You brought the high maintence colour, but its the one that looks the best when clean!

Post some pics mate, maybe something we can sort out?

Ouch, hope you get it all sorted.

As time go's on the shine will dimish. Will need polish to restore the shine, and a wax/sealant to seal in the shine and protect the paint.

No worries, take some pics.

Oops just seen your pm! - Sorry. You could take the risk and quick detail the car, or give it a quick wash which would be safer. I wouldnt just apply the wax without doing one of the above to be honest. Hope this helps, glad its going well so far. Cheers Rich

As others have said, dependng on your local guy it could end up looking worse than it does. You need to see there work, and ask around locally and get soem feed back. For the stone chips, if they are using a paint brush they will be doing what is described in that link above.

Worth PM'ing Matt Black he has data sheets from Renault showing the exact changes to ride height, track width, settings etc. Cup'd is 3mm lower.

I put it for years, you wont regret it.

What do I win :) ;)

As above Autoglym Interior Cleaner or Autoglym Interior Foam. On really stubborn stains try something like Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner. Can be diluted to different strengths as needed.

5 door blue ST? If so spotted that! Just about to post some pics.

Fantastic colour, looking great.

Nice work, everyone's polishing them up now!

Yes same car mate, my username is Rich on there. Was already taken by the time I registered on here though. 3 or 4 passes with a 4 inch light cut spot pad and Poorboys SSR 2.5 polish and yes the PC ;)

I would get some Micropak ones from here Matt http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/Details.asp?objecttradersearch=1&GroupID=1590

Should work fine mate. Use the Mer first like you say and then top with the P21s

Nice one Matt. I use the Vinyl and Rubber on my tryes. I use Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner on dirty wheels. The foam pads are a must, the Megs Microfibers IMO are over priced though.

Hope you get everything sorted. :( Like others have said they never seem right after though.

Nice one, enjoy the car come Friday.

Nice one, enjoy the Trophy, what number? Looking forwarded to the pics. Sold my 306 XSi and 205 GTi just before I brought my 182, not looked back since.

Hate things stuck on my dash to, so installed the pod in the glovebox. If you set up the playlists before in i-tunes and number them 1-5 you can just use the buttons on the headunit to easily navigate them without the need to see it.

Looking great. Nice work.

Very nice - Looking good.

As the cars are shipped over here and sit around at the import centre. Well worth it yes. Use a plastic sandwich bag, put your hand in it and rub it across the paint (after washing) and see if it catches on anything. If so clay will remove this. I use a car wash water mix in a small spray...

P21s is so easy to use, I never bother with it by PC, I use it by hand - wipe on and wipe of. Try a panel first, I think you will find it quicker by hand. 4 inch spot pads are ideal for Paste waxes like Megs 16 as they fit in the tin.

3M also do one, your local paint supplier or bodyshop should be able to source it for you to. I never use the QD spray, and use a soapy water mix, much cheaper!

Guy wacked his door into my old 309 Gti when I was sat in it, I went mad!
