I thought i had made the wrong choice with black gold as I had only seen it on a dull damp day. It did just look black. The moment I saw it in the sun I knew I had made the right choice. It would have been Artcic blue if not black for me. I liked the yellow and infereno but both a bit bright...

Just mailed you Brazo - will do paint sealants and wax next, may as well do them together explain the differences/ combos etc.

Sponge pads work well for most products, if you polishing and trying to remove marks by hand and the pads are not really working, try a cotton towel foldered into a pad, works a treat. For removing use the best quality microfiber towels you can. Brazo - Washing and drying well under way.

Black gold paint is looking sweet, that last pic has just told me I have chosen the right colour!

Also looked and drove the cooper S before ordering the 182, I couldnt have lived with the minis interior full stop.

Vanilla Moose hand galze is very very mild. It will fill more defects wit the oils in it than remove them. I used it most weeks in the summer. I think you couls use iy eveyweek for life on your car and never have a problem. The moose wax is a cleaner/plish and wax in one. Id say stick to the...

Finish is quite semi-gloss for the rubber plus or Glossy looking with the vinyl and rubber. Have look on the Autoglym website for the local trade supplier in your area, give him/her a call and save your self some money buying larger sizes. They have a few vans that do the rounds and will...

Autoglym Rubber Plus ( Trade Product) or Autoglym Super Sheen ( Trade version of Vinyl and Rubber)

Just re-read you post If they are down to the primer or even colour layer (general rule is if its deep enough to catch you nail in or is through the laquer on a 2 part finish) no amont of polishing will remove them you only option is paint and/ or laquer. By polsihing you are leveling up the...

If the swirl marks are not to deep you may get them out by hand with some elbow grease. If they are bad a machine finish is the only real option. I have had success with Meguiars Speed Glaze and Scratch X in the past. But its worth Checking out the Poorboys swirl removers as they are meant to...

Lets us know if you need a hand Brazo

Part number for the 182 Cup Badges is 7711 275 708 per pair.

Its about 3 quid per litre from Vauxhall

At least the splitters in the car, why do they never fit these????

Sonax is available from all Vauxhall dealers, if they dont carry it all can order it, and now Shell garages. The Sonax seems to foam up better and leave a better gloss. Both seem to rinse off as well.

I love VM and EX, two of my fave ever products good choice. Nxt wash is really good too, I cant decide between that or Sonax as to which i like best. I would def recommend P21s/Clearkote/Megs#16 over Zymol or Swissol. Spent 3 years wasting money before i saw the light. [Edited by r-jay-cup...

Nice- What did you go for in the end? Glad you like them. Alex is a top guy to deal with. Cant wait for March 01 - really getting withdrawl symptoms need to clean!:p We will sort out a MF group buy in the spring from Pakshak. [Edited by r-jay-cup on 1/19/2005 4:44:20 PM]

You need to look carefully at your wash and polishing methods to ensure your not making swirl marks in your paint. What are you using to wash and polish with at the moment? Apply polishes and waxes in up and down, top to bottem movements on vertical panels and front to back on the roof and...

6 disc is a option. Air Con is Std.

I like autoglym engine and machine cleaner, Shifts stubborn muck and is not acid based like all the purpose made wheel cleaners are - so its kind on your alloy paintwork.

It worried me that a brand new car in there showroom would be marked up like that, if a car in the showroom had those marks, what about our cars when delivered?

Went past the dealer yesterday and I have the same car as I ordered too in the showroom! Couldnt believe it, neither could I believe all the marks on it, loads of scratches round the drivers side wheel arch on the rear quarter panel. Was shocked to see a car like that in there showroom, hope...

12.6 from the dealer. Black gold 182 with both cup packs.

Good choice...Im waiting for the same car, same colour and same day too.

You have just lost your car! :)

No just have a regular a few cars a month, stuck in an office all week.
