    Cleaning greasy car before paint job.

    Thinners/panel wipe in a pump sprayer. It evaporates quickly. Grab a couple of cans of brake cleaner too for the intricate bits.

    172 in a mk1, Superfatdan's very very long project....

    So... tracks are back open and that can only mean one thing!! Time to book as many as I can for 2021! first of all, I needed to drag it out of storage. So tightened the straps, checked the pressures on the trailer tyres and dragged it back to my house. I then loaded up the van with the...

    20k miles Clio 172 - £12,995

    If he actually bothered to prep it for sale, (even cleaned it?!) then it could make that I think. but it looks like a £2000 car in its current state.

    Judging by the MOT history they probably left it in the sea with the car. 😂

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Interestingly, I had a guy call up on a 2012 Jag that I’m selling. “alright mate. Is it in immaculate condition?” no “Why do you mean? Is it battered??” no. It’s a lovely example and we’re pleased to have it in stock. Will make someone a lovely car. “But it’s not immaculate?” no. It’s 11...

    All Mk1 owners get in here 🙂

    I thought as much. I need better suspension. It’s great fun as it is but I’ve got new, better, tyres going on it tomorrow and I predict my trackday on the 26th will leave me wanting more from the car after that upgrade. was stabbing in the dark that a RARB kit will cure my issues but I’ll have...

    That’s been painted badly and the moisture from the primer is coming back through.

    Guys and gals... I’m looking for an all in one polish that I can use on a DA. Any recommendations?? I want something that is easy on/off, brings shine and fills a few swirls. (Bad cars will have a proper machine polish) The cars are kept indoors so not worried about longevity. Autofinesse...

    Russ 16v's Cup Road Racer Blog.

    Yes, it’s properly properly fast. Is he in the same class as you?? I can’t see how a 300+BHP car can be any fun in that class when he’s literally just driving around people with so much ease. 1.17’s?? That’s good mate, especially with 2 years off. I’m a constant 1.21 on old s**t tyres and...

    Where do you store yours?

    Depends where you live mate. In a busy town, around £12-1500. Out in the sticks, £300 maybe?

    Car dies after hitting a pothole

    Don’t quote me on this but I’m pretty sure the mk3/4’s don’t have a fuel cut off switch like the mk2’s. I think it’s all done via the Airbag ECU. best bet is to get someone with the correct diagnostic equipment (CLiP) and get them to scan it for any issues. airbag ECU’s can be repaired cheaply...

    DS1.11 overheating

    I can’t see how DS1.11’s can overheat or become crap on the road. I use them on my track car and they take an absolute beating and the pads and discs are still showing plenty of life after 3 full days. my friend (who is a considerably better/faster driver than me) is also using them on his 200+...

    Car detailer recommendations in London and Essex please + what's the going rate these days?

    A proper detail, quite rightly, costs £1,000+. The volume of work involved is mind blowing, before you even start on ability and skill set. if you don’t want to spend that much, maybe ask in here for someone local that does it as a hobby. The results won’t be the same but you get a cheap deal...
