Check out Shaun's guide to buying http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=57673&highlight=PC+buying+guide Not done the conversion rate at the moment but sounds about right.

yes - You would need http://shop.store.yahoo.com/autopia/son-sfxpol-kit.html plus a good swirl remover, such as Poorboys SSR 2.5, and a good polish such as Meguiars 80 Speed Glaze. Plus the Transformer, Extension cable and plug from Screwfix to get it up and running.

I can't remember paying anymore than 200 for everything I needed.

The one most of us have is Porter Cable 7424 Dual-Action Polisher Easy enough to pick up the basics, effective swirl removal takes a bit of practice. A fairly safe machine to use on whole.

A fair few miles away, Gloucestershire.

Most of the work was done by PC Swirl Removal - Poorboys SSR 2.5, Light Cut Pad - A fairly abbrassive cutting polish. Polish - Meguiars Speed Glaze 80, Polishing Pad - A very rich deep gloss polish that leaves an excellent finish. Glazed - Cleakote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze - Polishing...

Very nice Dan, nice to see you got that chrome look too. How come you only a few miles away and have sun though !? Well grey here.

Do they look real yet Ben ? ;) I would not have liked to do all those steps by hand. I did the last coat of glaze by hand as a way of inspecting the paint as I went and the sealnt coat by hand and that was enough. All products where removed by hand though. For actual polishing the machine...

No probs Hayley, remembered this thread when I saw the paint on the cossie yesterday.

LOL @ cleaning Idol and could have treid harder, next time I promise! Get it cleaned ;)

LOL @ Chip Butty Wagon! I have been thinking the same, not sure I would get black again though!

83 is Meguiars DACP - an abbrassive cutting polish 80 is Meguiars Speed Glaze - a rich polish/glaze Both suited to machine use from the Megs Pro Line of products Pc from here http://shop.store.yahoo.com/autopia/

Just waiting for everyone to pick what dates thay want!

Cheers lads - You won't regret it Guy. I put it off for years now kick myself, as soon as I brought the Black 182 it was a must.

It took some time, and I did go a bit mad on the products :o it's done know though. Took double the time due to feeling rough after a couple of nights out which didnt help and slowed progress!

Lot's cheaper anywhere else tho!

Did you have a go at sorting it in the end? Where you located chap?

Stick with any decent 5W-40 and you will be fine.

Depending on how bonded/melted on it is it may shift it.

You gone for Black then Matt?

Graphite Grey would look sweet.

Bump for BenP ... Worked on a Sierra Cosworth yesterday with this problem in a couple of areas. The PC I can safely say did nothing to fix the problem, a pass with Swirl remover on a cutting pad, and a pass with Optimum Polish on polishing pad , coat of Klasse AIO by hand - Then problem time...

The belts have to come of to remove the cam cover IIRC.

You may be lucky and just find that!

I wouldnt you won't like what you find!

Leaky cam cover strikes again :( Hope you get it sorted Jay.

Nice one Dan. Chris - garages rule!
