scouk Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Cheers for the comments folksIt's on my "To Do" list Graeme! Just caught this thread.. Tidy work! & good attention to detail! Looking to give mine a good going over at the end the month before next months SIDC events... my old red wagon was the same... you never realised just how manky they were until you washed them biggrin.gif Aye, got the same problem with mine... The front and offside of my car is scattered with more stone chups than ever now.. So damn obvious when it's washed Tried a wee spot of that Stone Chip repair stuff on my front bumper gravel rash and it not too bad so far.. But the real test will be all these bloody chips! Even if I can reduce them a fair bit I'll be happy.. Otherwise will have to start saving for a re-spray
scouk Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Just out of internet, What products did you use for that session?
frank c Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Have you seen the group buy on s/net for the paint correction kit thingy...seems to hide the chips and there is plenty of people giving it a try..

scouk Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) Have you seen the group buy on s/net for the paint correction kit thingy...seems to hide the chips and there is plenty of people giving it a try.. Yeah.. Although first spotted it over on teh RB320oc forums.. Depending on what your expections are I think youll either think it's great stuff or pish.. Personally I'd say it's worth getting one batch.. From around £50 ( - any group buy discount) you get a decent touchup package for chips and minor damage.. Worth keeping a hold of IMHO.. Have you got the frontal damage repaired yet? Just about Still got a wee dent and cracked paint on the bonnet .. Everything else is patched up and repaired.. All parts primed and ready for painting... Sadly painting requires some dry hot sunny weather... *sigh* And then around 2-3 weeks to properly cure before polishing/finishing, before fitting then waxing... If a job's worth doing it's worth doing properly! Especially in the case of the Scoob.. Splitter also back in one piece again waitin to get sprayed! Note current scoop was un-damaged that a new STi one I got Edited June 7, 2008 by ScoUK
sczscoob Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 Just out of internet, What products did you use for that session? Hi Al, Wheels cleaned with Megs APC, Power washed down then Foamed with Elite Snow Foam, Power washed down again, washed with Megs Nxt stuff Dried off then and Menz Final Finish applied via PC, Nattys blue was applied first, left on for 20 mins before being buffed off then same with Collinite. Then a quick wipe down with Megs new Spray detailer. Forgot the name, sorry I need to purchase something for sealing in the wheels, not sure what to go for yet.

Good choice of products That Collinite stuff lasts for ages and give a nice crisp finish Wheels, I'd reccomend Nattys Poorboys Wheel sealant (as most other folk would suggest too).. Tub of pink stuff that smells good enough to eat! Slap 2-3 coats on the wheels and they are easy cleaned for months! Only started using it a couple months ago and still the wheels are easy to keep clean!
