Time for a shed ;)

Was so much easier with a tripod rather than trying to find things to rest the camera on, and still getting movement!

Nice work. Did the same using a factory flood light on a couple of the shots I did.

Welcome to CS, enjoy. Hope you find yourself a good example of whichever you choose.

Sounds like it could have been nasty. You where lucky, buy a lottery ticket!

Looks good and lasts a long time, cheap to buy, conatins no cleraners or abbrassives, is just a pure sealant. Easy to apply. Downsides its not the easist product to remove, even when applied very thin. If applied to thickly it will dust on removal. Also takes 30-60 mins waiting time after...

Body shop should advise, but new paint needs to cure for 30-60 days maybe more. In most cases on new bodyshop applied paint waxes and sealant are a big no no. Washing after is fine, so is polishing with bodyshop safe polishes and glazes, ie ones formulated for new paint that dont seal the paint...

A sealant is a man made blend of products, some do contain wax. Some are polymer based to help then bond and be durable. I prefer Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection, but other options include Megs #21, which imo doesnt look that special and is expensive. Megs NXT, dont like the cleaners in it...

UK site is http://www.meguiars.co.uk/ Other places can supply it cheaper though, http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/ do CS discount.

Polish the scream with a good glass polish to cut through the smeary Rain X. Autoglym Glass Polish should work well.

A very very average then, I sense and improvement! Loony - big commitment on the car this weekend then. Can only just get in and out the car in the garage let alone PC it!

Great shots, that one looks even better cropped like the above. In the first 3 pics the car is really nicely light, handly placed street light? Nice work.

LOL what you like! I bet he was cold, I had about 4 layers on outside at the Rally yesterday.

Welcome to CS, enjoy.

LOL you saying he's cheap! :quiet: Cheers mate, got a quick wash in when it stopped raining earlier on mine, probably be the same as yours by tommorrow. Rained all day here nearly.

As Jay says Once or twice a year for a big clean up 1. Wash 2. Clay 3. Polish 4. Sealant 5. Wax (really just to improve looks not a needed step if using a good sealant) A good sealant should last around 3 months, you could then use wax over the top and and apply that 30 - 60 days, meaning you...

Cloths Hand washing, Woolite. Machine, Whatever any machine liquid will do. Pads Hand wash in Fairy Liquid.

Loony - Danish Butter how posh! Thanks for the comments all, Jay there are no dirty pics ! I dont think I am the one that should write a photography guide I am learning as I go along, a good guide would help though. Tom - we will sort something out.

Very nice looked like a sweet day out. Love this shot

Likewise!

Looking good. How do you find those P6000's? - hated them on my old 306.

That's the worse thing the cleaner you get it the more anything stands out :( Sounding like shes going to be looking good then.

Looking good, like others was not sure as to what the wheels would look like side on. Nice.

Both could be tidied up with touch up paint and wet sanding to improve on, but would be hard to make perfect. If that's the case I would be tempted to get it all painted, as I doubt there will be that much difference in price.

Welcome back to Clio ownership.

My local one doesnt sound like it will then! - the 24 hour one in the town where I work may have then. Cheers for the info Rich

1. A polish cleans up the paint, removes marks, and gives a good gloss, a wax seals in the shine and protects. They are two different things - but you do get all in one products that do both like Autoglym Super Resin, that cleans, polish and protects. There are also sealants, that like waxes...

Going to have to check these out next time i am in Tescos. Some one on Detailing World said Morrisons sell them cheaply as well.

Cheeky git! I am worried about tommorrow night now, Si did warn me about you ;) Cheers for the comments everyone.
