Try a decent paint clean such as Klasse AIO (in a small area first).

I have done a few spot repair jobs, on lighter colours and silver you can get away with it, darker and bright colours you need to do the whole car.

Is normal - The Frenchies where to lazy to swap it from LHD to RHD properly. The lock placement for them will be there drivers side

I am sure you will easily find friends and family that are happy to let you practice on there cars - I did. Was ages before I used a cutting pad and polish on the 182. Even on your own car with a polishing pad and a mild polish you will be fine with a PC.

I am sure a few people on here will give you the same level of service with some decent waxes and sealants for a lot less then he is charging! I wouldnt pay anyone 500 notes to clean my car!

If you want a wax for just for looks over the EGP - P21s, or one that looks good and protects Meguiars #16. Both form Alex http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/

I have the Ice Link Plus ( the non FM based one) in the 182, works fine with my ipod and nano. Pod can be controlled by the stalk and headunit, and the display still works. Only shows up track number no name date etc on it though.

Welcome and enjoy.

Nice shots there - is Blood Orange the Oz name for Inferno then?

Welcome and enjoy. Best colour choice on the 172.

Not a fan of any of the NXT range, SRP with a few coats of EGP topped with a decent pure carnuba wax is a better route Oms. As to which wax, what colour is the car? The Blue 182 has gone I take it?

I imported mine myself as above - http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ Also have a read - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=57673 But some UK traders now sell all you need as a kit with the transformer etc if you dont fancy it - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/

I'm getting mine done next week ...

Clearkote Red Machine Glaze is another product that works so much better by machine than by hand. Scratch and swirl removal, easyist to learn with is the Poorboys SSR range, best results come from the Menzerna range, Intensive Polish and the Final Finishes. I normally do: Spring: wash - clay...

Nice clean up.

I dont use mine on weekly basis on my own car to be honest. Lots of people apply sealants and waxes with them, I tend to still do that by hand. If you so desired you could use it weekly to apply waxes, be they liquid or pastes. Do a few cars for freinds and family and make it pay for itself!

Indeed, would look even better with the sign shopped out. Cracking set of pics again. :approve:

Ideally you dont really want to do any real abbrassive polishing more than once a year. That said once de-swirled a good wash technique should mean the swirls won't come back. Pain Cleaners, Glazes, Waxes and Sealants can be applied every week with it if you like. Some products work so much...

Both look good- but EGP IMO is more durable than the M-seal. The Autoglym is proven to last the winter not seen any real tests or had a chance to test it myself. M-seal only lasted about a month here, but it was over a oily glaze base. EGP is normally my winter sealant but I have gone for Jeffs...

If you have used the NXT already you will need to re SRP and EGP as if you try and a layer of EGP now ontop of the NXT it wont bond.

Being left out outside till tommorrow? - If so I would rewash the roof, re-apply the EGP, and allow to cure then wipe off.

It's for lazy people ;)

If using AG EGP that is the only way to do itreally. The EGP will only bond properly to the Resin Polish or to something like Klasse AIO. The Resin is a fairly thick liquid, where as the EGP is a very watery liquid.

As long as they are the same on each side of the axle it is legal.

Gold class is a cleaner wax, it lightly polishes/cleans and waxes,dont rate it myself - best of with a decent polishand sealant combo IMO. Wash - Gold Class Shampoo Polish - Autoglym Super Resin Seal - Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection Wax - #16 would be good for winter

Sizes will be fine for the MOT.

I use the firmer more dense SFX pads for more serious paint correction - they seem to hold more product and also allow you to work it slightly longer - and use the larger slightly less aggressive DAS ones on my own car. Apart from in th spot pads which are not avaialble in the DAS ones.

Cracking set of pics.

27-30.
