Polish it - Drive it - Break it - Fix it - Then repeat.

Well, seens as my caliper bolts appear seized, and well beyond the capabilities of my Fisher Price toolkit, my spangly new EBC discs and pads are still in their boxes.  However, my car is clean and shiny...and has no missing interior plastics!!! Grin

I've spent 4hrs yesterday and 7hrs today getting mine ready!  Shocked  Had to put road pads back in after doing a track day at Marham last weekend, also had to swap front wheels to back and visa versa (fronts absolutely fooked  Sad after 400miles!  Shocked ).

Then cleaned inside, engine bay, glass and went over the paint (5 times) with the following!!!  Shocked Cheesy

Poorboys SSR2 Swirl Remover
Poorboys Blue Polish with Carnauba
Clearkote Red Moose Machine Glaze
Poorboys EX Sealant
Poorboys Natty Blue Wax

 Grin

Looks spangly now!!  Cheesy
