    New Camera, New Pics

    Yeah zoom in, or move yourself to get the shot you want in the viewfinder. Pressing the shutter halfway to let the autofocus do it's job is fine. In normal conditions the AF should do a great job. In low light you may need to manually focus. The settings your using means the camera is sorting...

    Scratch X

    Using a folded terry towel, small blob on there, work it back an forth until in straight lines until the product is gone, and they is hardly any excess to remove. The nature of the products means you need to work it till it almost disapears. It could take 5 -10 repeats of this process to...

    Good durable wax Chris. Only ever used a sample myself. Brun, Brazo and Shaun have all trialled it a fair bit.

    Harly's wax

    Looking good, you may get may get more looks wisewith multiple coats, but nothing that will show up on camera. The wax really is the iceing on the cake, most of the look you get from the paint is all the prep. The polishing of the paint itself creates most of the looks.

    Bought a 172, found some damage what should I do.

    A good paintless dent removal guy should be able to sort the dents fairly easily. The dealer will have a guy they use for there work already probably.

    Now on coilies :)

    Spot on, get them graphite grey 172 wheels on there again ;)

    Bloody typical

    Even with a machine polish egg damage very rarely polishes out. For some reason goes very very deep, right down to the primer/metal, and nothing bar paint ever sorts it 100% :(

    Bought a 172, found some damage what should I do.

    Its only sometimes the more time you spend working on ther car, and seeing it from different angles and lights, that you spot all the inperfections. I would be going back to the dealers and getting the bits rectified for sure.

    using touch up paint....

    It's the guide mrbilly posted. Rub down/sand the blob of touch up paint when dry with some very fine wet and dry.

    What is the best way...

    10 hours indeed, dont ask, lucky they kept me fed and watered ... pc'd, wheels off, the works. Claying is well worth it. Hope the weathers good.
