Cleaned the car last weekend (its mucky again already....).
Decided to do it properly, so I washed it, clayed it, polished it and waxed it. Got bored after polishing though so only did a quick wax (spray stuff as well).
Here are the results: (also notice I never did get my coilies raised - but I've since bought a c-spanner so I can do them myself now
)
Shiny shiny

Luckily not at speed or particularly bad, its just really annoying! 2 dints in the last few months neither of them my fault 
Yeah both myself and the driver of the other car are all fine.
Its complicated but they are putting some money towards mine yes. They wouldn't admit it was their fault (even though there was no way it could have been mine) so I said we'd just go through insurance then and let them figure it out with the million pictures I took! To which they responded ok how about we don't involve them and I give you some money towards your repairs.
I'd rather pay a little bit now rather than pay lots for the next 5 years on my insurance...

Worked out not too bad so. Where's the damage?
Passenger side front wing. Its not bad really, hopefully going to get someone I know to suck the dint out. Doesn't look like its cracked it at all so hopefully should pull out nicely.
Going to crack open the t-cut this weekend to try remove as much of the scratches as I can also.

A mop? I don't want to clean the floor around it
LOL!!
It's a machine polisher, i want one too haha. So many swirls
Yeah they do a good job just need to be careful not to burn through the paint!!
I found out the hard way ... LOL!!
Still saves you a lot of time but i found taking a little longer with the mop and keeping the surface soaked was a better result.
Ahh ok. I have some form of machine polisher in my garage actually, its my brothers but since he got a company car he hasn't bothered with it. Might dig it out and see what the crack is.
I shall report back this weekend!

Well I dug it out, and its one of these:
Is that going to be any use to me?
Haha I'm a polisher noooob
Haha I don't think its quite what you had in mind is it
Never really looked for an official one.
I use modified grinder, altered the cogs so it spins slower.
Not really a proper update but I like to add pointless pics....
Not bad MPG for a 2/3 mile journey
Also this is the damage to my front wing:
Got a few quotes for this now so will be getting fixed once I've been on holiday
Got the car booked in with a mate this weekend to get a bush changed, front wish bone perhaps? Can't remember! Haha

Its not been a good weekend for me/my car.
The 1st accident was my jack slipped whilst car was jacked up and left a lovely dint and scrape on my sill... pissed off lots to say the least. The only reason I was using the shitty jack was due to my friends trolley jack already being used.
Aaaand the 2nd, just about to drive back to manchester so I loaded my car up and realised I needed fuel. Down the road to the petrol station, I take my key out of the ignition and the key snaps...Luckily not in the ignition. Quick phone call to my dad and luckily he was in and brought down my spare key. Christ that was lucky. Stupid flip key though, only had it 4 months perhaps?
On the plus side my dents should be getting fixed in september hopefully. Now to find out how much extra it'll be to sort my sill....
