This had better be the daily so you can buy the Clio TT :dapprove:

It just kicked (the back) in y0!

f**k YOU I HAVE 4x4!!!!!!!!!

This is very true. Wheels off job for a prraaapppppperrrr jaaabbbbb for us lot!

Be it the right decision or the wrong decision "in my spare time I did the Cambelt etc" puts me off. Oil, fine. Billy doing the cambelt in his spare time. No thanks.

Sounds good. Worth watching a few videos on youtube and having a read of this; http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=63859

Lol at slop and arch gap jokes.

On the Panzer family, I swear by it for mid range correction and, as Jim has done, haze removal. For larger defects, 3.02 IP is my next stop, on the same pad or a higher cut pad. Also to note, they are not oily like the Megs 80/83 twins that I started out with on the French mobile.

Kev, re your email, I find the 3M vs 203s very easy to use. Similarly to 3.02 IP with the Menz Orange pads. I haven't found a decent working polish that doesn't dust, but these are certainly not on the SRP dust levels - far from it!

Lovely Jim, glad you spotted the backing plate issue! Had a friend MMS me last night with a picture of a disaster waiting to happen, very similar to your photo! re the C4, it really is a wonderful product. I am (secretly) hoping my photo wins the competition as I am very up for buying/testing...

Once you've bought it, you can use it with all your future cars. And your family's cars. And your friends cars etc. You will "grow" into new polishes, pads, waxes, machines etc. Welcome to the slippery slope!

With no idea on the standard plate, we have no idea whether it could mean anything to anyone. A little bit more info might help...

Finally Mikey! No I can teach you how to use the PC via Facetime! Oh wait... lol ;)

Wow they look nice and healthy buddy :S As above, for the sake of the cost, I'd change them and be done with it.

Epic!

Bum Time By Markie?

Wash, clay, wash, dry, polish, wax/seal. The reason for leaving the car wet when you clay is so that you keep a bit of lubrication between the paint and the clay bar. You will need to use clay lube anyway (comes with the kits mentioned above) but this just adds to it to make it as safe as poss.

Bah, juicy chuddy from Matt pwns!

Shush you ;) Oh and I'm going to send you a "you were right" PM in a sec, diseasel related ;) Claying is the use of, as it sounds, a piece of clay. Clay has very sharp microscopic "blades" that cut across the surface of the paint. Anything that sticks up, out of place of the flat paint surface...

Or buy Dodo Juice Born to be Mild from Matt; http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?536832-DODO-JUICE-Oct-SALE-15-OFF

No issue buddy, all here to help. Claying is done to remove microscopic contaminants off the paint surface. Think about a razor on your paint surface "cutting" all the lumps of sap, tar and fallout. It helps to make the surface "glass smooth". No to the Fairy - this is chatter about whether...

Missed that one! Wheel brush is a good idea, have you clayed the car before?

Try not to limit yourself like this buddy. Simple fact is, not all suppliers will have the products you are after. I still have to shop at three different places. I would decide on what you want, find all you need from one store, the rest from the next. It's the only way to do it.

I wouldn't get the tech wax. What do you want, long lasting, looks or both? The Megs polishes are OK, but the Menzerna polishes are better and easier to use (IMO).

Dan, from the supplier; "doesn't seem to affect it too bad if a relatively weak concentration. stronger concentrations will compromise longevity though." "If it's a caustic tfr used almost neat then I'd say it'd compromise the finish. Surlely if he picks something that's non caustic and uses...

Slap Dash!

Agreed, but you will also need spot pads and a spot pad backing plate for the A/B pillars.

The black one on DW Kev? Agreed on EGP. Remember I put on a really thick layer when I first bought it. The Clio had more swirls after trying to remove it than it did before correction!

First off, I'm glad this has attracted some attention for Rob's product as it really is superb. Dan, that I don't know, but I can ask if you'd like? No problem Jim, really worth it for cars that you have upkeep contracts with, as this will cut your finishing time in half. As Gally says...

Bought one bottle buddy. Used about half, but defo too much. Could have used less but got round all rubbers and plastics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
