The paint looks great, have you had it corrected using a porter cable or has it just been hand polished?

Its been fully corrected by myself using rotary / pc7424

Very good job, wish I could do that

 

[diss_50]

nice one fella - excellent job on the paint and a great mirror finish! Ive been toying with the idea of getting a PC or UDM. The results of this show I should get one!

To be fair for the cost of the kit, polishes, pads, etc it would be a better idea to get a pro detailer to sort it. Unless of course you plan to do several cars.

 

[diss_50]

Thats true. I think i'd get a pro detailer in if I wanted my car done on a one off. But if I plan to detail the car a few times a year id be better off getting the kit

 

[BIG.D]

SHINEY!!! Looks really good, like the leather inside, dont see that many with it!

You should only machine polish every 12-18 months ideally...

If you do it a few times a year as you mention you could compromise the clearcoat ...

Then you have the learning curve of knowing how to use the pads / polishes to get the results you want ...

I'm not trying to put you off but I've seen plenty of people buy all the kit then give up and get a pro in after all and sell the stuff on... simply as they couldnt get the results they wanted or realised it was far too much hardwork

right, to many of you, i might sound stupid, but what exactly is remapping?

 

[Mr OCD]

The leather is my favourite part of the car... despite the car having done 75k miles it still looks like new. I spent several hours cleaning and conditioning the leather after buying it two weeks ago and has made a huge difference

I'm glad I held out for leather ... not a fan of the cloth on these cars.

 

[Mr OCD]

Go and search...

It involves modifying the fuelling / ignition and boost maps on the ECU to give more power

 

[Mr OCD]

Depressing...

My LC tonight hit 100,000 miles...

Runs fine though

 

[CupraMVR]

Well done mate .
