OK has to be the 75th thread on black cars this week ;)
NOOOOOOOOO to Tcut!!!!!!
If you want the car look new again, suggest getting someone to Machine Polish it for you as this will remove all of the scrathes on the surface.
If you are aiming at certain bad scratches, I recommend Meguiars...
One of the best condition and best looking cars out there. Shame to see her go, but Vee is stunning and will, I'm sure, keep that grin firmly on your face!!
Yes now these are a common problem on the non sport models sadly. I think that you can literally remove the rubber and replace it, as I have taken mine off before, although not recently!
Not liking the gold one bit . . . but the quality of work appears to be just incredible. Great dedication lad, really impressivo!! Also, where is that carbon fibre? I can't work out which part of the car that is!!
Edit; roof, just got that the glass is the sun roof lol! Thought it might be the...

The other thing, is that it cuts down your "I think I'll give it a quick polish"...
There is a good guide in the guides section, for getting a PC frmo america. There is also a good guide to detailing that Rich had written up.
Re machine polishing, easy does it is the key. The best option is to use the most non abrasive polish and pad first time round. You are very unlikely to...
AS above, people seem to be raving about Bilberry Wheel Cleaner at the moment.
I haven't tried it myself, but Andy (clio-coby) seems to get on well with it.
Once the wheels are clean, I would suggest taking them off, claying them, polishing them with Super Resin Polish (SRP) and then sealing...
You shouldn't really wax lights should you? I was told be a fairly reliable source that the waxes would react to the light/temps . . . ? Could be wrong!
