Don't use a sponge is always a good start :)

And use this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_845437_langId_-1_categoryId_165527

just to let you know it with make your micro fibre cloth black but works :)

Hello mate got this today just wanna run something by you.

I have cleaned the car so just got to wax now. Now do I go straight to the black spray I just bought or do I get my normal turtle wax polish (cream colour stuff like autoglm) first buff that off then go over with the spray?

Cheer lee

I polished all my car first. then did a body panel at a time with the spray but use a really good cloth as it could ruin your end result.

Spray on wipe off and remember you cloth goes black :p

and sometimes i polish car then leave it over night and use it and picks up the bits you missed :)

Bronze for defo ;) - I was going to apply this colour to my BBS Sport Wheels after using photoshop etc to see how it looks...HOWEVER at the last minute I changed my mind and went for Gunmetal instead (Safer Choice...)

Had quite a productive day today! Changed the diverter (re-circ) valve to the rev d version and noticed a very slight split in the old diaphragm :) Also debadged the rear 'LEON' and then gave her a nice thorough wash whilst I still had the chance!!

Photos of the debadge and wash to go up in my RR thread and also going to post a brief guide with photos on how to change the re-circ valve in a Leon FR on axle stands (******* that it was lol)

Looking to get rid of the FR and move up to the cupra, either that an ed30 or S3 but only really like the sportbacks which are in another price range but if it the cupra and black is the main option it defiantly will be the bronze combo, like it alot ;)

Well was at awesome yesterday nice day out and of course very well looked after as usual.

Bought a dblias intake from a forum member and fitted it today.
Nice and quiet in the car and I can feel the difference in power.

Met up with Tfsi_Mike, shame about the rain but good to meet a fellow car nut! Some pics in my Readers Ride thread.

Great to meet you today Matthew after all the chats, PMs & banter. The 'Asbo' looked really moody on the drive to Shell, Miltek sounded evil too!

Look forward to getting you sorted with a short shift!

A couple of dirty but loved Cupras...
