I had a go with the G1 last week, i do not think i did the best job ever on the windscreen, when it says clean the glass 1st they are not joking, i gave it a good clean 3 times, but still ended up with a grubby pad after applying the G1, think i will get the winter out the way and try again. Apart from that it does seem to work quite well, definetly do not need the wipers on as much

Thinking of getting some of this to get muck off the paintwork before getting the washmit on it.

Been using the Gtechniq G1 for a couple of months, Think it is much better, surface spray seems to just go straight over it, and do not really need the wipers on over 40mph, i still think i need to have another go at applying it better, otherwise thumbs up for it

Had a new Pre cat Sensor fitted, if that does not help will replace the other one too, so fingers crossed for no more EML

Someone like Prospeed would be around 50% of that...

they came in at £580, will cost me about £30-40 in petrol to get there and back, so works out well, i think Andy got his done there too, so will have a look at sorting some thing out closer to when i have a week off

I have to say I've been more than happy with my ProSpeed setup :) Sounds good (well, it did with the ITB's and slightly lumpy cams!) and it's still in great condition today. Admittedly it's been a while since I've last seen it though but I'm pretty sure it's still in good condition :) ProSpeed aftersales are pretty good too should you have any issues or what something altering slightly.

Depending on when/if you decide to get it done then give me a shout and I'll see if I'm around.

Thought i would give an update on how the plastics i sprayed using Plastikote are holding out, has been almost 2 years since they were done. I think it is pretty good stuff, the are around the exhaust trim i should imagine is heat related, the wing mirror has had a boulder hit lol :rolleyes:, the rest looks good

Looks like it's stood up extremely well. I might add that to "my to do list" when I have some spare cash.
