It might be easier for you to apply if you spray some soapy water over the surface then squeeze the water out with a squeegy...

Yeah good chance I'll be getting rid of the car within 12 months,pretty much over everything now when it comes to modding. Lost interest and the cvt is driving me insane, worst thing a car manufacturer has ever done. Absolutly no benefit whatsoever. Planning on going back to the corolla just waiting for the new model to come out.

I think its just going to be the front bar - bonnet, guard and headlight all seem OK at first check. Like I was saying on the weekend - rubbish brakes on the ralliart :P Another 2 or 3 feet and I would've pulled up.

At least she's insured, just gotta hope there is no delays in getting it fixed.

Noooooooooooot thrilled.

I washed and waxed my brand new one week car for the first time. I used Meguiar's (gold class shampoo, gold class wax) and micro fibre cloths.

I discovered a small paint chip has happened on the front plastic grill area :-(

Also, despite doing my best washing and waxing thoroughly, after I was all done I've noticed some water spots on the bonnet if you look at it in the sun in a certain way. I'm not sure if they are from some rain I encountered this week, or if they are from the air drying too quickly before I could get there with the towel :-(

I don't want to wash and wax the whole thing again so soon though, so I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it, or try again to just do the bonnet, or what. I feel pretty sad over the whole venture, it took me over an hour.
