I did ask to have unlocked to edit it/and to it but can't it myself chap. At least you've sorted it. And echo Steves comments about how good the car looks! Thumbs up from this end lad!

And, your post on the guide seems to have gone... Would you post it up again lad? Thanks.

Where? We'll get it removed as that is just insane.

And why on earth would you use 600 grit??? As Dave has said, work up through the grades.

Good to see the joke thread actually gave some good suggestions!

Perfectly acceptable, but no where near as effective as Tardis.

As above. There are specific matt black waxes, but for wheels this isn't really necessary. Poorboys wheel seal will do you just fine.

OP, remember that you are working with plastic. It's not soft. For the size of area, you will require a harder compound than SRP. SRP by machine might, MIGHT, have the cut required, but you are doing by hand. The process should be 1500 grit (as the absolute max), 2000, 3000, polish by machine...

Jay, give it a rinse over. If you can, wash it, especially the wheels. The BS I was referring to was the rest of the garbage ;)

It won't do any harm. Your friend is being overly cautious, which in detailing is not a bad thing. If you have rocks on your car's paint work, agreed, don't move them around with a pressure washer. But grit will fall off before being pushed around, unless you fire the PW up the car. I tend to...

Yes seriousness is a word. SRP has the lowest amount of cut possible from polishes on the market today. If the OP would like to spend hours/days/weeks with that product, that's perfectly acceptable. But it's not the best suggestion fella, let's be honest.

Very much so chap, always appreciate a laugh on a Saturday afternoon.

20 with a 200, lovely! Well played! And an ST with 300hp at 19ish is pretty impressive! Hate to think what your insurance is!

Lol.

One thing you will want is an armrest. Makes the interior!

As long as you're cheerful ;)

Lol at the last bit! We've all been there son!! My last excuse was to take my other half with me!!

Little bit of an old thread, but just a bump to say how good Admiral are. Long story short, one accident last year sorted without a fuss (fairly large payout to fix a car), when we moved at the start of the year it was for a saving of almost £2k (five cars all with Zurich Premiere before that)...

And he rocks in with the best colour for the ph1. Well played MishMish!

9 months old. Because I could afford it.

The cleaner wax is not good as polishes go, but better than nothing. You mustn't be worried about polishing, by hand you are not going to do any harm to the paint work unless you are realllllllllyyyyy stupid! Super Resin would be OK, maybe Lime Prime if you can?

Lovely lovely lovely chap :) One of the best colours as well.

You should always wash the car AND polish after claying, in my eyes. At least use a paint cleanser that will give the wax a good surface to bond to. What wax are you using?

Once back, paint cleanse and seal them with a decent alloy wheel sealant and you won't need Bilberry. Ever.

Todd's taking his time, so;

Don't dilute. If it's going in a spray bottle you will need a chemical resistant head.

I rarely use Natty's Blue other than occasional use in the Summer, but I regularly get it out and give it a sniff. Cue the jokes.

Lol. Saw this coming a mile off. Watch this; Bilberry Wheel Cleaner...

Lol at their name, I might not like half of their product line, but their marketing is absolutely brilliant! Not tried it yet fella. DW post?
