Hi will be picking up my new car next week and i wanted to know the best products would be for mica green paintwork?

thanks ian

Schumacher

What happened to the Type-R?

I used the Blackfire range on a mate's green Impreza and it looked sweet. Depends what kind of finish you're after...

ianch

were having another baby so decided to get rid as it will be to much messing with a 3 door.its a shame as ive never driven anything like the type r, but i intend to add some mods and a remap to the new one lol ill get some pics done as soon as i can.
how is your car m8 still spotless?

ill have a look at the black fire stuff

Schumacher

Ahh, congrats.

Last time I checked it was clean enough. Haven't driven the car since October, it's tucked up in a warehouse. Comes out to play in April, can't wait.

Looking forward to seeing your new car...

ianch

yes i cant wait to get started on it think ill be taking it to scoobyclinic for the remap. hopefully i might see you around in april

Schumacher

I also drive a white GC8 with gold decals so you might see me in that every now and then.
One thing I've noticed with Impreza owners in Doncaster: they're a miserable bunch! None of them ever wave back. Had one bloke pull alongside me a while back in his Golf and told me; ''my scooby would **** all over your car''. I asked him why he was driving a Golf - told me to f-off, then the lights turned green and he wheelspun away trying to impress his girlfriend.

ianch

ive only ever seen you an marx mcrae from off here.
but i agree there is not much friendly waving from scoob owners here its quite strange. And i have also experienced aggresive driving and stupidity from some of them most mind were sheds.

Schumacher

Yup, becomes a bit of a pain with the horrible driving.

Hopefully I'll see you around.

ianch

yeah sometimes make me not want a scooby sometimes when i get attention like that specially when i have the family in the car. its bad enough when its people in other cars but you dont expect it from fellow scooby driver, there must be a lot of ***** in donny as i dont get it as much elsewhere.

Schumacher

I didn't want to say it, but it's true, there are a lot of idiots in Doncaster, IMO. I'm mostly in the south and I've never experienced anything like I've done in Donny. You get people pulling out on you, driving so close that they're literally in your boot, the list goes on.

Anyway, I've gone way off topic! Back to car products!!

ianch

lol true i think i might give the jeffs stuff a go as the kit from pb is good value and i think i might give the hand polishing a go with the mezerna intensive.

Schumacher

Yeah, it's a good kit. Seems to be the 'flavour' of the month on here. Will give you a good, lasting finish.

ianch

also what degreaser do you use for engine bay and wheel arches? as they are in need of some tlc too

Schumacher

For the engine bay you can use the Meguiars Super Degreaser or P21S Total Auto Wash, then finish off with 303 Aerospace Protectant.

When it comes to the arches, you can again use the Meguiars Super Degreaser and then finish off with Meguiars All Season Dressing.

ianch

cool ill get some of that too cheers m8

ianch

order placed at pb today cant wait till it gets here now

Rich @ PB

Cheers for the order, much appreciated. You won't go wrong with either the Jeffs acrylic line or the Blackfire line on Mica Green. The Jeffs will give a hard wet shine making the most of the metallic flake, while the Blackfire will give a slightly wetter look with terrific reflectivity.

ianch

will be getting to grips with the new stuff tomorrow as long as it ain't raining
looking forward to seeing what i can do i will try and take some pics as i'm going along.
thanks again ian
