Cheers for responce again, i decided just to try some earlier and did about half the car, couldnt really see much of a difference until i got out of the garage and drove away, only did about half the roof so i could compare, looked pretty awesome, now i wish i had finished it all xD but guess it can be finished tomorrow. I wouldnt say it the greatest of jobs, im still learning but it does look a lot better What the best way to get rid of my stone chips? i have them everywhere, front bumper, bonnet, roof, front windscreen but some are pretty deep. I heard touch up paint then polish it out? Cheers

Any suggestions for an interior plastic cleaner that doesn't leave a sticky/slippery residue?

tried the megs ultimate wash and wax last week. left the car feeling waxed and the final water rinse beads from the wax in the wash liquid.

next step to get some swirl-x and get rid of the spider-webbing.

then I will be happy.

Anyone know a really good wax for leather seats? My brother had some used for saddles and it was made from bees wax. Went on and kept the leather soft and moist but did not feel greasy. Recommend away.....

For those of you that have polished wheels (i have billets and i hate every moment that i spend cleaning them), Auto One wanneroo has a wheel cleaner that works really well and god help us all it's made by ford, give it a go.

Looking to remove some peeling clear coat from the roof of my 94 Lib... any suggestions? I tried some Kitten cutting compound, and although it did smooth it a bit, it didn't really cut like I wanted it to.
