[Justin]

nice one! once you start using it, you will probably not put it down for a good few hours!

 

[Graham Gooch]

Lol the first step is the hardest, which is why mine has sat in a box for 2months unused. Just dont see the point in gleaming paint in weather. Once spring arrives I'm gonna tackle it

yeah thats what im thinking, im gonna slowly get everything together over the next for weeks, read up on the best methods and which products to use
then attack it when this crappy rainy weather stops.
ive got plenty to practive on tho, the family have already given me free rain on the clio, saab 9-3, TT, TVR an S4 lol

[Rich]

I did loads of cars before I touched the 182. I was (un)lucky that I had a Sh*tbox Micra runabout at the time to really give it some welly on the bonnet lol

[Leeshez]

really impressed with the delivery time as i ordered it monday and it came from the states 2day

Still waiting for mine which I ordered on the 3rd, but top marks to Autopia - I contacted them about it who immediately sent me the ParcelFuckup tracking number, who have had it and sat on it since the 5th. I could slap them idiots! They screwed up my Cleanandshiny delivery as well! Who now use Interlink to deliver to me as I complained that ParcelForce always were and still are a waste of space - top guys!

thats not fun

to be honest i was surprised it was here so soon, i wasnt in so the parcel force guy left it being the side gate for me

Use it with a 4 inch sot pad, either the light cut or the polishing pad, I normally use it with the White Polishing pad.

interlink are quality. ive never had a problem and they always deliver goods with care.

parcelforce are sh*t.

 

[Darren]

good luck wi it mate, cracking things once you learn how to use them (not sayin i am a pro lol)

 

[JR]

how much was all of the kit that came from the states bud ? pm me if you want.

 

[JD]

hmmm never had a prob with parcel force and now swear by them, then again i used city link for a while until i was told (after lots of f**kups) that a mate used to wrk for them and they played footy with boxes most of the time. wtf.

autopia are great, nice little letter with mine saying hope tis all good and deal with again etc.

and now the car is a mirror. cheers again to blue

jamie

 

[Thomss]

Good stuff dude! Enjoy it! Great tool to have

 

[Jay]

Another one who is gonna get the PC bug!

Enjoy it matey

 

[DH_GTI]

looks good stuff, roll on summer !!

 

[Eddieb]

Champion, let us know how you get on with it. What polishes have you ended up going for?

mines still sat in the box... probs not going to use it until March/April time.

 

[makavelli]

im starting with the poorboys ssr range and the autoglym super resin with vanilla moose wax, ex-p and p21s

how bout u?

 

[Eddieb]

Think I'm going to go for Poorboys SSRs, not sure on sealent and i'll just use the P21S and Collinite 476s I already have.

I tempted to just go all out Poorboys but then I fancy trying some of the Duragloss and Prima products. The list is endless...

 

[makavelli]

yeah i know what u mean matey, ive been using the collinite over the winter its great stuff!
i will be using collinite on the family cars as they hardly ever clean theirs and need a more durable and long lasting wax, then will probably go for p21s on mine

 

[Mike_182]

Mine's turned up!! Well, I had to collect it, but hey!

Look forward to using it!

good stuff matey

 

[Alan]

One of the best car related things i've ever bought!!

 

[R20 CWH]

why they mainly from the states?

 

[Mike_182]

why they mainly from the states?

Because nobody over here cleans their car to the extent that the Yanks do - the weather is shite in comparison, we get hosepipe bans whenever the tide goes out and the government believe that they need to make a second surface of salt on the roads to prevent ice, rather than realising it's their crap road surfaces that cause most of the issues of settled water etc.

 

[Rich]

Meguiars are working on a UK version, but expect to pay rip off UK prices for it.

 

[cleanyourcar]

Nice haul!

 

[makavelli]

Nice haul!
