i bought this off ct-hdi. the plan is to mint it up as i have wanted another 306 for ages
the day after i got it
the old steering wheel is tatty so had a look for another one
the new one arrived
so gave it the autofinesse treatment and it came up well
then decided to give it a wash so out came autofinesse ironout
the car is covered in tar spots and the paint needs a good correction but i dont have the time atm so did one wing as it started to snow. i used oblitarate,clay bar,and autofinesse triple.
thats all for the moment.getting a price to repaint the full front soon and going to take all the seats out and wetvac all the interior. the plan is alot of alcantara
need to get the belt done and order a decent clutch for it. i will try to keep this upto date as much as poss.

Perfect, the green interior cleaner one, do you just spray on the carpets and then stiff brush it in/off ?
Vac after when dry or when wet?

The green one is for odd bits of fabric and for plastics. If you want to do carpets and seats buy autofinesse verso. Its good stuff. Just water it down and spray on the area your doing, leave it a couple of mins to soak in and spray again while vacing off
If you get and stubborn bits then work it in with a soft brush and vac it off. You dont want to drentch the fabric as it will take ages to dry

I do like the way Auto Finesse use such an unreadable font that you have to buy several bottles until you find the right stuff, good way of selling more.
This is looking really good though, decent parts stock there as well! (Bar the HIDs, but each to their own).

For people who want to purchase a blackdiamond cluth get it from larkspeed and not from blackdiamond themselves!! Apparently its impossible for it to be damaged or get damaged on its way to me. 120% impossible

Wow they look really annoying lol. That's shit about black diamond, might find this helps, had to use it recently: http://whatconsumer.co.uk/returning-dama...zbErL52NTA. You might even find calling and quoting a few bits about the sale of goods act is enough to get them moving.

Thanks for the help poodle. Luckily because i got it from larkspeed they have agreed to change it. If i would of got it directly from blackdiamond i would of had a struggle to change it as the guy was a complete idiot. As for the hids they will get changed for 4300k eventually. More blue then i wanted
