Raider 22

[simon7929]

Anyone had this vehicle please, NJ12 YXB? Very nice condition and low mileage. Had it out for a test drive yesterday. Seems to drive fine. Just digging around before I make a decision. It's a Red one by the way.

Not aware of that one but I can tell you only 11 red raiders were registered in the UK, 3 of them had Sat nav the other 8 had the RS Monitor.

Thanks, it has the monitor. Amazingly there is another one not far from where I live in Red too. At first I thought it was that one but I saw it parked up last week in the usual place and the reg was L prefix.

Did you make a decision about the Raider?

 

[simon7929]

Yes. It's on the drive now as I type. Great car, very dirty at the moment though. I'm a bit worried about washing it.

Saw this at the Malton Meet. Parked not far from me on the field. Looked fantastic, took a pic as I've never seen one before

 

[simon7929]

Thanks. I'd just had it cleaned at Swissvax in Knaresborough.

That Opaque stuff applied at the end really brings out the colour! I was never really that keen on the Red Raider until I saw that!

Looks good! I've only ever used Swissvax opaque on mine - it is decent but pricey.

Have you ever tried any other manufacturers products?

 

[simon7929]

Thanks. I've never used anything on the paint as I'm to scared in case it all goes pear shaped.

Best go for the Sweissvax....easy to use

I think I'll just have to bite the bullet and get my wallet out...

I use Dr Beasleys matte car care kit (Bear Wax Factory £94) on my stealth grey raider,Angelwax on the same site do matte car poducts(there other products are very good).Another good product is from Nanolex at Polishedbliss for about £84 per kit.If price is a issue Autoglym detailers use their own bodywork shampoo and sealant as per their website on Audi and Bentley cars (have used these products when I first got the car).You can use a ph neutral snow foam such as Angelwax or Carbon Collective.Hope this helps Simon.

Thanks, never had a matte painted car so it's a little worrying for me when it comes to cleaning it.
