Almost Finished I've spent too much time on the Meguiar's G220 and now both hands and fingers have not stopped tingling/stinging :ohmy:
I hear you Dave, my hands (along with my knees/legs/feet) are aching too.
Happened after treating my car to these over the weekend

Freed off the rear brakes tonight. I could hear them dragging when driving with the windows open and the brakes were noticeably worse than before I replaced the rear pads & discs (and broke the rear carrier). There was lots of corrosion built up in the lugs where the pads sit, which I wire brushed, and then I ground down the edges of the brake pad backing surface until it they fit snug but were free to move. One side of one disc hadn't been touched at all, it still had the machined surface on it! 3 of the pads still had traces of the red breaking-in surface on them too. Brakes much better now and no scraping noise while driving. Got MOT in a few weeks, so I'm going to take it in early just to be sure. Going to get 2 new front tyres and a wheel alignment done while I'm at it - I got a screw in my passenger side front last weekend and upon taking it off discovered that it was through to the canvas on the inside but still had 5mm or so across the middle and the outside...

I bought mine a new gearbox .. well an old new gearbox but hopefully one that is more co-operative about engaging forwards and backwards than mine is.
