Has been asked a few times but I would first try spraying with a QD and scrubbing with a soft brush, like a paint brush. If this isn't enough try some AG Engine & Machine Cleaner, leave that to soak on for a minute or two and try again. After its clean rinse off well, and you can use something...

My answer as always and forever more: Blackfire tyre dressing. Excellent stuff.

I have a Virgin Media HD box and, like Sky, just aren't many channels on it at the moment. Sure it will improve though, and what they have look awesome. Sky/Virgin + was a bigger benefit though IMO.

I think you are meant to pay... but my friends dad was in a similar situation, had been a long term customer and said "I have paid you £xxx over the past xxx years. Either you give it to me for free or I am leaving". Suffice to say he got it for free and also a free second box for his study...

Agree!

Rear projection are pretty pants... We have a 40" Sony LCD and doesn't look too big, and our lounge isn't that large. Because they are so slim you can have them flush against the wall almost so less imposing than cathode TVs.

Samsung might be what your after then. Nice modern frames and share many components with the Sony range...

I'm intending doing mine a gloss black. I agree with the barbie pink suggestion though...

Jesus, you must be like Popeye now! Scratch X is designed to treat specific areas or defects on the paint, although nothing stopping you in theory doing the whole car to remove swirls. Must have been a nightmare though!

The BMW car you want to be looking out for in the flesh is the 1 Series Coupe... stunning car. The 135 Coupe will be immense. The X6 also looks set to be a big hit, we only got to see a video of it and some marketing spiel but I thought it looked cool and I don't personally like SUVs/SAVs.

Well you obviously are bothered what it looks like otherwise you wouldn't be painting it!! For the little bit more it would cost in selling the 172 wheel and buying the 182 wheel it would be worth it IMO. Have a look around there are loads going. Even if you buy a duff one for like £25 and...

Yeah its all about new ones. Washed ones never feel the same, even when hand washed. Just bought some of the CG microfibre wash, I'll report back what I make of it. In the meantime... might buy some of those poncy white Sonus ones. Bet they won't stay white for long...

Yeah, huge difference makes it if the car has been well prepared (Yoda hijack)

Haha really... after Rich and I admitting to using QD around the house perhaps we could start an alternative uses of detailing products thread. Bet you can't guess what I use the CG new look vinyl for...:o lol (p.s. I don't actually use this as a lube!)

Get Blackfire tyre dressing, not tried the Pneu but can guarantee you will love it.

I only like using new ones. They are so soft and supply... why can't they make towels for humans this soft?! Or maybe they do... Eother way, my car probably receives more attention and money being spent on it than any other human. It was either the car or a gf...no questions, the car won!

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy........ ;)

Brand new tyres normally look s**t though! Gloss all the way IMO on tyres...:cool:

Amazing looking car, true collectors and enthusiasts car. Jealous! :D

Yeah, thats a gash colour too. In black it looks great.

They should be out before November. One thing that is rubbish on it is its featured "suicide door" - the reason they couldn't have two rear doors is due to the position of the fuel tank. It will be a massive seller, looks a lot better in the flesh.

Yeah as long as the pad is firmly secured will be fine mate.

Nice one mate, will have a little looksy. And no doubt buy other things I don't need lol! :dead:

Where do you guys get your Megs Last Touch in bulk then? Thinking about it I do use a lot of QD and could save me some serious £££ buying the Megs in volume... Ta.

Sonus Caranuba Spritz - thats the one. Also, QDs are great for bringing a great shine around the home... lol. Seriously, I use it on my stereo and TV, much better than the old stuff with bee's wax in!

Mate calm down! Claying isn't a 2 minute job, no, but it takes a LOT less time than a proper polish, e.g. correcting swirls and light scratches. It would take around an hour on a Clio normally for me, depending on how bad it is. £80 for a clean and polish is very reasonable, but when you...

Nice car, good detail on it too - and his prices seem pretty reasonable, except his "paint decontamination" service just seems to be a clay as far as I can tell, but costs £100??!

My favourite QD is currently the Sonus one, great on all finishes and absolutely streak free, the Chemical Guys Synthetic is good for a bit of added wetness to the finish though.

I think he said he washed that section of the panel - but yes not the way to go about things in general lol!!

PC is about £100 plus you will need a 110v transformer (about £40) an extension cable (about £15) and a set of pads (about £10 each, you will need various grades and possibly sizes) and polishes to use with it. Otherwise expect to pay around £100 (very reasonable) upwards for someone to do it...
