Trying to decide colour on Calipers, leave red or maybe yellow or white. And also trying to decide on a few new pieces as well! I am well out of money i can tell you that much right now lol

What colour are the calipers on it at the moment?
I would be inclined to have them painted the same colour as the body work.

I know your pain with the modding.
If i go any further i could have bought another car (albeit a second hand one)

OEMs arent that small. I am only going 5mm bigger in disc (345mm to 350mm)

They look pretty for a stock car, but going for sale soon which ive been also getting harassed for already lol.

Currently Porsche are in Red so maybe keep to red as i have a few ideas!

Very lazy to update. Infact i have been very slack in general with forums for the past couple months.. Nothing that exciting on any of them these days for me i suppose! slacker i am haha.

No updates for me.. IC coming on, brakes still laying around.

This weekend ill do a 2 day detail probably on the car so if anyones keen to see some info/pics ill put something together as a lot of ppl ask what i use etc on my car(s).

will go as;
apc wash
clay bar
machine
wheels off car, clean with apc/tar remover & isopropanol followed by nanolex sealant
sealant on car
interior detail

Long day(s)!

Forgive my dumb question but what is apc?

**fuzion** · 23-11-2010, 12:12 PM

all purpose cleaner. to remove any prev sealants/waxes etc..

Well i didnt end up doing it for two days. I smashed through it in a day thankfully. That and the forge intercooler went on the saturday so i only had the car for the sunday (yes huge difference lol)

No pictures, lets be honest i forgot my camera at home and the iphone4 as good as it is ... its still crap for pictures!

Process for those 2 peeps who pm'd me where

washed the car with APC to remove all sealants/waxes i had on previously.
dodo juice clay barred the entire car (suprisingly a lot came off which is unusual as wasnt done that long ago!)
3 stage machined it with menzerna polishes
dodo lime prime to clean up the polishes
601 duragloss with 111 for wetlook followed by supernatural later on in the day for a bit more depth for the flake in the metallic.

interior has been always quite clean so just a vac, shampoo'd the floor mats. 303 aerospace trim, duragloss leather treatment and thats it really!

car looks great, but i didnt notice the difference that much to be completely honest as it was pretty good before?

Possibly in few months i might rip it off again and put something nano over it as im getting pretty lazy now!

boring!

Hahaha, i know what you mean about the lazyness.

I really only notice the change in mine after i wash it when the sun is out or when i look at the wheels.
The blue is very good at masking the dirtyness.

I should probably look into some 303 for the interior as i have only heard good things about it.
How dod you go about shampooing the mats?
I just vaccuum mine.
