You put soapy water on the bonnet or area your add the decals too, this lets the decals slide around till your happy where they are then press into place, let the water dry, all done. It's a great way of fitting decals.

It should be the only way. Only easy way to guarantee they're a) in the right place and b) no bubbles. Google it!

Yeah I know what you mean. Like when I was broke and things on the mini broke and it was raining a lot around that time and I had to walk everywhere

Mine has been off the road for 8 months. I've been trying to see the silver lining in how much fuel I've saved!

Polished mine and gave it a couple coats of wax. First time it's actually looked good in the rain, then the passenger footwell filled with water. Oh well ;)

Not sure what to do.... I hate complaining especially on ebay having been the other end but I bought a steering wheel described as new and its clearly not :/

You might as well ask. You may be lucky and the seller just refunds. Even if you have to return it, it would be worth it. I have been on the end of complaints myself on ebay but this still hasn't stopped me returning stuff if things aren't as described. I do always give people a chance though as sometimes genuine mistakes are made. I've only ever once had to leave negative feedback for someone.

If there is a problem, then tell them about it. It's the crooks that claim things are described wrong to get refunds that annoy me

A while ago I was selling off loads of army clothing. I described a pair of trousers as new, and accidentally sent him the less than new ones. When he messaged me, I double checked and had sent the wrong ones so just sent the new ones to him and told him to keep the old ones for the inconvenience! By the time I paid the postage for the new pair, the return of the old pair it wasn't worth the hassle getting them back. A nice happy customer! Sometimes mistakes do happen, so just get...

ones faster than the other :p
I prefer the slower one, as it gives you time to wipe off with a clean wipe before it evaporates. Fast is good for small panels though

Fast is better in colder conditions where as you need slow for warm conditions.
Typically in a bodyshop scenario, you would use slow in the booth prior to painting and fast out in the workshop
