As a previous owner of a 205 1.9 GTi which was sold to buy the 182, the 182 is much quicker. The 1.9 is a great car but so very underpowered in todays terms. Most 1.9's never even made the factory figures of 130 brake either!
The Autoglym Shampoo aint that great IMO.
Of the shelf at Halfords options - Megs Gold Class or the Blue Zymol stuff are good cheap choices. If you want to use the net there are even better choices.
The Autoglym Super Resin Polish has protective qualitys but your better of with a longer...
Brazo has one, he is best to answer if it is better. I would not want one and not have a pc aswell, as you wont be able to get into all areas with the cyclo ike you can with a PC and a single 4 inch spot pad.
You will need the SRP after the SSR's to allow the EGP to bond properly to get maximum durability.
They say not to go over speed 5 on the 4 inch pads, I go to 6 for short periods when correcting defects though.
Depending what products I use depends on what I tape. In most cases when doing a...
The first port of call is 80 on the white polishing pad and see what it does.
If it is not cutting it you could then try SSR 2.5 on a white pad and see if that is enough.
In most cases cars need the step up to:
Sonus Yellow - SSR 2.5
Sonus White - Megs 80
Sonus White or Blue - AG SRP
EGP by...
80 is a good product I like it, a sun friendly alternative is Optimum Polish, or you could use SSR 2 a little more aggressive or SSR 1 a little milder. The Optimum is closer to the 80's finish, the SSR's lack the oils so give a different look to the Speed Glaze.
As a beginner to the PC the SSR...
Depending on how deep a clean is needed.
Very dirty glass 4 inch spot pad by PC.
Normally apply by MF Cloth, or Foam hand pad and remove with a clean MF cloth.
Some use it with very fine wire wool on stubborn marks not something I have ever risked.
SSR 2 is not much more agressive than the 80, SSR 2.5 is a better choice.
In most cases the light cut pad with SSR 2.5, and then 80 with a polishing pad are needed.
All depends on the paint condition, I would always do a panel with 80 and a polishing pad first and see how it turns out. 80 has...
Did the same on my 309 GTi, 185/55's to 195/50's to save some money. Stayed with the proper sized ones on the 205 as it never felt as good on wider rubber.
Let them down and you maybe able to push the tyres back and break the bead and prise them off the rims.
Thought they may have been...
Dealers seem to get lots of slating on here, some sound better then others.
No one has had one long enough to see any reliability problems on the 197, the 1*2s all seemed to share the same issues, but as this is a new car we will see.
Be fine as long as the two on the same axle are the same size like Rex said.
Loads of 306 owners run the 50 profiles to save money over 55's alters the speedo reading slightly.
Yeah is no problem, Brazo did a Mak. Edition Evo.
They are single stage red, so easy to polish, very soft paint, (and you will get red pc pads!) as long as you dont go over the stickers with anything really harsh they will be fine. Mark said he went over the edges of stickers ok.
I would not...
200mm at most UK circuits is two short unless you can get really close to the action.
Only been able to use my 70-200 succesfully at a Hillclimbs, was two short everywhere else.

Everywhere else I have had to use the Lens with a 1.4 Extender to get the reach...
