Looking good mate, when you say "swirl removal" in your method, what do you mean and what did you use? Thanks :)
Shuriken.

Best thing I found for swirl removal was Zymol HD-Cleanse - its removes the small swirl marks and brings out the deeper color - especially on the darker colors.... 3M Imperial glaze is also pretty good at it, and one the Meguaires Gold Class products does a reasonable job... I prefer the Zymol simply because its easy to apply and remove and also leaves a beautiful smell....
Here is a picture of Zymol HD-Cleanse in action...

Cheers, it seems the owner before me went a bit mad with something 'cos I've got quite a lot of swirl-marks pretty much all over the car. Saying that, I haven't given it a good polish since I've had it so that maybe all it needs. :)
Shuriken.
That is spankingly clean.
Deffo like the CSL bootlid :cool:
I can recommed the 3M Imperial Glaze, but only use Swissol on my pride and joy.

i think some branches of halfords do the range, but the one in bedford is shit and has nothing. i got mine for carnoisser in bedford, i also picked up a few of the meg's 100% cotton towels which i found excellent too :D

Come on Nu Technique tell the truth, that drop is more than using the Eibach Pro-Kit .There must be less than 20 mm space between the tyre and the outer wheel arch on the front.
If anyone is intrested I buy my Meguiars from Alex at http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk (http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/) he might offer us at EvoTechnik a 10% discount you never know, as he does on other forums.

afif
you can get them at this auto store at kingsbury road near the postoffice.
i tried the x scratch but didn't really work too well.
