Hey guys,

I know its not really a mod but more a upkeeping thing however this colour polish which I bought to cover up chips in my paint is awesome!

I use Maguairs gear normally and its the best but I decided to use this colour polish today to clear up a few scratches .. Worked a treat when from nice dead white scratch to nice low white/grey/black colour and if I used the scratch chipstik it disappears ..

I used the chipstik to cover up deep chips in the paint as I park outside and rust is not kewl!

Decided to polish the boot, hood and roof and it removed the water marks aloooooot better than maguires gear i.e TEK WAX level stuff! (known as one of the best)

Thought id pass on the experience as ive read several people say its crap .. the chip stik lasts a few washes etc .. Its not true its been about 20 washes since ive applied it and there is no chance it is going to come off in the next 20 by the look of it!

Remember if your appling over rust scratch off the rust with a knife .. (id suggest taping the surrounding area first)

So if you got scratches (from keys or whatever) go get some now .. wish I would have used it sooner (ive had it bluddy 3 months)

hmmm becareful we sell this stuff and it aint great can stain paint.

remmeber the TEK WAX is a wax not a polish so it is not designed to remove water marks.

Stain paint you say .. interesting .. Dont think ill have a problem my cars black ..

However tek wax has the ability remove water marks according to what you can use it for ..

While im here .. should I tek wax over the polish?

Turtle Wax is NOT better than Meguiars, and the coloured polish is an absolute last resort for very old and tired/faded paint.

It sounds like you need to do some more research into exactly which products you are using to do what job.

Personally I use Auto Glym cream polish and Meguairs wax and have done so on my last 5 cars to keep the paintwork at a show quality standard.

I've tried this stuff ... and god dammit it's awful. The application of the stick is only a temporary measure... the residue you leave behind filling in the scratches comes off eventually. And the colour polish makes your paint work so dull. I spent about an hour removing the shit off my car with wax and grease remover... never using that stuff again.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
