Just car Shaz. Im paying about $700 a year on the Stagea. Just Car certainly weren't my first choice of insurer, but they seemed to be the only ones interested.

Interesting that nothing was mentioned about the fact you were taking photos when you should have been concentrating on driving your car. Typical WRX driver.

Sig worthy.

Yeah, thats the feeling Im getting mate.

Also, tips to get small scratches and swirl marks out of black paint? I can send you some pics of the areas in question if thats easier?

I put up with people from amnesty, red cross and now the cancer council almost daily hounding me!! Throw in the greens, green peace, unhcr, save the forking children and I've well and truly hit my limit for the number of fuckstains wanting me to sign something or give money. Seriously cubts, right off.

theres a meguiars product called Swirl X remover (or something to that effect, i cant remember exactly) is pretty good. ive seen it used on several cars to remove swirl marks and it works well.

i know meguiars also do a polish specifically for black cars also, but never used it or seen it used on a car

Just pulled both door actuators out of the E30.. both are seized up to the shit house..

Went to Jaycar and they have almost replica ones.

Replica door actuators that fit a car that is 25 years old.. so much win.

@Shaz - Remove or hide? Removal is a multistage polishing process. Its time consuming and requires multiple buffing pads, compounds and even different machines. Plus a fair bit of experience to do it well.

Did you have a polisher?

Personally Id recommend Chem guys Blacklight as a single step approach. It'll do a bit of polishing, a bit of filling and give you some protection. It won't get out deep scratches

also for the record Meg's swirl X is full of fillers and is generally regarded amongst pro detailers as utter rubbish.

Dont mind mate. Removal would be better, but also don't mind hiding. I do have a polisher, but its one of those supershit auto dual handled POS.

Chem Guys Blacklight - Got it.

Thanks mate. I really need to pay someone to go over the whole car I think.
