double skinned or not it should be sortable
Tell me about battery went flat the other day ;)
Machine polished last year with Poorboys SSR polishes, on top of that Autoglym Super Resin Polish, Jeffs Acylic Jetts Sealant (Like the AG Extra Gloss but lots more user freindly) topped of with a good pure Carnuba Wax.
Megs stage 3 wax is not very durable I would doubt you will get more than 3-4 weeks protection at this time of year.
Worth getting a durable sealant like Autoglym Extra Gloss which should get you a couple of months if you get a couple of coats on.
Failing that top up with wax every few weeks...
Wash
(Dry)
Clay if needed
Swirl and defect removal with a more aggressive polish if needed.
Then onto the Super Resin.
Shampoos wise - I like Sonax Gloss, CG Wash and Wax, Duragloss or Einzett Perls on my 182.
One my daily car I use Meguiars Shampoo Plus or Hyper Wash as its available i bulk...
Yes for the Super Resin - Panel at a time, work it the polish on the panel and remove.
There is no need or benifits to leaving it on moving panel to panel and do the rest of the car and remove at once. In fact doing that makes removal harder.
The Extra Gloss Sealant needs to be applied to the...
EGP should last a few months if you build a few layers up.
Should be no need to polish a car every few weeks, even I only polish mine a few times a year!
Panel at a time for polishing, no real need to let polishes cure and in some case you should not, straight on and off.
Sealants and waxes you can do the whole car if you so desire.
Re: RR results for 1*2s
Intresting you say that as I had my bog standard 182 run there a few weeks ago and it made over book at 185 bhp
A few people commented that it over reads but other cars where bang on the book figures. The thing that is odd is how low the @ the wheels figures are.
I think the Adobe stance was a programme to compete with Apperture just for Photographers without the other bits the PS now has in it that they may not use. As above I can do what I need in CS2 so never bothered to download it either.
The spoiler looked ok imo, except it was fake carbon looks rather than colour coded as on the race car.
The other skirt and splitter add ones looked shite.

A polish alone unfortunatley will not do anything for a deep scratch. Touch up paint, a wet sand and machine polish may sort it.
