I left my car in the garage for say over a year. What would happen to the car if it wasn't driven. I might be moving abroad for work and can't bare to sell the Trophy. My brother said if you left it that long the wheels would deform and be useless - so best to put on axle stands.

Hi Guys,

Guys,
My car is permaguarded, thanks to Duffer987 and I continued this trend last year with the annual top up.
I'm now unsure as to whether or not to continue.. I went to the local Lotus specialist today , seeking a quote to tidy up the bodywork and remedy the result of my front bumper...

Hi Guys.
Im looking for a wheel cleaning solution to get rid of Race Pad Break Dust.
There is a wheel cleaner on 'i4detailing' called 'Meguiar's Wheel Brightener
Bulk Wheel Cleaning Solution'. This looks pretty good but it says - Not for use on polished aluminum or anodized wheels...
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...
For giving the Trophy the clean it has needed for a while. Especially the wheels. Just need to keep it looking fantastic now. Big plug for Ady and Shine Detailing.
I am sure there are some pics that will be kicking about somewhere from this weekend.

Spent the weekend polishing the Trophy, have been meaning to combat the swirls ever since it came out of Renault for some warranty work (forgot to ask them not to clean the car with a gritty sponge).
Not the best weekend, as I had to keep dodging all the rain showers . Had to finish up in the...
A BIG thanks to Matt
Not only did my order arrive quickly it also contained some unexpected but much appreciated extras (which I'm not going to disclose in case everyone starts whinging :D ) along with the his trade mark anglo bubbly bubble gum!

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.

Holes drilled.

Sorry no pic as of yet.
After selling the Trophy to buy a diesel, I no longer need to travel to the moon and back every week to get to work. So the DIEsel was sold and made way for our ....... Honda S2000.
It's such an awesome car to drive and it just loves to rev. It's Nurburg Blue...

I thought I'd post this up here for people to just be nosey at.
I can't take credit for the write up, but have a read....:cool:
The pictures honestly do not do the car justice now imo.
The paint feels so smooth it's unreal. I haven't felt paint so smooth on a new car in all honesty...
My car is Capsicum BLACK at the moment and i'm feeling a little guilty about it after seeing all the sparkling trophies on the site.
Can anybody recommend any decent detailers in and around south east London/Kent/Essex areas?
Think i might get it sorted in the next few weeks!!!
Cheers...
The Trophy number 373 hit 25000 miles today, the last 7k of which I have had her for and what can I say, I have smiled since the day I picked her up.
In the few months I have had her here is what I have done so far with more planned for the near future
She was 100% standard when I picked...

It's my brother in law's - as clean an example as you'll get, he's a detailing fanatic.
I don't even think it's been driven above 70mph either...
Just testing the water really to see if anyone would be interested.
I am a pro detailer and licensed by zymol. Have a large (3500sq ft) centre in the NW that is a sales venue for our zymol and meguires products as well as a work centr where customers bring their cars for the detailing work...
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!
Selling my 172 at the moment for a trophy or a megane cup/trophy. So would interested in p/x for a trophy.
