Yeh, forgot about that stage, don't think it will take me an hour though! You think normal tape that you use when decorating will be ok, seems to be fairly weak adhesive wise so should come off fine.

Brilliant Rich, thanks. I feel sad somehow to give in.... feel a PC is cheating almost or breaking from tradition. I'm sure I won't be saying that though when I can polish my car in less than 2 hours....:D Do you know if Tim stocks the Menzerna range and pads too? I'm at work and won't let...

Hi guys After deliberating for months I think I am finally going to give in and get a PC. My car, and most those I work on, are generally in good nick, only minor swirls and minor holograms on my Dad's car. All three cars my family owns are black. Therefore: 1. What is the best place to...

AG SRP on the outside then just got some TurtleWax stuff at the moment for inside and quick outside cleans. At the end of the day I have clear windows which bead nicely, not a lot more you can do with them really!:rasp:

Is it too late to order?

Mine is a 53 plate and they are black. I suggest all those with dirty silver ones replace them - although I have been told this is a slightly epic task, or longer than you would expect anyway...

I think I must have big hands or something... they always wear out by the thumbs and leave a gash hole with my finger poking out!!

Wool ones don't last very long, thats what puts me off them, how long should this one last for? Have been tempted by the schmitt... also want a gilmour too. Right, back to topic...

Think I am going to get myself one of those gilmour bad boys... the microfibre mitt doesn't foam up nearly as well as a sponge, and at this time of year the more grime that can be cleaned without any surface friction the better!

I'd do it the other way round mate, put the durable wax or sealant down first as a base layer or layers, then put the cosmetic stuff over the top. That way when, in your case, the butter wet wax has worn down, you still have the protective product underneath, and you can just top it up at your...

Sadly so! There is a lot of sticks and stuff downed by the wind though so watching out for them more than anything, don't fancy them grating up my arches.

This is in St Albans, just North of London. But the guy is coming to my house and fitting them for free, all I have to do is open the front door and pay him! If you live in the SE area I'm sure he would be happy for me to give you his number if you want? My Dad's used them before on his Porsche...

It is s**t...think the trick is just keeping on top of it. Also, I drive in the middle of the road when no oncoming traffic as less s**t there than at the sides. You can still tell the car's paint is good though despite the traffic film up the sides and on the wheels, and nice knowing come...

Apparently the P Zeros are a bit softer, especially in the summer so might give them a try seeing as they are the same sort of money. Contis have been all good though thus far.

Hi guys. Time has come to replace the Contis on the 172... These are the options/ prices. Which would people recommend? Yokohamas (£52) Contis (£60) Pirelli P Zeros (£55) Prices seem to be pretty good from what I have seen, plus the guy is travelling to my house and fitting them on my drive...

Yeh... I'm still out there every Sunday morning with my bucket and micro-fibre wash mitt at hand. I live at the bottom of my road, and pretty sure everyone must think I am a total geek. Having said that, managed to meet my uber hot neighbour and going out for a drink next week. Whose laughing...

How the tides have changed! The original Xbox looked like an old Beta Max machine! Think adding the blu ray player was a bad call on Sony's behalf though...too expensive and makes it too bulky. People really into their films will want a dedicated one anyway.

Hi guys... just got a great new Sony T10 camera for Christmas, and looking to purchase a spare battery for it. Any of you know which one I need? Found this one so far...

Just joined this life-sucking community a few days ago. Is there a CS group on there already, if not might set one up. Anyone else feel Christmas holidays give you just TOO much free time.... ;)

Hmmm that is tempting....if only I didn't NEED tyres think I would have to get one now. Nexy pay cheque....I think I have caved :dead::boring:

Hitler was "different" - thats all I'm going to say ;) If you want to change them then black is the only colour other than silver to complement silver. Especially if you can get high-gloss black. Other than that I would be tempted to leave them.

Top ones. Can I just ask - why are you 2.0 side badges in gold?

It should be fine as long as you are careful mate, just use as little water as possible as Rich says. In all seriousness, I am not sure if I have been blessed by the Detailing Gods, but I have never seen any damage caused to an engine when cleaning. Where we used to work we even used...

Haven't used the P21s myself but the 50/50 looks great (although only had the chance to use it once before winter). I've got a pearl black so not quite as much flake to bring out as the black gold on the 182s, looked very slick when it was done though and lasted until I stripped it off for...

Yeh, mine feels great still at the moment, but like to do the full works anyway. Still haven't given into the PC, but have noticed under petrol station lights the bad boy has a few minor swirls. Not bad at all but will annoy me, so might give in finally next year. Just need 4 new tyres...

Cool cheers for that... that photo does look super slick! Not sure what wax to go for in the Autumn yet, got loads to use up still so guess I should do that. 50/50 looks great though I think... Not looking forward to having to getting the clay out....going to be a lonnnnnnnnng day! Cheers for...

Yeh, I have just been impressed with the look of it as well as the protection it provides. Really does look and feel very glossy, maybe the combo with the Jeff's sealant is a particularly good one? I read the Megs 16 provides a good gloss finish but can't imagine it being any better than the...

Have you tried using the Collinite's 476s.... seriously, I am really impressed with it, both in terms of durability (although only applied a month or so ago, but still seems the same as when I applied) and gloss. People have commented how clean my car looks even after a couple of hundred miles...
