Hello Prash, thank you for this but there have been a number of threads on this product. I started one back in September last year with a link to a video. There has been a thread recently where one of our members has given it a go. I'll have a look for it and give you the link.

My son-in-law has a machine polisher, I'm sure that he will let me borrow it so I will give it a go. Any particular polish that you would recommend. I must be honest, I didn't realise that there were differing grades of polish. Thank you for your help. As long as it isnt one of those 12v cigarette lighter jobbies from Hell-Frauds - They do not have the power to scare the skin off a rice pudding. Also, it needs to be a random orbital polisher to save yourself burning a hole in the paintwork (unless you are skilled with a true orbital). The polishes I use are Sonus SFX 1, 2 and 3 (final finish) to end with. Be warned though - once you start it will look so good you might want to do yor entire car !! Thanks for this info, the polisher is a mains jobby but can't be sure if it is random orbital or not. I will investigate. Thanks.

Clever gulls those, they obviously got wind of the new airport/airline taxes that were coming in so they thought they would get in quick!

Agree 100%, I love my dog and cats, they are part of the family but, that damn seagull didn't know me from Adam and couldn't possibly have known whether or not I was going to offer him some of my fish, he just took it!! Just bad manners methinks! lol

I'm afraid that I am not a fan of seagulls anymore. I used to enjoy sitting in a deckchair enjoying the sunshine and listening to them flying around and squawking away but, I was with the family down in Padstowe (Cornwall) and we decided to sit on the sea wall with the old favourite (fish 'n chips) and out of the blue, and quite unexpected, a seagull clattered into the side of my face, nicked a piece of fish which I was about to put into my mouth, knocked my specs off, which almost got trampled under the feet of a chap walking by. I had a bruised face for a few days afterwards and, the same thing then happened to someone else sitting not far from us. This sort of thing is caused by people feeding the blooming things and is why the authorities put up signs all along the seafront discouraging the feeding of seagulls. It does cause them to become aggressive when there is food about I'm afraid. On top of that and because there are so many of them attracted by the neighbours offers of food, our conservatory roof (and our cars) are constantly bombarded by their crap. I wouldn't mind a couple of them but 50 or 60 takes the biscuit (pardon the pun!)

I live by the sea so I have the same problem, and don't they do big jobs?! My last car had a couple of marks that I couldn't remove, it really does seem to go deep. I did find tough that T Cut made an improvement but it was always there. Probably best to ask at a body shop I would think. Yes I think that I will ask a body shop for some advice. Yesterday morning there were about 50 seagulls flying around, I have a suspicion that an elderly neighbour is feeding the damn things but I have yet to catch them in the act. I have a bamboo cane lying on the patio table and when I go out I give the table a really good whack and it sounds like a gun going off and they then quickly fly off.. Thanks for your comments.

I noticed today that I have a couple of small marks on my bodywork and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for getting rid of them. They are basically small burn marks caused by seagull c..p not being taken off quickly enough. They appear to have caused the paintwork to wrinkle/shrivel very slightly. I don't want to use T Cut at this stage in case it might be a bit on the harsh side and am wondering what other members might have used successfully themselves.

I wonder if this 30day free trial of a pdf editor might help you. Follow this link......http://www.labnol.org/software/edit-pdf-files/10870/

Thinking of changing your car.........................have a read of this then http://www.motoring.co.uk/car-news/car-trade-in-values-on-the-rise_53427?utm_source=motoring.co.uk&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=newsletter

Thank you for the additional information, very useful. You never know when it might be needed. Interestingly, I clicked on your link and the item is now showing as £235.00, quite an increase.

I can see right through your game!!!!

It would be interesting to know how you get on with the Auto Finesse gear. Perhaps you might give us an update when you get the chance Good luck with your new wheels!

Nice job Martin. I've been trying to get my head round what to buy to get my car looking good, your list is extremely helpful so many thanks for that. Tis good too that you've listed them in the prder that you used them

Follow dave1's advice, always talk to your current insurer first, this method has often paid off for me, except for this years renewal, but then I was using a dual car policy for the first time. I moved my business to LV and got a great premium.

Good news agent_dess. Are you able to post up a link that may be of help to other members. Did you have to pay any import duty/VAT? Does the unit work to your satisfaction?

Really sorry to hear this very sad news.

Me too for the AR6200. I ran 450ml of AR6400 through the system first via a full tank of fuel and now just use the AR6200 at each fill up. brilliant stuff!!

10 US Gallons is approximately 8 UK Gallons give or take a spoonful

Had something similar myself. Have a look at my thread from a little while ago. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/79420-had-a-little-problem-today/

Welcome to the LOC. You'll find lots of helpful people on here with lots of really useful advice and experience. Am up in Lincolnshire a few times a year as I have relations in the Sleaford area. Can't help you with any info on the 200 though, sorry. I have a 250 myself having moved on from the 220d.

I'm with LV, including protected NCD, insured and spouse to drive, SD&P only (retired) premium is £192.94. Don't do that many miles in a year any more though so that helps, plus my post-code. You should never just accept your renewal invitation, you should always phone them and discuss. I have always enjoyed great success with doing this, I have often been amazed at how much some of them are prepared to move.

Welcome to the club. There's lots of help and guidance on here. Did a quick calculation on your figures and I reckon you're getting closer to 32mpg at the mo.

Fabulous.....enjoy....enjoy....enjoy!! Welcome to the friendly LOC Don't forget to ask the good lady if you can have a go in it!!
