The S16 was 155 bhp using the old mi 16 derived engine. Xsi 16v was a detuned gti 6 lump.

Williams as its special, if not 106 Gti as they handle better than the 6.

std 5 speed.

Mines on order for March 01 Delivery 12.6.

If the Tar remover has not worked I would be tempted to use some thinners or panel wipe from a bodyshop.

Which 182, Cup or full fat?

Meguiars deep cyrstal polish is very mild, more off a glaze and wont remove the swirls. I would start off with some Super Resin Polish first if that does not work, look at some Meguirs Scratch X, Swirl Free or Speed Glaze pro oline polishes. As for waxing the wax should follow the sealant to...

Vannila Moose is more of a hand glaze, needs to be sealed in with something. Its more off a beauty/look typre product. VM with EX -p is a great looking combo.

What didnt you like about ex? Vanilla moose, EX, topped with P21s looks great. For durability during winter how about Autoglym resin and gloss topped with P21s, a better option than Carnuba alone this time off year.

According to reviews its the most durable carnuba out there. Personally I would go for a good sealant and top it with an easy to use carnuba.

Not heard any reports about it being hard to use, cant be any worse than Megs Gold Glass!!! Never one I have tried myself. It will be more work than P21s, but It is supposed to be very durable. Alex at serious performance uses it, ask him before you order. [Edited by r-jay-cup on 1/27/2005...

Paid 40 quid plus vat to get some dents out of my roof on my old car by dentsplus. As stated aboue the go under the rooflining. One guy round here is now using a new technique with hot glue so even double skinned panels can be done.

My votes also for a late non cat 205 1.9 Gti.

In the Catologue it lists Artic Blue and Liquid yellow in the 3 car pack. Be nice if they did a black Gold one.

If i have been using cotton towels and Microfibers, I wash them seperatley to.

I machine wash MFs on there own on a low heat, with liquid deteregent, no fabric softener. Wash the pads in the sink by hand with fairy liquid, cuts through the wax a treat.

I would drop Alex a call or an email before ordering. I always do this get a price and then make the cheque out.

Yeah Alex does Cliosprt discount dont forget to ask. EX-p just apply it to a panel at a time and remove or to the whole car and remove. A few people say the depth is better if you leave it on 30 mins or so, not noticed myself. Yeah just apply like another polish or wax..in straight lines is...

Its quite thick, a little blob on the pad goes along way and spreads well. Basically blurb to say you dont use much per car.

In the order you have them. For best results do 2 costa of ex-p and then a coat of Carnuba Moose 24 hours later.

Oops seen car is black, Clearkote Carnuba Moose IMO

P21s or clearkote Carnuba Moose Wax, depending on your cars colour. Gold glass wax has cleaners and will remove products below.

Nice one, I have the 9833 out of my old car waiting to go in the 182 when it arrives, need to get hold of those and an ipod adapter and its ready to go it.

Megs towels - Thats the towels I use to apply polish when removing swirls by hand. Best off with foam or microfiber hand pads for normal polishing, wax and sealant applications [Edited by r-jay-cup on 1/23/2005 11:32:06 AM]
