I use the Carpro perl for the blacks, unless anyone has anything they think its better. As much as I love driving my car I absolute hate the amount of black plastic on the exterior. I don't think I'd get another that had it. I'd pay more to have a better quality finished car.

Do you dilute it at all? When I picked my car up they warned me about using the premix stuff but I wasn't paying that much attention.
Yes 1:2 mix for winter.
1:2 dilution for -12C from what I can gather and 1:3 should be good for around -5C ish
Thanks guys, normal tap water or do you use de-ionised/filtered water. I'm in a hard water area.
Will be normal tap water for me (and I'm in a hard water area)
In theory no - but there have been known issues with BMWs and Minis (including my R56 that I solved myself) where the washer pump filter gets clogged with congealed residue.
it's down to mixing different types. On some cars it's a pain as accessing the water bottle or filter can be difficult. However, if you do find your washers aren't working and can hear the pump and it's clearly not frozen then pop a couple of steradent tablets in and next day they will be working fine. I have done this as my MOT was due in a couple of days a few years back so was hunting originally for how to get to the water bottle - on a corsa it might be a wheel arch liner removal which I didn't really want to do and found a post about steradent tablets so gave that a go and sure enough it worked.
I found it's fine just tootling around in normal mode when you need to, but yes, the 1.5 in sport mode is plenty fun enough really.
Annoying thing about sport mode is that it makes the steering so gratuitously heavy...
Yeah I thought the steering was mental heavy. But I thought it was that level across all modes. The one in my Clubman Cooper s is so much lighter and prefer it. I think it has the auto variable rack.
