Kit contains polish with pads and a UV sealer/inhibitor,
gave the lights a good wash and a very gentle sand with 1200 wet and dry just on the deep scratches

then got the drill and give em a good polish, would have been better with a DA polisher but the drill was Ok,
in for a wash again then 2 coats of the UV sealer

That's what kitchens are for aren't they ?
Simkin nothing wrong with the door handles i just prefer the original sleeker look, i also prefer the rubber spoiler as opposed to bridge spoiler, i also prefer original wheels or Cup 1's on 944 and not much else but we all have different tastes.
While i am at it would not fit clear lenses to my car nor a bee sting type aerial.
All said, each to their own and live and let live.

Getting bored now ..my car is in storage so can not work on it :( ...... Done too much eating and drinking and No exercise so decided to do what I could on the bits of the car that are in the lounge,bedroom, garden, Kitchen ect :lol:

I've allways been bothered about the scratches in my door glass, seems to be a common 944 problem, looked in a couple of breakers but every piece of glass seemed to be scratched somewhere, Porsche wanted £280 +vat each side :(

I found a company in Yorkshire ...Yorkshire-windscreens that has both side INSTOCK.....amazing price if £70 each inc vat
they are not oem but the the size and colour is bang on :D

I removed the runner from the old glass this was very easy!...Allmost too easy I was waiting for something to go wrong :lol:

started by applying adhesion promoter to bottom of the new glass and then glued the rubber seal on to it
