Hope all goes well tommorrow.
Remember to make sure you get all the manuals, warrenty book, cat 1 alarm cert, and AA cover bits.
Most importantly enjoy.
Super resin is very mild in cut, you could use it every week and have no problems.
Any pure carnuba wax needs applying to a pre-polished suface, weather it be the recommended same brand product or your own personal preference. All the wax does is seal the paint there is no cleaning, swirl...
Welcome to the club. Had my 182 since beginning off March to, also need to book it in for its first visit back :( was you temp gauage doing the dodgy up and downs?
Some sealants are fine over oily polishes and glazes, eg Poorboys Exs or Wolfgang Sealant. The really durable ones Zaino, Autoglym or Klasse, only work well over a properly prepared base. In the case of Extra gloss it wont bond to the stage 2 Meguiars polish.
My suggestion would be Meguiars...
Laser detector needs to have line off sight and not be obscured. I brought the 5m cable as have a few others on here and have it sat next to the rear shelf after recommendations of other users on here.
Agree with Daz on the postioning, the manual goes into about two pages explaining why it is important to place it correctly to allow any chance off the laser alert saving you.

Got the Road Angel 2, tried ot a mates Snooper before I brought it, only thing I liked about the S4 over the RA2 was the fact that it told you the roads speed limit. Went for the RA2 tho as overall i prefered it.
The RA2 will work in a 172/182 but will sit a bit to low for the front laser...
What where the symptoms Doigy?
Mine has started playing up when being started from between warm and cold, and have been suggested the temp sensor, but I havent notice the up and down gauage like others. Am dreading taking mine in.
The Zymol may cost a lot off money but, it wont last long or give much protection.
With the exception of the Collinite you will be looking realistically at 30 days max protection from a carnuba wax over here. Meguiars #16 lasts fairly well, most others such as Souveran or P21s, really are...
There is wire that should attach to the handbrake to prevent it being used in motion but this is easily by passed by attaching it it to ground if I remember.
I had thet same unit in my old car, will come out regardless off a dvd player plugged in.
Mine didnt like to open if it had not been used for a long time, I had to gently pull it while pressing the open button to unsieze it once or twice. It will slide out then flip up.
