Still looks like there is more weight to lose to me.

That should do the trick chap.

I am not sure how much Andy charges (he's in your area) Pm me you email addy and I can put you in touch if you want?

I have only ever used Souveran on my own car which is Black. Used to used P21s on my old Miami Blue and that looked great. You cant go wrong with either I would suspect. I am sure the Souveran will look great.

Great work on the refurb.

Nice work Dutty.

Welcome and enjoy.

You lot need to move to the Midlands!

Mine go to Glaze to use is Clearkote Vannilla Moose Hand Glaze. Lightly cleans and polishes and can give up to 30 days protection. But is still best to follow up with a good pure Carnuba wax like P21s See here with CS Discount http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/sp/products/polish_wax.php

That's not a bad product, go easy on it as it can be quite abbrassive. You will need to follow it up with a lighter polish possibly as well, as it tends to put in very fine scratches while taking out the bigger ones!

They sell a kit here. www.frost.co.uk

If it's light it should polish out even by hand. I would avoid using any real harsh compounds and T-cut and get your self a tube of Meguiars Scatch X, formulated to work well by hand.

Brazo is in the Wilts/Swindon area. Dave if thats to far I cant put you in touch with someone else closer in the Reading/Basingstoke Area?

Will do.

Not had the streaking problem with my Pakshaks. But will give the Megs a go when I am next passing Halfords. Cheers Rich

In Brief ... A glaze is a very mild polish or even non abbrassive product. Can fill swirl marks, gives a nice gloss, depth and wet look to the paint. A polish does just that, polishes your paint. These can vary in abbrassive levels in order of what defects need to be removed. The correct grade...

No real need to re-wash unless you have been clying while the car is wet using car shampoo. If done using the QD in the kit, go straight to the Super Resin

It is meant to be used on Paintwork, so it will be fine on Alloys, much more freindly then Acid based wheel cleaners.

Shop around for a better price mate. Should be available for around the 75/80 quid mark. Even my local place charges 90 quid all in.

Sounds handy, more info on this and weather they sell one for a MK2 would also be appreciated.

Re: Discovered my 172 is a Import Lots of insurance companies have asked the question when giving quotes recently - is it a UK car. Guess the possible lack of alarm, locking wheel nuts, window etchings could demand a higher premium?

Welcome to paid up CS!

Yeah I know the comapany you mean found then and got fooled by the co.uk web address. http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ have a decent range of pads and backing plates. Alex at Serious Performance does the Megs pad, and CS discount.

Never had any problems with O2 either, Started with them when they where BT Cellnet to, Did go to Orange for a year, when everyday 50 came about, but the signal was sh*t at home and work all the time, so went back to them. Still none the wiser what to choose upgrade wise so going to wait.

I have till the 22nd so I will be shopping around till then!

Re: Discovered my 172 is a Import How much have you payed towards it already, deposit or more?

What have you found over here to go for? The beauty of the PC is the backing plate is changeable so it can run 4, 5 or 6 inch pad set up's. The Autopia Pads are good value but there are other UK companies selling pads now, Clean and Shiny, Serious Performance and Motorgeek.

Its the mircrofiber that gets damaged by the fabric sofetners, causes the fibres to stick together. Foam should be fine, I wash mine in a bowel with Fairy Liquid. Wash them through with that just in case if your worried.
