I had a play with a 182 today!

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/Brazoo/182blue034a.jpgThis clio belongs to Gary G off this site who came to me after the recent renaultsport trackday at Oulton park as his car was covered in rubber and removing it appeared to induce scratches. The clio is around the 200bhp mark and pretty stripped inside

although not perhaps to yozzas level! I am sure Gary will tell more if he wishes lol! BTW I have his permission to display number plate

JoelDee · Aug 8, 2005

Jamie _Swales · Aug 8, 2005

What you use to lower your suspension? How come your removed stripes?

EVOgone · Aug 8, 2005

They new front tyres, mine are fooked after Oulton and there is no side wall. Brand new on too.

sH^ny

Jay · Aug 8, 2005

Very nice

Should of kept the stripes though.

Washed, clayed, 83d, 80d, sealed and waxed mine today with the PC. Going to use the megs 21 tomorrow on it after the nxt tech wax today. Spent about 6 hours on it, pics will follow tomorrow.

P.S. the car is in the garage so it wont get dirty

Brazo · Aug 8, 2005

Jay mate you shouldnt hit the car with DACP every time its meant for defect removal, whereas Im sure you did that last time?

Jay · Aug 8, 2005

Ive only used once before on my car about 3 months back.

Whats 83 and 80? Had a look on the meguiars site and cant see it

Brazo · Aug 8, 2005

Look under bodyshop section 80 is speed glaze and 83 is DACP

Gary G · Aug 8, 2005

Cheers Brazo....excellent job at an excellent price, well chuffed

Removed the stripes for ease of polishing, plus they had chips/scratches and slight peeling/bubbling in places....i quite like it without, i like symetry lol. Plus i think its less chav as ive never met anyone thats actually known theyre an option from Renault...they all think ive kevved my car:-( Doesnt help that its lowered,big exhaust,bright red seats and im quite young.

...May get them refitted in the future but i like it as it is for now

Car is lowered using GAZ coilovers, Loony is selling his...check the sale forum.

EVOgone...1.3 neg camber mate

lol.

Once again, big thanks to brazo for all the hard work....tea...sandwichs....mars bars and sample wax lol

Turkish · Aug 8, 2005

He fed you ???!!! b*****d only ever gives me a cup of tea or a can of fizzy pop when i go to see him

*sulks*

Chili Red · Aug 8, 2005

Oh WOOOOW please do mine, especially now I know exactly what it would look like *drool*

I will never regret buying Racing Blue

Gary G · Aug 8, 2005

Haha...

Dont forget the sample wax, oh and my little finger thing!!lol.

I wanted to steal his puppy

lol

Turkish · Aug 8, 2005

less said about the little fingering the Better. I havnt seen his puppy yet

MB youll have to talk him into it if you come to a swindon piss-up lol.

Would I have to get him drunk and seduce him then? lol

Dave · Aug 8, 2005

On the Meguiars front am I right in thinking 80 and 83 require a PC or the like?

I do mine by hand and currently if im doing a full job Ill wash and clay, then tech wax and #16 all by hand. Not buying anymore hardware but is there a polishing stage I could use bfore the tech wax?

Am really happy with the results of what Im doing just wondering if an improvement can be made?

You could try #81 hand polish, this is more of an oily glaze and adds to the wet look, could be what you are looking for!

A what? Ive never heard of a SMART repair..its so deep I just assumed it would mean a respray :-(

Brazo · Aug 9, 2005

Yes it will, they come out to you sand tha rae, fill it and respray it, I had my own car done recently by a very good one in Swindon, including dent repair, sand, fill all for £75, it actually looked better than new because by wet sanding it any orange peel in the paint was removed!

80 Can be used by hand but ius hard work. I would try there 82 Swirl Free Polish by hand, this worked for me for many years until I brought my PC.

Great work as ever, nice the results Brazo.

rcp · Aug 9, 2005

Looks really good.

And the car mods are not too OTT. Very nice!

Hmmm something to consider then - Im just worried itll be difficult because the paints not metallic, I thought the whole panel will need respraying.

I havent had it done because I think they might f**k it up even more, how dumb is that?

Dave · Aug 9, 2005

Cheers Brazo Ill probably give 81 a try as it says its "hand polish" lol.

Zymol HD Cleanse has been my product of choice for that sorta stage until now.

I had 2 on mine, definately makes a difference eh mate? Nice looking car mate, best 182 Ive ever seen

Gary G · Aug 10, 2005

Cheers Chris

How are your tyres wearing btw, have you ran that much camber for a while or just for Oulton?

CHRIS172CUP · Aug 10, 2005

It was after outlon that i got it sorted out. felt like a new car when i got her back. so far so good.

HD Cleanse is a paint cleaner to remove old waxes, #81 wont do this but you could use HD and then #81

A flat colour is easier to work with than a metalic.

Gary G · Aug 10, 2005

Going to wash and then apply the wax you gave me...best not to use the gold class shampoo then? something more mild as to not strip wax??. Also, how long do i leave the wax on? cheers Mark

I had a play with a 182 today!
