I've a few spec R parts and to get them 100% your looking at a machine polish.

I can't think of the guys name at the mo but the guy at spec R will re-polish them for you if you send them back. He knows the car very well so I'm sure he would be only to pleased to help.
If I see you at some shows I'll come and say hi

Cheers
James at Ti22 in Newport will see you right, he's on here with user name Ti22.
I'd have a chat with him, I don't know of any others locally that I would trust with the standard of results your looking for.

No Meguires metal polish, let it dry first. Peter at Spec R will do them I'm sure if you ask nicely. He loves that car. They will need doing on a machine now I think. Be careful though as that stuff scratches very easily.
