Justin. I ordered a load of stuff off shinerama. I called him up an he advised different wax. He said the one you said was more pro stuff an advised some meguires one for my needs. Also got some shampoo, wheel cleaner, a mitt an some towels. I'm going to see how I go but I may also get a snow foam gun off him. In the meantime ill treat my car to some wax an also the wifes when it arrives.
I want to get the caravan home from storage soon as well as I'm going to put a nice coat of polish on that as well to look after it. I've cleaned it each time we've brought it home but I think some polish will really look after it
Oh that's a thing as well which I forgot to ask. How do you apply the wax or what do I use anyway?

dont know what to get for the rear though, some people say the same ones but not sure if they will fit, what i may do is order the front and rear spacers and one set of speakers, then i will try them out in the rear as well and go from there, the rear are more pathetic than the front ones haha

im undecided still about a splitter as my main worry is smacking it on speed bumps, we have loads coming into our estate and even worse ones on the perimeter road of work, last thing i want to do is spend 180 on one an then it gets smashed up so i think i will go for my wheels first.

Right, ive definatly decided im going for anthracite, im away next thursday so the plan is to get the wheels off the car and take them the garage on wednesday and leave them there till the following week. That way the muppets dont have my car for a few days and get tempted to take it out.
Also im not going to get a splitter, ive watched where i go a lot in my car and its just not suited to my use, the perimiter road of work has loads of speed bumps and the kerbs round ours and work are to high, so it will be a waste

My wifes car went in yesterday an there transfering the tow bar over to the new car so we haven't got a car for a few days so they lent us a ct200. Fookin hell its boss. Lovely small little thing. I think the looks of it depends on what colour you get it in to be honest but the spec is great. Its realy mad driving a hybrid an gettin used to the silence when its runnin on battery only. The wife loves it. It would be to small for her now though
