You'd need a lot of ski wax. Anyone have any spare to send to Ravi?

No.

Got no ski Wax.

I have a paint detailing clay bar that might be a good substitute . . . . ?

I've got some of my wife's hair removal wax (used and only has a few pubes per square inch) but Ravi can have it if he like (still not paying postage though!)

Para you're a tight arse. Can't believe you won't do the postage. Should we call you scrooge?

oxalic acid is good and cheap get it from the chemist though,removes traffic film industrial fall out,metalic residue like if you park at a train station,easily sponge on hose off no energy or scratches,also removes all old polish ect does not mark bright work ect,
as long as its not to strong 1/4 of a cup to a bucket of cold water!
buff and wax after,
for a paint shop finnish use 3m finnese it with a foam pad wash off residue apply fav wax

Oh and my airfreshner has lost its wiff....

On a side note, tried the Clay Bar last week, unbelievable. Removes a lot of st, even small bits of tar. Downside is it highlights all the stone chips etc, so much so I'm sending my 996 in for front bumper respray. Maybe I just wanted an excuse.

Are you having the front bumper done only or you having the bonnet done too? My bonnet needs doing big time, how much is a respray?

[73 Duchess]

Hi Woogie, I'm over in Ireland and got quoted 300 euro(240 quid) for front bumper and wing mirrors. Just the usual stone chips from 16k motorway miles. Bonnet is still very clean. Guy comes highly recommended and very reasonable.

Couldn't be bothered in the end so sold it! Hanging on to my motorbike in the meantime while I scout down a super cheap and super good 993!

Love to know if you find one Ravi that doesn't leave you re-mortgaging the house before too long. Some very tasty one's in the classifieds, but the word 'cheap' wouldn't really describe them.

i'd never have guessed

[Ravi944]

I've been watching prices for the past 6 months and some of them are now relatively cheap. There were a few "S" variants for well under 30g.

Wow!
And there I was...
JUST about to chuck out me old undergrungies - when I found this thread!
Ravi?

I love this thread. Glad to see it resurface amongst all the doom and gloom.

Can we have more like this please!
