Matt,

I've got a few stone chips but careful use of some touch up paint on the large ones does a good job. Gone through about three sets of headlamp protectors though

Pob,

I did this myself using the information that Mark provides when using his starter kit. It had previously been fully cleansed and waxed and this was just a touch up in the evening. Washing the car takes 30 mins and waxing the car after takes about 30-45 mins. Merlin stuff is great as it just goes on and wipes off. Secret is not to put to much on. Clean windows and put some stuff on the tyres. Wheel cleaning takes no time at all as they have wax on them.

For the interior Mark's cleaner is the only cleaner I have used that does not leave all your surfaces black and shinny, but looking good as new.

Photos done at water sports place off the M3 somewhere with a Fuji Digital Camera.

Looks good Si.

Guys, if you're going through headlamp / foglight protectors (I know I did), get yourself along to your dealer and order the pre-cut Armourfend covering. The stuff is bullet proof (literally) and only costs about £30 for the headlamps (similar cost to buying the plastic headlamp protectors) and I think, a similar amount for the foglamps. It is permanent, so no messing or replacing and should also find that you improve the beam of the headlights (god knows, they need it )

Chris

Question

Stupid question I know, but what is it, a stick on covering?
