    Oddball thing based on a Metro made by the same people who made Robin Hood Sevens I think. Not pretty. I can't imagine they sold many...

    Yeah we do, unless it's changed lately. You buy as normal and then if I remember correctly, you get an email afterwards showing your discounts

    You still have to ask Simon to set up your discount before hand.

    That's how I feel, I spend 10-20 hours a week on it and it always seems to look the same. Eventually it will all come together (I Hope)

Is using stonechip inside the car i.e the floor a good idea?

    I found it difficult to remove the smell entirely. What are you trying to achieve?

    No.

    It bloody stinks, and will do for ages, and stuff sticks to it. Enamel will protect the floor well enough unless its consistently full of water, which it shouldnt be!

    Just got a load left over, and with places such as foot wells where water can sometimes get in thought it might be a good idea.

Anyone know the difference between fast and slow panel wipe?

    ones faster than the other :p

    I prefer the slower one, as it gives you time to wipe off with a clean wipe before it evaporates. Fast is good for small panels though

    Fast is better in colder conditions where as you need slow for warm conditions.
    Typically in a bodyshop scenario, you would use slow in the booth prior to painting and fast out in the workshop

Opinions on fiberglass bootlids?

    I doubt it, less to go wrong with a boot lid, front ends are a bit more involved. But I'm not really the person to ask xD

    Sometimes fibreglass ones can be too floppy and wont press tight enough against the seal to keep the boot watertight

    ^ I thought that was tradition, irrelevant of the panel :P
