Post by: Wazzzer on 01 June 2012, 13:34
I'll have my 312mm splash guards to fit, maybe give it a good wash and a polish too. Might get started on my gauge pod too

Don't let it hear you say that. It may throw a spanner in the works  :lipsrsealed:

Finished detail...Really pleased with how its come up...But I still feel like I'm polishing a turd as the front bumper and bonnet and knackered after 126k! Plus my rear bumper is really starting to bug me...The previous owner obviously had a dink and filled it poorly and sprayed it with rattle can paint, it looks awful!  :sad:

Anyone got a US/smooth rear going?  :smiley:

Few people have been bumming that JML scratch remover pen thing, I'm not sure, though from pics, looks like it leaves a bit of a snail trail.

Going to try and get out a load of little scratches the previous owner some how got in his time owning the car!

What is best to use? Heard T-Cut is not that great.

What would people recommend? I don't have a garage and I don't need the panels to be perfect, just make them less noticeable.

Just had a quick look at it on YouTube, looks very good!

Is it really as easy as it looks on there? Apply it, rub sideways/up and down, then rub clean and the scratch is gone
