I swear you employ your kids, Dan - there is no way anyone else could go from before to after in the time and detail you appear to manage on your own. Impressive, fella. As always!

I haven't chap, no. I'd be tempted to stick with the stuff you know is good. But then again, we'd not move on if no one stepped away from the tried and tested! Let us know what you think if you do bite the bullet.

A buddy who has just moved to the US has also bought one, good choice.

You don't actually need W&D - it's to speed up the process. You can get perfect results with a machine polisher only.

You didn't work up at all? Christ, Ian - there are going to be a heck of a lot of scratches in the plastic, fella. Most likely irreparable too. 2000. Yes, it takes time. But the simple fact is, anything lower and you'll not get the marks out. This is plastic, not paint. There are no layers...

Direct from the Halfords website; "The Halfords Wet & Dry 240 Grit Paper is made of silicone carbide paper for a professional finish on metal"

240 grit?! Holy hell. Did you have that left over from sanding down metal? God forbid someone follows your advice.

Looks jolly good! Well done!

That was the first recent post after the one in this thread... ;)

You are filling more than polishing, with SRP. You won't damage it.

I heard Luca as amassed more automotive knowledge in the last few months than his dad has over a lifetime? Love TDK and your inability to let it go, regardless of the issues she throws at you. Hope you're well pal.

Echo Danielsan. Brilliant work. Lovely car Chi!

The German applicators are great. And goes along with my point about different foams (density etc).

Not sure that the exhaust will add much real power fella. It'll just sound better but that's contrary to the point of it being a sleeper!

Joe will correct me if I'm wrong, but I've found for pure polishing, the different grades of sponge (much like pads for DA) work best. For an all in one product like Tripple, MF is better. And re waxing, feel the difference between a polish hand pad foam and the Megs or other brand foam...

Is it not the DP and cats that restrict the flow, over the OEM exhaust? I would suggest swapping those out to a larger bore version before changing the exhaust to something loud and non-sleeper-esque.

I would be worried using a Ceramic Sealant over a single coat paint surface, in that it could leave a different finish. I'd be tempted to go with something like C2V3 or Reload on this. It will work well over Tripple.

I always use to swear by the Lake County Hand Cut polishing pads, but they have been updated to the following...

Cheers!

Alright alright lol. Typed up on the iPad and edited with the iphone to add the pics in is my usual method. Too slow this time haha!

Very late in the day, I know. Very busy few weeks! Anyway, Illusion. I love this wax. Now my only Summer wax. And works beautifully over a bare base or my other fav (and as requested in this test) over Tripple. First up, dust removal via hose, QD and drying towel, as the car was only washed...

Followed it. I don't need to really ask this, but presume you're happy? The OP doesn't elude to much!

That's the badger!

Could have sworn there was a thread for this already, as I posted in it... oh well. Great creative from an ad man PoV (wrap around, may have to reload the page a few times), but looks bloody mean! Presume this will be some sort of Nismo kit, but great looking thing all the same...

Based on your inability to string a coherent sentence together, your "mam" clearly over indulged?

Hoping that's not a serious post.

Difficult one. A cover would be best, but for the moment, a well protected car should ensure it's easy to clean each time. If you can't prevent (i.e. move the car, cover it, garage etc) make sure it's protected by a decent wax or sealant and when you come to wash it, pre spray and jet wash...

Looks good and... OK, it is sluggish, but a good option none-the-less.

Do they not do a "sporty" diesel version any more, Luke? Like the R26 lookalikes?
