Mines desprate for a good scrub and polish bought a buffer a while back just wating for a day to use it and still searching for a good make of leather wipes tried the swartskof or what ever there called and they just made the seats super slippy which is fun on the back seat when your slinging it round some lanes with your mates in the car. On your little message thing it says youve got a colour coded lip on the edge of your alloys does that mean youve painted the very outer of your alloys red?

Mike i had but after i done it didnt like it so they are back to there normal colour now bert stuff for leather is asda leather clean and feed in wipes and as a spray stops it cracking and doesnt make it too slippery if you find it is then respray it on the seats and buff with a slightly damp cloth and it wont be slippy i bought tesco cheap car polish about 3 quid brilliant stiuff can be used wet or dry and it brings up a lovely shine the paints so smooth afterwards as well if i had the cash ide fit leather then again 2 kids not the best idea last car that had leather one of them ripped the seat with her shoe summat stuck on it so a decent set of covers is what im looking for saw leather roush ones from the states then saw the price i could buy a seccond hand interior for less i got my ford racing badges put them on the black bit on outside of rear window they uit the colour of my car perfectly and look like they were meant to be there tip if youre worried about the rust people copmplain of behind wing mirrors i took mine off and no rust at all but to ensure it i bought a rubber seal from diy store and fitted it onto the inside edge of the baseplate as this is where water gets through cheap and worked a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is where the original once was yea and in honest truth i stared at my neibours for about 10mins then got to work on mine using a steady hand and a good eye and got lucky. You can buy a tool for fitting them but im to tight. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike personally to get it straight use a level and one of the kids crayons that way you can mark the line then with a blob of blue tack pop it on with the protective backing still on stand back and have a look if youre happy peel the backing off and fit the badge then with some polish clean the crayon off job done and as its crayon it wont damage or mark the car also for little chips rub the crayon over the chip then polish over it the crayon on the edges polishes off leaving the wax the same colour of the car in the chip protecting it and giving you a blemish free polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight Focus Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Just goes to show that the most expensive isn't neccessarily the best. I use AutoGlym Aqua Wax. No residue, you use it on a wet car and takes 10-15 minutes for a full wax. £12.99 is a bit steep but you get 2 micro fibre cloths with it.
