I think I recall reading on here that it's about a litre, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me.

You don't need an antenna for that, you need a glowing finger...

Have you checked the fuses?

This kit is ideal for the novice; http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb-soft-paint-polishing-kit-cat1.html all you need on top of that is a clay bar and a decent wash beforehand and a wax or sealant after really. As above, Detailing World has more information than you could ever possibly digest. There's also some good guides here too Polished Bliss.

Blackfire is a must on a black car, it gives brilliant results.

That is all.

That is shiny, looks great.

A bit of light, bedtime reading for you then. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/caring-for-modern-engines.html http://www.polishedswiss.com/#/engine-bay/4529645625 I appreciate Swiss's guide is very Impreza oriented but there's some very good general advice there too. It's really not that difficult to do yourself, I've not managed to break anything (yet) despite doing several engine bays and I'm a complete idiot at the best of times.

Temper Orange is A53 (from here)

Neil, she said BICEPS...

It's to denote the difference between an FP1/2/3 service schedule and a P1/2/3 schedule. <18,000 miles per annum follows the P schedule. >18,000 miles per annum follows the FP schedule. I don't know off hand what the difference is between the two, but it's in the service book - I presume the P schedule is pages 18/19, the FP schedule is pages 20/21 - but I'm far too lazy to go and look. As far as I can remember they're both 9k intervals.

I've used a few, including Dodo Juice and Autoglym from your list - I've also tried a cleaner wax but that's it from Zymol. I personally find the Autoglym stuff to be very similar to how you've described the Megs stuff. I do find some of their products useful and they give good results, but I prefer others. Dodo Juice products are nice to work with and give good results, but can be a little bit pricey compared to others that do as good as job (IMHO) and the waxes don't have the durability that I'd like. Which brings me to; I do like my Poorboys products. The Natty's paste waxes do what the Dodo Juice waxes do well but have lasted longer in my own experiences. And they're cheaper. I tend not to stick to one brand for every step either though, as above.

You have only got 5 letters on your plate? Mine is 5 letters and is on one line legally spaced and BS marked to. Sorry if I'm being dense here but doesn't that then defeat the purpose of a square plate if it's all on one line?

That, or Tardis.

That's the one I've got (minus the patio cleaner gubbins... and I paid more for it. ). Has currently outlasted two cars in the household and never let me down. Just to note, the "foam applicator" that comes with it is useless, you're much better off getting a dedicated foam lance as well, it's the Kew/Alto fitting you'll need for a Nilfisk.

Great result

I have a fair idea, I just can't bring myself to form the words...

That. Although with the clay bar, if you stick to the Megs Quick Clay (which the likes of Halfrauds sell) you can't really go wrong to be honest. Definitely worth playing with a polisher on a scrap panel before going at your car with it though.

If you do walk, let them know it's because you're not willing to pay that much for it. There's always the chance that they'll re-think their price if they're aware that's specifically why you've walked.

I've corrected that for you.

No problem. I like to avoid eBay as much as possible myself.

And sometimes you don't. Clicky.

I can confirm that money exists. Now tell us.
