January Meet names & numbers
The reason for doing the same as last year is due to cost, and value for money. I rang a few places and the prices went from £9.99 to £17.50 per person. At £7.95 I think we get quite a good meal and service. Also I think everyone enjoyed it last time. Allan

January Meet names & numbers
January Meet 2007 Gloucester Halfords / Greyhound Inn Siddington Sunday 14th January 2007 Halfords Eastern Avenue Gloucester@ 13.00 Ok I have been in touch with Halfords Gloucester and the Greyhound At siddington, they are both keen to help us do a meet as we did last year. Sunday Lunch will be a sitting at the carvery for £7.95 and desserts at extra cost. The meeting will take place first at Halfords Eastern Avenue Gloucester and then a short drive of 16mins to Sunday Carvery at 2.15pm, I am trying to avoide ariving at the greyhound before 2.15 to remove the fact that the carpark will be full as last year, although we did get around it. Please put your names below if you wish to attend. Link to last years event video :cool: http://www.interwired.co.uk/zed/sw_jan06.wmv 1. Gruntpa64

T-cut and rubbing compound
Only in extreem sunlight (not in the UK) What you need is to have your car machined to cut the clearcoat, it would bee £80 to £100 well spent

T-cut and rubbing compound
Ok I worked for ICI Auto Colour, PPG (now the same company) and also Max Maya. 2 pack is a generic term for a paint that has 2 parts to it ie: Paint and activator, These are mixed together in the correct ammounts like resin and hardener. Two pack paint can be solid colour that is applied with out a second prodoct over the top teh colour goes right down to the primer. The second is base coat and lacquer both these products are product and activator, but the basecoat gives the colour and the clearcoat gives the shine. Solid colours fade with UV, red the most! With the clear coat the fade is less as the product has UV sceening so fade is less as the base coat dose not get effected! Single pack paints do not have activators, these are mainly Cellose or Tractol type paints and the automotive world no longer implaments this type of paint anymore. Most new automotive paints are now aqua base and no longer 2k products ie spirit/resin The reason your car is baked in a low bake oven is to cure the mixed paint and activator, and give a durable finish also it speeds the hardening prosess up Hope this helps a bit If your car has clear coat you should not use a cutting compound that contains AMONIA, as this yellows the clear coat. T CUT ORIGANAL has AMONIA in its chemical make up, and WILL yellow your clearcoat. There is now products for clearcoat cutting, use them!! Safe cut is the most common. Allan
