Travel to see Mikey aka Bifcaids in Warrington?

Decent quality make up pads Jon. The S3 has it on at the moment. Arches are still clean from 4 months ago. Body work, springs and shocks are wearing FK with no yellowing... Maybe put it on too thick? It doesn't work on tyres that well, sadly!

Bad times but you're ok bud so that's a relief. Even I can't help with your paint work this time ;) hoping all is well mate.

Even better my way. Free from Argos but with a 3 year plan (jail)... /rioter

The simple answer is that I wanted to meet more of the CS lot, which I managed to do with offering it as a service to club members. However, I knew from dealing with Aston and a few others that I would immediately want to cover myself. Doing cars for friends and family is one thing. For...

QD rather sealant would probably have been the right phrase, but who's splitting hairs... Tried this and for an entry level wax it really is perfectly acceptable. More than that actually. Still a fan of the Nattys though!

I'm going to start forwarding on the questions I get fella. You have to laugh!

Getz ya selfs a long 2 da Manc meat, ya here me bruv? On a serious note, thread above this, Manchester meet, 3rd September, other arrangements TBC.

Re: Big Manchester Meeting. Date: TBA. Oooh OOOOOHHH I'm around on the first weekend of September! NoseBag 241 pub meal meet extravaganza?

A decent wipe down with IPA will suffice, so wash, dry, clay, wash, dry, polish, IPA wipe down to remove filling oils, C2. The point Dave made was that all Last Stage Products last infinitely longer if the surface is optimum for their bonds. So a wipe down with IPA will remove polish and oils...

Fair that you are talking from previous experience, but so am I. The experience of "I read this thread, followed it and now have knackered X". The furring that occurs on Clio headlamps is very very light. Therefore, anything other than starting out with 2000 is un-necessary (based on doing 19...

A more in depth answer from Dave, as per these days ;) As above Tom. Due to lacking time and space for detailing these days, C2 really is a god send.

G101 at 4:1 removed delivery wax on dad's R8 to my surprise, still swear by it. H'email.

Faith has nothing to do with it. You're still wrong in a number of respects. Firstly, the grade used there is 800, granted. But did you see the state of the lights? Secondly, it's used by an air pressure rotary drill. So will be a more evenly prepped surface. Have you wet sanded by machine and...

We're talking car paint, not the wax on your legs sweety.

Clay and cleansers will remove wax. Granted. But not in hard to reach areas. Therefore as someone has suggested, a soak down/snow foam of decent strength APC will clear previous layers. G101 is an excellent example of such.

P1 is a polish. You don't apply it, rather work it as you would a polish. I've used it only a handful of times and like it by hand. Yet to try it by machine as I don't have my kit in London. C2 is epic. Spray on a panel at a time and buff off. That's it. Also works well on plastics, glass...

I completely and utterly disagree.

Lol, that's the first time I've heard that song... Holy crap.

Still love these. Friend's father had an Avus Silver one on a Y reg. Twin turbo 2.7. Gorgeous.

Thanks Donny. But yes, currently in London. Pm Mikey aka Bifcaids.

I wouldn't have mentioned G3 as I hate the stuff. But on headlights it's not so bad I guess. Personally I would be looking at 2000 then 3000 grit wet and dry. Then polish up using scratch x or menz IP3.02 or 203s.

Kev, we're turning him. Ever so little by little - but it's happening...

Bad times!

Nor do I. I detail it once a year. In fact I probably spend less time washing my car for it to look 10x better than yours/you do.

I've fk1000p'd it ;)

You're comparing washing your face to washing a car? So you wash once a week? Oooooft.

Yes. But thanks for playing...

But Roy, I am irrational. A lot of people are in their own little way. I see swirls in my bathroom sink and think I need a new one. I used rainx on my shower so the water beads off it and I don't have to see lime scale deposits... I have no qualms with people thinking I'm weird. I came to...

Your skin needs to breathe, clever clogs.
