In the last week I've gone from nowt to: AG Shampoo, AG Bumper & Trim, PB's White Diamond and Natty's wax and some asda drying towel's after seeing them here.
Just ordered some G4.
Still some real stubborn stuff on my paint so next up is some clay.
Had a crack at my headlights today. Stepped up through various grades to 2000. Finished them up with Scratch-X. Looking absolutely gorgeous.
Then as soon as wiped with microfibre cloth as per the instructions they instantly cloud up. Almost like a condensation.
Kyle 86 suggested some G4 for...
Managed to get one headlight restored with some sheets from halfords but need more and a finer grain to finish the job.
Found this site, 50p a pop. All grades and can buy as many or as few or you want.
Just got 8x1000, 6x1200, 4x1500, 4x2000 for £13.59...
There is a guy in this thread does retrimming and apparently has done it for members here via proxy. Works at bentley but no pics of his work. £120 plus postage for full leather retrim.
Pretty great value compared to carbon thumb inserts...
Definitely my biggest pet peeve. Agreed Dan, Someone should fill that gap. Wasn't there someone on here once reupholstering steering wheels in leather?

Been speaking to Dan just...

Wahey, 2 people just over the bridge form me. And, Bath ain't too much further either. I'm actually working in Bristol atm.
Cheers for the warm welcome guys. I managed to grab a few pic's off a quick charge. As you can see warm weather + country lanes has read to a bit of a dirty bumper...
Hey Guys,
Picked up my 03' 172 on Friday and loving it so far. 50k Miles, recent cam belt replacement, FSH, etc, etc.
Seems to be running great so all is good. :race:

Look forwards to hanging around.
Cheers...
