Hi This is our car - sorrry we've not replied to a few folks who've been interested, but we've had a HUGE amount of interest...one chap viewed and drove today, he seemed happy so hopefully there's maybe a good match there. Drop me a PM if anyone interested, but only if this current chap...

tesco's 99 will not be blended from 95 ron - it'll be based on 97 ron with the 5% bioethanol blended - 5% bioethanol will not give sufficent octane boost to get upto 99 ron, so will be based upon 97 as the base stock. whilst it is also true tesco 99 will not have the same detergent level as...

optimax always, although will probably try tescos 99 ron soon...

yep, the r32 is a nice car...it's also twice as epensive..!!!! there's only so many times you can drive expensively round corners....!!!!! ; )

Agree. Sounds like you've used too much. Also, these totally natural products don't like this cold and damp weather. I wash my car outside, then wax her in the garage after she's wamred up a little over a couple of hours... Oh - stick with Zymol, it's great stuff. highly recommend. Si

Agreed. Obviously, in two years every car will have some form of swirls, polishing errors on it. That will happen to the best of us, and is obviously part of using any car. I too use mine every day, and is a daily use car, so it'll not be concours or anything like that. It is difficult with...

r-jay - I guess it depends on what you do with your wax. I too garage everynight, and wax regularly by hand (every 2-3 weeks) but I've not noticed any problems with durability. Beading in my experience is far superior on a high quality carnauba than any petroleum-based product.

r-jay - lets just agree to disagree. Paint correction has it's place - brand new cars aren't that place. Old, beat up american heaps are that place. Any car WILL benefit from cuting back and protecting - providing the paint has been ignored to that degree. I do not believe any new paint...

Fair enough...keep using 'em...but you need to polish because you're not feeding and protecting properly. Modern paints are crap - and that is why you need to feed and protect. Using sanders doesn't do either. BRAND NEW PAINT DOES NOT NEED ANYMORE THAN A SINGLE POLISH AS SOON AS YOU GET IT...

Yeah, still don't believe it...besides, what's the point? It's the wax on the paint that provides the protection, not how fast you buff it off. 2500 or 6000 oscillations per minute is a lot of hand waxing. At the end of the day, rubbing anything against anything else, always results in friction...

don't believe it...lets jsut see what it looks like in 2 years time, comparing yours with a car hand wax in straight lines, using top quality pre-wax cleaner and top quality wax from Zymol, or Swissol, and see which looks better... ANY polishing, or waxing, will create swirls, or marks on the...

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT USE AN ORBITAL WAXER!!!!!!!!!! WORST THING YOU CAN EVER DO TO A CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN JUST SEE THE SWIRLS FROM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
