I opted for the Clear variant of the spay can.
I first prep the alloys with Isopropyl Alcohol:
I then spayed 5 even coats of...
Iv'e always known that, tell me something new ;)
I dunno really would like to see them side by side, I may buy have to buy some CREE's anyway as to get a brightness equal to them I have to buy a bulb with 120 diodes :lolup:
When do you draw a line and say that anymore diodes are stupid?
I...
Thanks Buddy,
You should be ;) ha, I am very pleased with them :)
I will hold fire with the link as I have had some problems with them actually, they seem to flicker while indicating.

After CSS 2013 and experiencing McGherkin's LED Reverse lights I though I better get my act together seen as I had done the front sidelights and Interior bulb (Which I never updated :S, I will)
Arriving on the campsite the day before CSS at 10:30PM was least to say far from boring. The chaps...

I actually stuck my hand in through the speaker hole and can report that in the sweltering...

If you want to see clean look at Tom's 182 (ArcticClio182FF) absolute perfection!
You have to remember yours is black and black cars only ever look good when they are clean :)
Copied off the Website mate, it explains it a little better than I could ;)
A possibility I may make this product popular on here :p
Nanolex Ultra Glass Sealant is the non-plus-ultra coating system for automotive glass surfaces.
The system contains the highest technically possible amount of...
I didn't think it was too much but it certainly filled the whole 255 litre boot capacity :o
I thought at one point I may have had to ask for my money back because I wasn't sure if I could't fit it in :D
7th July 2013 – Waxstock 2013 (Peterborough)
A hands on day of product testing, demonstrations, retail therapy and socialising. Not just a trade show, a great day out and the best shopping trip of the year for any keen detailer ;)
As well as traders offering exclusive show deals, Waxstock...
