First time to tried I had to pull the lot off, second attempt applied it wet which was what's needed. Then heat applied to the edges. The bubbles I had then in the heat of the sun came out and any larger bubbles, I made a pin hole in the wrap and fingered the moisture out

They're GREAT, steering felt so much lighter and direct honestly even before coming off the drive. Loads of steering feel and sportiness on the road, really want to put my 19's back on but abit pointless just to sit pretty on the drive collecting dew dust Any of the top 3 UHP tyres, id say you'd be chuffed with - all down to price & looks.

My scrubbing video, please excuse the monotone Brummie

I noticed!! Looking into the details the 6's are a fair way beyond the 5P's as they should be. https://www.evo.co.uk/features/16838/continental-sportcontact-6-review-the-tyre-of-choice-for-your-sports-car Memories of a soft sidewalled 5P were quickly forgotten as the 6s flaunted better high-speed stability, most evident through a fast right-left turn that danced the car over a crest on the edge of grip. Hard braking with a small amount of lock on also revealed that the sidewalls were less inclined to fold, making it much easier to attack each braking point and trail the brakes towards the apex with consistency.

In OE sizes you'd save £140 choosing the Continental SportContact 6 over the MPS4S on Oponeo, still an excellent set of rubbers which is what I went for when replenishing my 19's last year. https://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2019-Tyre-Reviews-UHP-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm

Ok that makes sense, the wrap has another top film that you peel of after application. This film gets scratches during application which is finally removed, without doing do it will look cloudy.

Love that new avatar pal!! Yeah, reads well that stuff as it incorporates PTFE polymers used in their flagship sealant. Wanted try it out last night instead of the paste sealant, but with the wind picking up stopped that bright idea.

That shouldn't have been the case, can you explain the final steps of your process?

Looking moody pal, love it!!

Had a parcel delivered today so thought what better time to carry out a Spring clean. 3hr session smashed out, pre wash, 2 bucket wash, tar and glue, clay, glaze and sealant. The paintwork feels as smooth as glass now, back of the hand test passed. Products used: Bilt Hamber Autofoam Carchem shampoo Gtechniq W7 Bilt Hamber clay bar *medium Autobrite cherry glaze Soft99 Kiwami sealant Will be trying out Fusso Coat Speed Barrier between washes as top up. Tailgate - Passenger side Driver side - Bonnet Roof - Rear bumper Sealant

A dual action polisher won't create heat as it's not in the same spot continuous. Wet & dry is the harshest form of correction for lacquered finish.

Just wrap it, from experience it's a great remedy. Just make sure the finish is exactly how you want it prior If you're desperate to use C4, coat the wrap if need be. I've done a few years back and it's looks day one fresh!

My tip would be to do the underside of the bonnet afterwards, as it save drips down your neck.
