Had the X for nearly 7 weeks now, so far she has had a service inc new discs and pads allround, new handbrake and balljoint.

Hopefully she is back from her last visit to the garage for a while so my wallet can have a rest lol. Finally got round to giving her a good going over, starting with an engine steam, outside - Maguiars gold class wash/ shampoo/ condition, clay kit, scratch X and 3 step paint cleaner, polish and carnauba wax. Iinside - Meguiars carpet cleaner, leather cleaner/ conditioner and finished of with some endurance gel.

Mods to date:-

AC Schnitzer short shift gearknob

Sony CD plsyer

black calipers

Iphone tom tom kit

Still got faulty parking sensors to sort, grill to paint black and wheels need refurbing or replacing. Also toying with a gas conversion.

What paint cleaner did you use, was it any good?

I used the meguiars three step paint system it's the nuts water just beads off and road grime just runs off with it . And halfords are doing buy two get one free

Same as Christian, been using the meguires 3 step system for 2 years +, nothing else I have tried comes close, excellent water beeding and any dirt just washes away. Bit of hard work as you are effectively polishing the car 3 times plus I would recommend washing, claying and washing again before the 3 step. I also use quick detailer in between to top up the shine B)
