Had a sample from Mr Brazo, looked alike to Nattys in looks, much prefered the look of Souveran, P21s and CG 50/50 to name but a few to it.

I have messed up with a PC. Went through laquer on my 182 wheel removing a deep scratch. BUT I could tell it was to deep to fix so had nothing to lose. I have seen threads where marr up paint worse than it was before with a PC down to bad polish choice and inproper technique, so it is possible.

A damn site quicker than the 1.0 - 1.3 cars most people have as there first cars.

Hard to damage paint with a PC, as long as the paint is clean and the pads are clean, you dont use a super aggresssive compound, avoid over polishing on the edges you will be fine. If you have any panels you are dubious over the paint quality on though then there could be problems. Like...

Not a bad price, the DAS kit works out at about 100 quid plus shipping

Yeah no need to use a hose all over it. Like I said small areas at a time with very little water. There is nothing there on show that does not get wet when you drive it.

TBH there is nothing I can see in your pictures I would cover. Any of the pipes and cables shown, I would wipe the grime off all of them with a damp cloth.

Got a link?

Slight over kill! :rasp:

Pink?

Which wires are you worried about? Can't see anything in the pic that worries me to much? You could if you fancy a 200 odd mile journey to get an engine bay clean!

I would do it a little at a time, using as little water as possible. Spray a small amont of Autogylm degreaser on a chosen area, agiate with a soft brush for a few seconds to start it working, rinse of with a small amount of water or even better just a damp cloth, dry as best you can with a...

Really? - the 2 bodyshops I do work for and the paint suppliers I use are all still oil based/suppling oil base colour for the basecoat? Both are preparing to go waterbased ready for the new year.

I would stick with the boots it came from the factory with. I liked F1's in the past, but would stay with the Michelins on the 182.

SRP is to mild to remove anything major to be honest. Scratch X will work to a certain extent but will take a hell of a lot of elbow grease and never quite reach the finish a good machine polish will do.

Not tried 50/50 on any colour than Black, on which it looked as good as Souveran. Would like to see 50/50 used on Blue, as I have not found anything I like on Blue as much as P21s yet. On Black the 50/50 looks a little deeper looking than the P21s but lacks pop the P21s seems to add.

Some mates! As Loony says it depends on the damge, I know a good PDR guy than can sort defects even with the stengthening behind in some cases, but that depends on where you are based.

50/50 is great value for money - looks as good as the Souveran for nearly half the price. Only used mine a couple of times saving it for the summer. Luckily the 182 stays fairly contaminent free so should need nothing but a spot clay, fingers crossed!

The Jeffs left a better finish than any sealant I have used to date, I was almost tempted not to top it with wax at all and keep building up the layers. I used the last my 476 up before last winter but never did a direct comparison of them in looks. Neither give a finish (well look) that I am...

The above should see you through the winter fine, this year I layed down a Megs 16 base as this works almost aswell as the 476. Not got any Collinite on the go at the moment as I only use the 16 every winter for 2 coats. The Collinite is regarded as the number 1 winter wax though.

The Atlantique is just for a non refillable pot which makes it the most expensive one to use if you like it and keep buying pots! To be honest it all gets a little silly really. I have some Concours try in a sample pot, even if I like it I doubt I can stomach well over a 100 quid on a pot of wax.

Looks wise its all down to the prep, not much in the looks, subtle differences. My main reason for changing over to Zymol for the winter was to see if it really does last. The finish left by the Titanium is totally different to any other waxes I have used, feels like a sealant it is that slick.

Don't have the yellow then!

Think you need a special 197 Defender badge Seb.

You could get Full Fat 182's in Inferno which that is, just someone has added stripes.

Looks a clean example, if that is before you have polished and waxed it can't wait to see it after.

The Ebony wax is intended for single stage non metallic black cars. Think combine04 was amused by the in stock date!

Well worth a buy if you think you will get yopur moneys worth from it. Autopia and import yourself is the best plan IMO, and grab the transformer and cables over here. http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ Though if you want all you need in one easy Kit...
