[soepy]

Thank you all for your help - order placed.

Im justifying it as protecting my investment.

Also, having seen my car in the briefest of sunshine, i feel shamed into getting it.

(sh*t, black is hard to look after).

Anyone have a clue when i can expect it - or more precisely, will it be here for the weekend?

 

[182_blue]

it may be here at the weekend, mine took 3 days, but to be sure your looking at early next week, they send you details and you can check on were your item is

 

[182_blue]

you got some polish for it, ps dont forget the transformer

 

[soepy]

yes (meguiar gold) and nope i aint.

what type of transformer is it and from where, bluey?

 

[mr sheep]

ps get some meguiars # 80 for general swirl/mark removal, and meguiars #83 for problem areas, you can also use megs scratch x for bad marks

 

[bsimmer3000]

so is their much point in these things for a car with new paint work. i would be well worried about covering the car with swirl marks. but they do bring up old cars well by the looks of it.

 

[182_blue]

i even polished my windows with some autoglym window polish and my pc, it got them really really clean,and the usual wiper marks and water spots have gone

 

[mr sheep]

shaun would you advise not to use scratch x all over the car?

its fairly aggresive so i wouldnt use it on the whole car, although i know of people who have, i would say try megs#80, if that doesnt do it use megs #83, i would be suprised if you need more than those
