Am wanting to spend a day on 007 in the next few weeks, a kind of 'spring clean' that i put all of my car through in Feb/March, especially now the roads seem a bit tidier after all the kacky weather.
I valeted professionally for 6 years, but that was about 5 years ago now so i am a bit out of...

It was a lovely day today. So the car got a wash - but the new aqua dry is rubbish. I've always used Auto Glymm aqua dry but it seems to be made of a different material and they've put holes in it too. It's nowhere near as absorbent as it used to be requiring me to go over a panel 3 times and...
Hi all,
After picking up the Trophy about 2 weeks ago now, I've finally had time to start a Trophy #383 thread after driving with a :mrgreen: everywhere

All,
Sadly the time has come for me to move on from the Trophy. It's an unfortunate casualty in a series of events and one I wish I could save, however having this and the Vee is out of the question and it'll sorely be missed:
It's had:
36,000 miles - and just had BOTH belts done -...

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.

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...
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...
Today myself and Bubbles passed a fair few hours giving the R27 some TLC.... clay-bar'd, followed by some Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish and Meguiars Deep Crystal Wax.
Well chuffed with the results.... liquid yellow looks awesome when clean even if i do say so myself :)
Want to keep the Trophy looking good.
Think my car's had permagaurd recently applied to it (only had the car a couple of weeks).
Anyone else had this done? How often do you need to do it?
Any other tips for keeping it tip top?
Thanks,
Karl.
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 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...
