As Xenon says, if you have xenons (no pun intended) then you will have washers in the EU as it's a legal requirement. If you have halogens, you can buy the washers or not, the blanks will be fitted if the latter as the bumper is a single part #.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I'm going to clay it, put a coat of Klasse All-in-One, then Collinite 845 insulator wax, then top it off with Natty's Blue Wax.

Klasse AIO is well respected as a base-prep. Collinite is a very tough sealant wax, and the Natty's Blue is apparently excellent on dark cars, bringing out a lot of depth.

When I'm done I'll put up more picks.

We've recently moved to the UK, so my weekends are taken up with a lot of home chores at the moment. I do get to clean her weekly, but I need to really treat her with a good top coat!!

Advice please?

I'd like to put some treatments like that on my car. From new - six weeks ago - I applied a coat of AutoGlym resin polish. So far that's all that's all that's on it.

Do I put the Collinite on then the NAtty's? My paintwork is still immaculate so would I need to clay it down?
Thanks.

I've found claying a car gives remarkable results. It knocks off the high spots and removes the pollutants so you don't need to scrub them away with polish.

Go to your car and feel your paintwork using a shopping bag as a glove. You'll be shocked. After claying, it'll be a smooth as a baby's bot-bot.

So yes, if you'd like to go the 'whole hog', clay away. You'll be happy. Waxing the car after is a whole lot easier and less of a chore.

Regards the order of Natty's and Collinite, yes Natty's goes on after Collinite.

Reading the forums here and all the rave reviews, I actually succumbed and bought Jeffs Werkstatt acrylic Jett, which I will use instead of the Collinite.

I hope this helps somewhat.
