Tears was a bit extreme of me what I was trying to get at was when a stone hits your front bumper or bonnet it can make the vinyl ride up a little. I have worked with vinyls/graphics for 15 years and still dont think its a great finish and its not that durable. It marks and indents quite easily. And even if your car is waxed and clean, dust and crap will get on the adhesive during the application process. Make sure pros can do it in a very clean workshop or the finish will suffer. Thanks for the advice. Will ask to see any work before going ahead with anything. I guess it depends on how much the car is used and where etc. All to be considered....

So for an Azure blue (or similar) what colour is the right Dodo juice to use? I may give it a whirl this stuff? Time to try something new! I've been using the Meguairs tech wax for ages, then Mike suggested the R222 stuff which I was about to try but might try this.... Take it that its easy to get on and off. Can't be arsed with anything that is like wiping off treacle! Easy stuff to use Mark. Give Clean and Shiny a call and they can advise the best one. They normally have a hard and soft wax for each tone of finish....

It's not meant to look like paint so I wouldn't expect it to be shiny As for tears, I can only see it tearing if it is something that would cause a serious scratch / chip on paint? The car is kept waxed anyway, so it would be fine beforehand I hope.

Either pinched or become disconnected, or just coincidence and the nozzle is blocked. Start off with a pin in the nozzle, then trace back from there.

Ssssshhhh!!!

Was the car under lights? I can see that happening. Sounds like a hard wax might fair better in those conditions.....

First shout on the LED's! Thanks for all your efforts in the past buddy, and best of luck.

That doesn't sound like it's being buffed properly to me. After taking it off, try something like the AG red cloth (can't remember what it's called) or a really high quality microfibre that has no product on it, and it should come up brilliantly....

And the Rays really don't need any help in the corrosion department!

have you tried layering dodo juice rob ? i'm sure you would like it and it would last longer Not yet, at least not on mine. A mate has on his 944 Turbo and it is looking good. For me, at least so far, it's the 'wettness' the P21 gives that swings it for me. Trying to get anything out of the GM is an effort in itself! TBH, I am talking from a fairly distant memory, I have neglected it a bit recently.....

looks like we might have a guinea pig? I might have to do a bit of research......

That is quality! Kev, get it done!

Having used the Dodo Juice I have to admit I still prefer the finish of the P21S / R222. Granted, it doesn't last as long, but when I had built it up the back end of last year (about 6 coats) it did look amazing and lasted a good few weeks. The Dodo stuff lasts longer per application, so it's each to their own. BTW Clean and Shiny stopped doing it because it can be got on eBay for pretty much what the dealers were paying for it....

This is true, but I imagine you could buff it up with AG Vinyl and Rubber care quite quickly! In fact, the more I think about it........

How hard it is will be more down to whether holes are in place etc. or whether you need to drill the holes to fit. If it's the latter, all the best! I have fitted some bits to mine but they fit as well as OEM bits and were relatively straightforward....

+1 no prepping is needed as there is with spraying And no waiting inbetween coats, buffing or finishing!

Check the guides section and do the ECU reset procedure. Depending what you may or may not have nudged during installation, you may need to do the throttle position reset procedure too.

I don't think it costs anything like a respray though.......

Good luck with the sale

I had one experience where I had different tyres front and rear. I had Yokohama A539's all round on the Volvo, and knew how it felt and handled in different conditions. The fronts wore, I replaced them with BF Goodrich's which I was told were a better all round tyre ie better in the wet than the dry. In the dry, the car would 4 wheel drift, in the wet it would understeer with the Yokos all round. With the BF's on the front, in the wet, it was transformed. I could slide the tail at will, and I found this out while going round a roundabout I know well near my house. It caught me unaware first time but the Yokos still being a decent tyre I caught it and starting thinking of the possibilities.... It became great fun! So if you are used to a car handling a certain way then I would say there is a risk having different fronts and rears. However, with time and you learning how to drive it, there will be changes in handling characteristics on the limit and that is personal preference / choice. One thing NOT to be recommended is different tyres on the same axle, that's just stupid.

Was only an offer. Thanks for the replys. Gratefully received too. How big is the stand looking for Zeds?

Looks like you should be fine! I am 6'1" and fit fine....

Does anyone know of vinyl wrapping places in the UK?
