Very nice Bio. Prefer it if it had 18"s though, never liked big big wheels on a Scoob.

I put about 9 hours in on Saturday on the Pug. I couldn't get on with the Menzerna Intensive Polish. Was admittedly working in the sun, but the polish just broke down to easy before any correction. Was using a Lake Country German CCS Light Cut Pad to apply. Are you supposed to use the pad damp, or just totally out of the sun?

Cheers guys. Choco, you do have to put alot of effort in if your doing it manually mate. And you have to go over the same areas 3 or 4 times or more to get decent correction. Get a DA polisher, ok expensive, but u can get sweet results with minimal effort. Yea doing it in direct sunlight won't help. I polished mine in the garage.

Possibly doing it in the sun has dried the polish too quick whilst trying to break it down, thus going over it 4-5 times as I did on the bonnet as a test, didn't see much correction.

Hmm, will attempt on a cloudy day me thinks next time.

I'd love a machine polisher but have no ££ and dunno which to try to be fair.

I bought this purely because it was close, the right colour, PPP, good mileage and good price. Otherwise I would have another classic (probably only an STi now though) over a newage anyday. Unfortunately there was nothing close to me for sale, except for a manky W reg UK turbo at a dealer.

Nice motor Mr. Bioforger,

but don't get obsessed with lowering it, I did for a while, and I've now "surfaced" 'cos the ride was too poor....

BC coilovers seem to give a better ride than standard though from what I've heard.
