///BHRpowered Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 excellent indeed, but what is the badge/sticker below the tail light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 excellent indeed, but what is the badge/sticker below the tail light. Thats the f.ing Ganley badge. The damn thing didnt rust unlike original badges.. I had to take it out somehow before sticking green MCE there.. This time I used meguiars polish (step 2) before the wax. Very good stuff...

///BHRpowered Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 now all you have to do is claybar, then polish, then wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 No need to clay bar, polish and wax did just well.. But my hood is still dull. I have NO idea what happened to it.

Here any paintwork shop can mix a bottle of touch up paint, if you give them the color code. Not expensive either, and certainly not compared to the result of doing nothing. I've found out its wise to keep it in the door compartment of the car, in favour of say the garage. That way the vibrations from driving will keep it stirred up and fresh to use.

///BHRpowered Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 you will be amazed at the difference claybarring will make, and its ALWAYS needed, even I need it about 2-3 times a year on my daily drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Just looked at a 2001 White/Sand S today with 150K kms on it, for only $8900, only problem... a small tear in the front bumper . But I told the dealer, I want an S 02 Black/Silver, low KM, so he is looking for one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do, I got with my Xedos 2 bottles of paint to repair dots or crasses whenever they may appear. The bottles dated from 1994 and expired 1999....So now they are s...............but you should be able to get some (probably not cheap). Or just find the color number and let it be made by some paintshop and it will b cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
