Mirka Gold Sanding Discs

Mirka abrasives has made a number of improvements to its range of multi-purpose Gold discs which tackle a wide variety of substrates and surfaces, including scratch resistant clearcoats and lacquers. Mirka Gold discs now have increased performance and longer lifespan. In internal tests and field tests, the upgraded Gold discs achieved greater stock removal, a faster cut and last significantly longer than the original range. Extra strong aluminium oxide grains in P80-800 provide a cut which stays sharp for a long time, and an improved backing paper gives a more even coating of grains and resin for a better quality finish.

I just bought some primer, paint and thinner for my cherry red gti from these guys:
http://www.autopaintsbrighton.co.uk/
Can thoroughly recommend them, worked out cheaper than a couple of other places i tried even after postage.
I ordered from them using paint code and colour name at 10pm on friday night and paint arrived at 8.01am this morning.
Paint is also a spot on match for my 89' Gti, although they can match paint up from samples you post them

3M Imperial Hand Glaze - Recommended by Customers Worldwide

A recommendation by one of our customers who has to say this about the product:-

"This is my personal favorite. I have tried just about every product on the market, and keep coming back to 3M Hand Glaze. It is gentle on the paint, produces, in my humble opinion, the deepest gloss, yet is aggressive enough to remove fine swirl marks and scratches. It also "feeds" the paint with emollient oils. Buff out and repeat if necessary. The 3M hand Glaze works very well on swirl marks and scratches that can be seen but not detected with your fingernail. Once the blemish has been removed, follow with an application of straight Hand Glaze to restore the deep shine and then wax. The recess behind the door handles is a classic area that responds well to this combination."
