    Waxing after polishing question

    3-4 days?! How is that possible! I understand 8 hrs..can't drive it daily? Or a pro for a living, that I Understand. Although after doing the wheels today...taking nearly 2 hours to seal them with one coat when suggesting I do 3 coats! It all makes sense.

    Engine running abit strange

    My 197 feels this way too! Feels very stuttery when idle and just about to stall. Perhaps it's normal? Doesn't feel it. I read about the engines being mistimed. Perhaps this could be a reason? Has your cambelt been done?
