LOL - I bet 99% of the people would look at a Mondial Blue Cup as much as they would a Arctic Blue 182. Dont talk such nonsense Same for a Silver Cup and Silver 172/182.

Looking spanking ... needs some tyre dressing though ;)

Personally I would not use anythging not made for the task, but if it works hey I am not going to argue! That said it cant be any worse than Wonder Wheels or other wheel acids, I dont use them either though.

Best get the Vespa out for a few weeks, @ 200 Miles a day!

I use different MF's for different tasks. Polish and Sealant Removal - Pakshak Ultra's (Can't find any UK stock at the moment) Quick Detailing - http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=9165 Carnuba Wax -...

A route/process that will look good on Racing Blue IMO. Clay - Serious Performance Clay (Good value for money) Swirl removal by hand - Megs Scratch X as Needd Paint Cleaner/Mild polish - Autoglym Super Resin Sealant - Autoglym Extra Gloss Wax - P21s or Poorboys Nattys Blue...

I apply products with the Megs yellow foam hand pads, for the clay get the Serious Performance own brand stuff. Ditch the Chamois and ask Alex if he has any Poorboys Waffle Weave drying towels he can sell you.

I email Alex first and get the price with the CS discount. You can do paypal or balance transfer to his account too.

http://www.picstop.co.uk/ where the cheapest place I could find for CF cards.

I would get the clay from here http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/ Just mix up some car wash and water in a spray bottle and use that. Wonder wheels will be ok on the Cup Pack wheels. It is strong so tends to dull laquer on the wheels till you repolish them.

Welcome to CS. Nice first car, what has happended to the days of 1 litre Festas? ;) Enjoy the Cup.

Wonder Wheels is one the harshest cleaners out there if that does not shift it nothing will! Once cleaned use some Autoglym Super Resin and Extra Gloss to seal them inside and out. Carnuba Waxes give a deep wet look to the paint but dont last that long. Best off with a sealant base to it first.

Drive slow and keep your distance from cars in front. Have you not got the Gixxer anymore, ideal time of the year for it ;)

P21s and NXT will both be no no's on new paint unless your painter says otherwise. You should avoid any products that that contain either waxes or sealant as this will effect the paint curing. New paint will be soft, and aftermarket paint will be sofeter than factory due to the process used. I...

Nice project, whats the plans for the exterior?

ha ha, Cheers - I wish! They are heavily cropped, but look ok on the web.

Preference from most on here is Optimax. 50 litre litre tank. Mine has averaged 28 mpg in the time I have had it.

How deep are the scuffs?

Once you start ;)

My 3 Faves, with a touch of colour adjustment in PS. Others where just resized and posted.

Hope your dreaming, as he is talked and hyped up but never delivers.

Looks very clean.

I will just keep abusing the works printer! lol Nice info though Dave.

Welcome and enjoy.

As above ^^^^ Cut up sponges into smaller bits for greater accurecy (sp)

Would allow you to put on thinner coats, for any polishing work it will great a higher gloss and remove marring you wont by hand. On good shape paint the PC wont help things as much as on paint in need of attention. That said for sealants and waxes I always work by hand.

Sorry - I think they are painted, I meant to say unlaquered.

I apply with a foam hand pad, then buff with a microfiber after a few mins, it will streak otherwise.

I have never had the pleasure of detailing a cup, but as there unpainted others have just use AG bumper care on them. If you polish them at a guess the matt look will be removed. I would not really like to suggest anything really not knowing there actual finish.
