    what camera do you use to take your pics?

    Well every photo on my portfolio was taken with a D200 (and some with a D70s). www.danfreemanphotography.com Tbh, you're not going to go wow just over the quality of the pics, DLSRs are much more than better quality. Its the usability - not taking 10 seconds to focus, and not waiting 10...

    Talk me out of/into buying a machine polisher

    Stupid question: So theres no reason why you cant use SRP and EGP with a machine polisher?

    what camera do you use to take your pics?

    Ive got a D200 and a load of different lenses. I would recommend a Nikon D80 kit if you can afford it :)

    Talk me out of/into buying a machine polisher

    I know what you mean! When I put the car in our garage a few months ago, it looked quite bad! You never see these marks in the day time! I may have to have another look soon!

    Talk me out of/into buying a machine polisher

    I think the thing thats bugging me is that my car is already is excellent condition. There are very little scratches/swirls etc on the paintwork. So I dont think a machine polisher would be of the same benefit as if my car was in horrible condition! I think I might leave it for the time being...

    Talk me out of/into buying a machine polisher

    I'm in a dilemma. I just cant decide whether I should buy a machine polisher or not. Ive been looking into the megs G220, but I dont know if I can justify spending that much money! I finished properly cleaning/polishing my car the other day (using SRP), and I cant help but think the result...

    Undecided about pressure washers and snow foam

    As my bday is coming up soon, one thing that I MIGHT ask my rents to contribute to is a pressure washer, exciting I know! But Im just not sure whether it would be worth it or not! I would also get a snow foam kit, but are these worth it too? Does foaming your car have any difference to a good...

    Can you polish your car too often?

    I got rid a of a lot of mine (although they were VERY minor) with Autoglym Super Resin Polish. It wont get rid of more serious swirls as I think SRP is quite gentle. To avoid getting them in the first place, dont use a hard sponge, use a lambswool mitt as Rich suggests :D

    Can you polish your car too often?

    Finished both claying and polishing. Tbh, I didnt notice the car looking 'worse' after claying. The bar did look quite dirty at the end though, and there were quite a few noticeable spots and other bits of crap that it took off too :D A few pics after polishing :) The only thing that...

    Right, I'll have a go today as the weather looks good for it, and I'll let you know how I get on!

    Can you polish your car too often?

    Thanks for that Rich, super helpful as always :D P.S Why does a car look worse after claying?

    Anyone got a bike rack for their 182?

    Has anyone seen anything like this for a 182? http://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel3.php?emulate=whycar&query=1407&vptype=&producttype=Bike%20Carriers

    Can you polish your car too often?

    May sound odd, but as Im starting to get a bit into detailing (sigh, I know!), I was just wondering if polishing your car too often had any negative effects? I ask only because a couple of weeks ago I gave my 182 its first treatment with AG SRP (after a good wash first!). Recently I bought a...

    Anyone got a bike rack for their 182?

    ^^ That looks alright! The only thing is, my mate picked me up yesterday for a ride, and I think he has the same rack as you. BUT my Scott Ransom wouldnt go up on the rack because that bar thingy that comes up wouldnt fit through the frame :(

    Good mpg!

    A Small Clean x2

    Nice, but that exhaust looks fekin awful! I hate cars that have had bits added, and it doesnt look like it fits!

    Anyone got a bike rack for their 182?

    If I can, Id prefer a boot rear mounted carrier (ie. attached to the boot) So I can eaily take the whole rack off when Im not carrying my bike. But then, I have no idea what im taking about! Which would be easier? A roof mounted, or boot mounted? And for those who have a roof mounted....are...

    Anyone got a bike rack for their 182?

    As per title really... If anyone has a bike rack for a 182 (mark 2 phase 2), can you tell me where you got it from, and what it is?! I tried to get one for my x reg 1.2, but no luck :(

    Wheel colour advice...

    Im THINKING about considering to refurbish my own alloys as the fronts are in a bit of a state. If I do go ahead, obviously I will need to choose what colour I respray them. I always like black alloys, but I think they only look good on certain colour cars, and I'm not sure about mine...

    Help me decide D1000 or D40!!!

    Imo, the Nikon entry cameras are far superior to Canons. But bear in mind, whatever make you get, you'll (probably) stick with. So when you have a few grands worth of lenses, its not too easy to switch!

    Fallout 3

    I thought Id screwed one of the first missions where you have to help Moira write that book! I blew Megaton up, and thought she died too. But I found her as a ghoul lol! And then she died later anyway!

    Fallout 3

    WTF! Ive just left the citadel with that massive robot, and my mission status is to FOLLOW him. But just outside the citadel is a broken bridge with a laser type fence. He's just standing around doing sweet FA! What am I supposed to do?!
