Why those tyres? I ran 205s on my Clio, but it was a 1.2 with spacers and lowered and had no issues... Conti 3s, PE2/3s, lots of other choices out there.

Agreed. Although I know I'd still do it.

I can't comment as shite as it looks. My car had a Renault Sport badge on the back of a 1.2...

Yes, but it won't last. Since you're shopping online, look at Chem Guys New Look Trim Gel, 303 Aerospace protectant or the bob standard AG Bumper Care.

C4 is the ultimate, agreed. However, I wouldn't advise it for Todd, as it means explaining cleaning and IPA etc. However, the results against Chem Guys New Look Trim Gel speak for themselves (around the letters in CGNLTG and the rest is C4);

It's good for shows. But doesn't last at all. Oh, and its exactly the same chemical as the vinyl and rubber care, so use it on your rubber window seals as well.

Plain, clearly doesn't move, let alone handle and a waste of a good car.

Todd, search for Polished Bliss. Then read ALL of their guides. There will be a test tomorrow morning and you are not allowed to post another single thread until you've read them.

Lol J, medicci99. Christ. Todd, the one you linked to in the other thread, where I explained the differences between the polishes. So the first one in J's post. You will also need spot pads in the same colours/makes and a spot pad backing plate.

Christ Todd, search or update one of the other threads for pity sake!

Top notch! Skillz boyo!

Houston, we have a problem. Call for Danny's Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I enter? Wait I can't. Wait now I can. Nope, wheel's done 1/7th of a turn, I'm out again.

Not at all my friend, I was under the impression you did have superior hands... That's what Alan has told me anyway...

Why has AR put superior hands in quotation marks?

Lol.

600? Fook. Different PDGs lad; http://www.defelsko.com/applications/paint-thickness-on-plastic.htm IIRC the 200 is good for plastics, the 600 is good for metals. Hence the different PDGs in Clark's threads.

Nope, variable.

Correct. You'd be amazed at the ranges of readings on a car as well. From a far they look perfect, get up close with the PDG and I've seen 72-372 on the same car. Think one of Jim's posts on a car a while back had near to 1000! Or maybe it was Clark from PB... can't remember now...

It varies Gaz. You can get them to read different levels of clearcoat, primer etc but that comes up as a calculation on the screen.

Yes I would suggest so. The idea of removing swirls, Todd, is to do it with the least amount of paint removal possible... So detailers always start with the least aggressive polish they can. However, with a DA you will not be removing anything like enough paint for this to worry you. The 3.02...

What does better mean? 3.02 is a stronger, more cutting polish. The 85 is then a refining polish. The 203s is better suited to VAG/BMW paint which are hard.

You mean for the wheels Flex? I hadn't really covered that tbh, but good point.

Yeah remember you saying you were going to test :) Silvery grey doesn't count as a colour though ;)

Yes. Lambswool over MF (Richy will argue here) because it traps the dirt better and holds it off the surface, whereas an MF mitt holds it on the surface of the glove, thereby washing around your bodywork.

Oh and a lambswool wash mitt, not a MF one.

SRP is good to have for wheels etc, but not necessary in the above list. You don't need Demon Shine. Sealent for you, get Chemical Guys Blitz Spray sealent. Will last ages and looks good. Applicators, get some foam applicators in your order from I4Detailing. Polishing pad, the Orange Lake...

Agree with the above. Friend had a similar issue with a 2.5k Focus. Small bump, but the price for new parts, fitting and spraying came to the same amount. Rip off, but hey, new car.

OK. But doesn't have to be my approval lad, but get what you're looking for. Post it up and we can have a looky and advise.

Clio's are soft.
