Thanks Nickm, had a look at detailingworld last night some good info on there, will have another look later.
I have not clayed the car yet, is that the dodo stuff?

I will try and get to the next meet, very nearly on the last one, but for a family bereavment. Had a look at the photos and looked good. MY10 3.0 HSE Santorini Black, Ivory Premium & extended leather, privacy, paddles, diamond turned alloys, Ipod lead that charges, tasmods, rrsport.co.uk stickers

Sorry about the sad news mate.

The clay is for removing any deposits from the paint and gets it back as smooth as glass again - it's a working clay you lube with detailer spray and rub it over the bodywork - and will make it like new in terms of a showroom feel to the paint. Either get the Autoglym kit or Meguires - about £25 for the kit - which will include clay, rapid detailer and a cloth. I prefer the Autoglym kit myself.

Brad will tell you, the paint is as good as new and after a good wash and polish, and then a wax, you're all set.

JC1 where is Berks are you mate?

Im in Thatcham Nr Newbury.

Will have a look at the Autoglm kit, thanks.

By the way, your car looks an absolute credit to you, i can see you have put some hours into it, well done  MY10 3.0 HSE Santorini Black, Ivory Premium & extended leather, privacy, paddles, diamond turned alloys, Ipod lead that charges, tasmods, rrsport.co.uk stickers

Thanks guys....it takes a lot of hard work - even though I'm in the office today I'll have a quick whizz (the car not me!) around the car when I get home later today.....best thing is, when the car is clean and looked after I am finding it more easy to look after......

I'll post some pics up later of the Figaro yesterday.....it's looks amazing too ( a little gay when I drive it) but still a head turner!

Nice to have met you this morning Nick, weather was spot on for some nice pics!

Thanks for the cloths, came in handy already as some seagull used the car as target practise...

268 miles today and averaged 28 mpg, can't complain with that.

Hi Vadim,

No, mine is a TDV8, it has a lovely V8 rumble to it as well.

What is that metal plate under the front bumper ?
Didn't see it on TDV6 HSE. 2010 TDV6 3.0 HSE Santorini Black Tan Full Leather

I think I can safely say you won't find a more cared for and looked after RRS, let alone one that is nearly 3 1/2 years old!!!

I know NickM, I was kidding  Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

Yeah you better be ha ha, know you were mate...give me £1000 for my hurt feelings and we'll call it quits!

Nick - Got the Autoglm clay kit today, will the clay supplied be enough to do the whole of the RRS or will i need to buy some more (does not look a lot of clay). Never clayed a car before so dont know.

Mate half of it will be enough to do the whole car - just get tear it off, warm it in your hand, work it into about 3-4 cm in diameter, spray the clay side and the body panel, being quite generous, and just rub it over the paint - doesn't matter which way you do it, up and down, side to side - then wipe off the excess - and look and feel how smooth it feels!!!!

I'd swing by if you're not too far and show off my shiny clean car!!! haha - what junc off the M4 are you??
