Anyone have any ideas what polish would be best to use on the red paint? I know that red has a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to fading and I really don't want that to happen. I've used the t-cut colour polish and turtle wax equivalent previously (on other cars) and I've also used...
Bit of a boring one but we all like are cars to their best.

Onto the stats, are there any good...

With the imminent arrival of my new car the time has come to sell my beloved Trophy. :(

Since purchasing my Trophy (413) 2 weeks ago i now feel it needs to good clean, polish etc inside and out also the engine bay.
Wanted some advice on what products to are best? from my fellow trophy owners.
My girlfriend is about to purchase a new car, well, used but around the age of my Trophy. I have told her that she has to start looking after this one and it has surfaced the discussion regarding car care. My car was Permaguarded by duffer987 and for the last 2 and a bit years under my wing, I...

Hi all, I'm new to the Trophy world. Used to own a 172 cup which I loved. Just bought my Trophy yesterday from a member.
I am interested in cleaning the seats but unsure what products to use on them? wouldn't want to damage them! also the seat belts are slightly grubby and could also be cleaned...
Ive been looking about to see what the best car polish is to use on the car, My trophy looks abit fader in colour compared to some others that i have seen in the pictures. It makes such a difference giving it a good wash and polish, if anyone has any tips on what to buy please let me know.

going to clean my car today after a month! and ive never cleaned the exhaust pipes and they are grey and make my car look not so nice, is there any cleaning products that you recommend to do the job? want to make it look shiny again
I bought a Turtle Wax wheel cleaner spray from halfords a while back. i have just given the wheels its first application with the stuff over the weekend. I have pagids fitted too and the wheels come up a treat in conjunction with a jet washer. However after i had read the small print (after i...
Hi All,

Will dig out the number tonight so i can update the register.. EDIT Number: 224
Car was in pretty poor condition for such low mileage, but has the full service history, and hpi clear, as well as a...
Hi all!!
It has been a while but I'm back! Well, not for long actually as I am relocating to Singapore in the next few weeks... so I need to sell my 350Z very very quickly, hence the crazy bargain basement price... cheapest int he UK like-for-like, bar none, with just 17.5k miles, and still...
Has anyone used these on there trophy?
Did it mark the paint or spoiler?
I have not used one for years. Last time I took my bikes on hols I hired an estate car.
Spent the weekend working on Theo's car as it needed a little TLC :) Also had great fun with the weather, in and out of the garage all day on Sunday, glad we got the polishing/correction done on Saturday when the weather was perfect!
When the car arrived safe to say it was a little dirty, you...
The weekend started with a visit to Mark Fish to have the solid top mounts fitted that I had ordered last year but had only just got round to getting fitted.
Mr Fish (for those who have never met him).
The top mount.
Sachs dampers removed.
Holes drilled.

Hi all,
Just noticed the other day that my discs were VERY uneven. There are a lot of groves and this has made the braking squeek and braking hard very untrustworthy.
My question to you knowledgeable people is whether it's simply a case of replacing the discs & pads or is there something...
Hi, don’t know if this has been brought up before but is it safe to use Maguire’s/Carplan? On these alloys? I dont want it to rip the paint of them or whatever.
Cheers
Polished this Integra with Autoglym High Gloss polish (black label). Highly recommended at the price (both car and polish!) and made this car and the 330 Conv look superb.
Recommended as a quick fix too - I don't have all day like some of you guys!
I have a 5000 mile (originally thought was 4000 but c'est la vie) Trophy due in this weekend. Two owners and in great condition as you would expect. I will advertise for £11995 but will consider sensible! offers.
Warranty to 31st Oct 08 is notable. A couple of months RFL will stay with the...
I meant to post this the other week, its 3 for 2 on all cleaning products (Autoglym, Meguiars, the lot) at Halfords at the moment - seems like a pretty good deal. Its pretty lethal though, you are pretty much guranteed to go in for one thing, spend at least twice as much as you planned, come out...
Ok, this may sound a bit random or stupid. But how does everyone dry their cars after a wash and what products do they use to do it.
I have my car permagarded and want something to get her nice a dry after a rinse. I have never been a big fan of the shammy leather but maybe its cos i bought...
I have recently had my fleet of cars permagarded (full works inside and out, including glass treatment which i am delighted with!) but i one small issue/question to ask
" what screen wash to use?"
the blokes at peramard have said use a decent alcohol based sceen wash but i was simply...
After much debate over what car to get I finally decided on the golf. Picked it up last Wednesday and loving it so far. The power is awesome and the noise is special.
Trophy was a close second but the golf managed to win :)
Little sunlight to show any cleaning done but for those...
