Re: Car Polish

You shouldn't off polish either. You should need just a good wax to create a good protection. I've never used a plain wax before. Tho I'm tempted to try one.

Re: Car Polish

I use autoglym. Have for years. It's expensive. But just got a litre bottle for £7! Happy days. Always best to use a t cut if it hasn't been done. You can get special metallic one that brightens up dull clear top coat a treat.

Re: Best way of fitting front door speakers?

I've aslways used Cavalier/mk2 astra pods, and fitted fine and the Magnets on my pioners are massive.

If you sound dead the front door while you are at it you'll make most of the speakers too.
