Just bought some of that meguirs clay and gave it a quick whirl on a small bit of the roof.
On close inpsection of said bit there are small imperfections (like little patches - looks like a stain) which can only be seen from a certain angle.
Any ideas what they are and how to get them out?
Guys - After leaving you all for a while (197 Cup via ph2 V6 - well at least they were
all Clios) ....I am back looking for an original trophy.
My own fault I know.....wait til Steve finds out.
I can only go as far as £7K. Must be as close to standard as poss with the right
tyres and preferably...
I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick.
BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002.
So I'm...
Can anyone recommend a good detailing firm in the Sevenoaks (west Kent) area? Would rather use someone that has been recommended. Found Valet-Tech in Dunton Green, but has anyone used them at all? 415 needs a good clean, as does the WRX
Today at 12ish, didnt get a good look at the reg, for some reason ive got GX55 *** in my head but couldnt be sure. Looked 8) . Made me go home and give mine its second wash in five days. :D
Hi Guys
Going to the ring tmor morning, setting off at 6:30 wahooo
Was wondering if anyone can offer me any tips. Taking the trophy hoping to do 3 or 4 laps .... What settings do you guys run on your dampers ? im currently at 30 clicks which seems a good medium.
Cheers

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...

2 owner Renaultsport Clio Trophy, number 408/500.
Fantastic condition, as regularly hand waxed with Zymol. Tyres have plenty of tread all round, the car has full main dealer service history and was last serviced December 2007 including a geometry set-up.

Had the Trophy cleaned, machine polished and waxed today, it started raining about 2mins after it was finished, crap british weather.
Hopefully the rain will stop soon and i can give it a quick wash and take it somewhere to get some decent pics.
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.
Just bought Trophy No 237 from Allvehicles.
Pick it up on Tuesday.
Traded in my Elise 111r and have to say i can't wait to get my mitts on the Trophy!
Car was absolutely immaculate and Steve was really helpful and easy to get on with.
No doubt i'll be on here a bit from now on!

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...
We came out of a friends house last night & the beading on the car looked great, so tried my best to bag a couple of decent pics.
Not bad considering she hasn't been waxed for almost 3 months :wink:

Hi all,

I've not had the car long (8wks), but due to my wedding looming on the horizon, the sensible thing to do is try and save a little bit of cash.
So...its up for sale for £9750. Advertised only on here for the moment to gauge interest.

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 am finally going to collect car number #478 tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had any last minute advice?
Obviously, I will check all the bodywork and tyres. I have been told that the car is in mint condition throughout.
Thanks... V dot excited! 8) :lol:

Day 1 Permagard treatment...
Here's another quick question!!! ;)
My Trophy is Superguarded from the dealers, but I want to clean it and Zymol it today! Should the Zymol products strip back the Superguard, or do I need an additional cleaner/solvent to get rid of it?
Hi everyone,
I am going to book in a Permagard treatment for the little Clio.
Anyone had any experience with the Permagard product?
We have had a similar hard glossy coating on a car which we kept in very harsh conditions and it fared very well.
BTW, they have quoted ~£150 for a...
i've just got off the phone to Andrew at yozzasport, he was very helpful. I've decided to get new lines, fluid and pads, the only problem being whether to go for the PF97s or the DS2500s. Bascially, as those of you who were at bedford will have seen, i'm not very good at keeping my car clean, so...
