When the weather gets better lets arrange a day I can give you a hand. You need to clay the paint first tho which can be time consuming if done right. Anyone else want to join us? Am quite happy to let anyone have a go of the PC on their car too. Lee www.detailperfection.com | ||

Been looking into getting one for a while, saw a guy locally on DW selling a complete kit with transformer for £130 so the mrs bought it me for my bday. Ok that'll be good. Planning on doing mine when i have had the front end done; No point wasting time doing the bonnet if its going to be painted! Yep ive clayed the car a couple of times already; i just use megs quick clay. very mild but easy to use and providing the car isnt too bad i find it gives good results.

No harm in detailing round it tho. What wax have you choosen? I use Victoria Red at the moment gives a nice wet look. Collinite No. 476s Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax is also very good for dark colours. www.detailperfection.com | ||

I've just gone for all poorboys products at the moment, its cheap and thought it would get me started. Im obviously no professional so i wont be achieving perfect results. I think the wax is called Nattys Paste?! Sold : 2002 Dark Silver&Black Cooper S - Loved It! Now : 2000 TT Coupe 225 - Loads of mods already | ||
