I'll vouch for Megs ScratchX. It did a great job on my piano black interior trim.

which is a million times softer than the paintwork... :rofl:

I never said it was a bad product, I use it a lot on soft things... I just doubt it will make much improvement by hand on hard paint. ;)

:thumbsup:
 
Met Luke and Machine Monkey in Burford, and finally picked up the hardtop that I agreed to buy a good month ago. Thanks Luke for being patient, and Matt, nice to finally meet you. Great to see you up and about. Pics on the Immie thread.

Work the usual 07:30 to 17:00. :(

Watched a bit of swimming on the red button. :)

Then got the Zed out of the Garage, drove down to the beach and surfed till it was dark. :driving: :D

That's good to know... But by hand it barely touched my paint :(

Bing, if you want to invest a bit of £££ into your paintwork, my friend and I do full details on the weekends if you're interested. Either one or two days, depending upon what you need, and as it's more hobby than business at the moment, our costs are lower than most.

With a black car, we could have it coming out looking like it's not the same car any more, so just let me know. It would, of course, include a full write up, and you could even stick around for a lesson in what's going on if that's your thing?

I don't think there is *much* difference TBH...

Good stuff though, I used use it on older plastic rear windows of cabrios...but perfect on the newer interior stuff (BMW Mini esp) and some of the A/B window pillars...

Oooh, remember the days of plastic rear windows! :rofl: :rofl:

Fixed my steering wheel - been meaning to do this for nearly 4 years :roll: previous user must have been a fan of rings and bling and the leather was scuffed and scrapes on the controls. Also, the controls were chrome, and as I am on a mission to de-chrome, was planning on toning the colour down

Disconnected the battery, waited 30 minutes then removed the wheel boss and controls. Dismantled the controls, masked up and prepped the surfaces

Sprayed a mat black colour (slightly textured finish), then broke out the furniture repair clinic kit. After using the flexible filler, glue, black dye and clear finish on the leather scuffs, reconnected the steering wheel and bingo.

Still a couple of small blemishes to sort, but well happy with the results :D
 
Very nice job that!

I washed my car in preparation to go and see Mr Monkey tomorrow. Although I've got to do 200 odd miles before I go :cry:
 
Those alpine purists are going to be knocking at your door for that!!
Looks great mate! :thumbsup:

Got caught in the rain for the first time ever. Left Sidcup, sunny as hell, on the m25 roadworks doing 40mph and no had shoulder.. The heavens opens and the contents of the Hoover damm fall from the sky.

Stuck at 40, so getting wet, unable to stop due to being a motorway. Depressing and embarrassing :oops:

Nice work Mark-did it take you long?

Thanks Andy - it was mostly waiting time for the paint to dry (although did use a heat lamp to sped up the process). Leather repair was a complete pain though, smoothing out is difficult as any repair filler is flexible so hard to sand :roll:
 
Fitted rear bilstein shocks, eibachs and new top mounts
