Auto glym seem to be the lads to go to if you need any cleaning products and luckily a fella in my class mum owns a franchise of auto glym so discounts here we come lmao.
I didn't want to ask him advice as he constantly acts like a sales person and says every auto glym product is superb and tries to sell me things, but i may go for a talk to see if i can get some decent discounts or free bees.
BTW matty g that audi looks superb - i would love an a3.....one day maybe....

I've heard smooth peanut butter works well on the bumpers.
Anyone else tried this??

Well if you think about it, the peanut butter had natural oils in it, which almost makes it seem like a feasible idea.
Although atleast it wont melt my bumpers, unlike a heat gun lmao...
I neva thot about boot polish though - that sounds like it might work. Does it last long??

Just to add if you are only filling the swirls you will be doing it constantly as the fillers don't last for ages. The benefit by doing it by machine is that you do get a crisper finish over doing it by hand. Bilt Hammer do a product that is meant to be better than SRP at filling swirls. The name escapes me atm though.

Presuming you're talking about the bumpers and not the actual paintwork, my mate did this, it came up ok, there was some patches darker than others though but that might be because he was wank.
