3M Tape

Car  Mito Sportiva 135
Just a quick one guys, I know you can get 3M tape online but don't really need anything else, does anyone know any highstreet retailers on anything that stock it?

Cheers.
 
No mate, I looked all over Cambridge but didnt have any joy.

You can buy it from Clean & Shiny, Johnny is a good bloke and delivery is really fast.

Hope this helps
 
Yeah its a bit of a mare! Will drop him a message and see what he says, just don't want to end up paying for loads of stuff I don't need right now.

Cheers.
 
3m masking tape? try any art supplies shop, signwriters or bodyshops.

3m double sided tape try signwriters.

also look up companies such as tessa
 
Local motor factors - I get mine form Brown Brothers.

Also any bodyshop paint suppliers that sell 3M stuff should cary it, look on the 3M site for local ones.

Also B&Q do there own brand blue painters tape if you get really stuck. I would just use normal stuff white stuff though anyway if need be.
 
Cool thanks for the suggestions guys! I have got some stuff leftover but left some residue first time I used it so just prefer the blue stuff if I can get it. Think I have sold myself short though, a guy with a £30k Evo Type VIII is selling it and wanted a machine polish just to improve things rather than make it perfect, and stupidly agreed to do it for £60 AND I have to drive there, as he is a friend of a best friend. Think I may need to renegotiate, I was half asleep when I spoke to him lol!

As long as he does not expect miracles and defect correction as such it will be ok.

A pc and a good polish will still rejuvenate his paintwork and make it look loads better.
Make sure you use a good paint cleanse afterwards (Swissvax/Zymol HD) and a good wax and he will be over the moon:)
 
That's the thing - he just seems keen to get as much for his money as he can. I asked him to send me some photos but don't really show too much paint detail but by sounds of things it is badly swirled. I think £60 for driving to his house, wash, clay, polish using Menzerna IP and FF then SRP is very reasonable, especially as I will be doing wheels, tyres, plastics and maybe arches too. Not going to bother waxing too for £60, at the end of the day he can afford it if he wants it, not going to waste hours and hours especially as I don't know the guy myself. Plus it is black!

Extremely resonable, I'd want at least £200
 
^^ yeah me 2, fair play will u do mine for 60 notes lol.

Ha NOOO. Like I said I was half asleep and just kind of plucked a figure out the air, it will cost me at least £10 to get there and back too in petrol. Think I am just going to say I need more and if he doesn't like it then he can get a nice local Kosovan to do it.

At the end of the day I'm not working hard all day for £60 when it will add a lot more than that to the value of the car.
