I do somewhere, i think there at home, ill put some up this evening,
tip that i found was before you go ahead with polishing wheels, give it a good scrub with an emery cloth, and also before you go to polishing wheels, you want it as smooth as possible with hardly and scratches, otherwise the polish just sits in there.
Your doing a dam good job so far! be carefull around the renault sport letters though as there so soft!
When youve finsihed , keep topping it up with a bit of autosol every so often as the metal can mark quite easy then you have to do it all again!
Keep up the good work fella

nah its fine like that, aslong as you just have a good coverage of polish its fine, and stays nice n 'blingy', things like oil marks tend to be a basted
Here's my work in progress. Where can I get those coloured hose covers? Just want to get some to tide me over until I have the spare reddies for some samco's.
Your a brave man posting a picture of an induction kit thats non standard or a maxogen on cliosport. Hats off to ya.
Am I due a slagging?
I can't make my mind up on what kit to get as this one was on it when I bought it.
So, before anyone starts, I'd just like to say..... F U C K OFF!
You may get a light ribbing from the 'maxogen brigade;.
Cost me £55 to get the inlet, fuel rail guard, throttle bodie, and engine mount polished at a place in nottigham imo not even worth trying yourself for the price it cost compared to the finish you get, real good nice guy to deal with aswel, will let you drive there take it off, he will polish it then refit it, or you can post aswel.
