    Easter Pre Show Season Detail (56K warning)

    Applied by hand with a Cleakote Microfiber Applicator. Have found with sealants they soak into the very soft finishing pad meaning you end up wasting lots of product. It does allow you to get a very thin coat though if you do so.

    OK Got a nail in my tyre

    I picked up a puncture on the Toyos I had on my 205 GTi a week after buying them, and decided to get it fixed. Knew they would only last 6K so knew I would not have to live with them for long. Like youy say all comes down to how big your wallet is!

    OK Got a nail in my tyre

    Should be fine as long as its in the area they can fix. As they are only speed V rated most places will mend, some refuse on higher speed rated ones.

    Cheers Ted. They take some cleaning though in Black, five mins left outside and you will already see the dust settling!

    show cars?- what the f**k do they use??

    Using a glaze which is high in oils, is ideal for the deep wet look. It leaves a wet film on top of the surface which looks fantastic. Wont last long so needs sealing n with a good wax. These also are not great durability wise, but this is far surpassed by hopw good they look. As Dan says -...

    Does this mean trouble?

    ;) Not as much as yours, looks to be weeping out of one bolt near the oil filler, thought maybe it was just spilt when they filled it up, but I wiped it clean and it came back. They have been 2300 hard miles though ;)

    Just Finished Second Coat AG EGP

    Around 150-200 quid for a good starter kit that will last a good while

    show cars?- what the f**k do they use??

    A good glaze and natural carnuba wax is the way to go for good looks and a show car shine. On black try something like Meguiars Show Car Glaze and P21s or Poorboys Nattys Blue Carnuba waxes.

    What is the best polish/wax?

    SRP alone is ok, not that great durability wise. EGP can last months, but needs an hour to dry and haze for easy removal.
  27. Rich

    What is the best polish/wax?

    A wax over the top of EGP will always add to the looks while the EGP gives you great protection. As Ben says Nattys Blue looks great on Black, as does Pinnacle Souveran or P21s.
