    Rubbing noise under light brake pressure

    Any ideas what might be causing a slight rubbing noise when applying light brake pressure. Noise isnt there when not braking and also disappears under heavier braking. Sounds like its coming from the front left only. Seems weird to me that the noise isnt there without braking. Dont wanna start...

    Cleaning greasy car before paint job.

    Was going to suggest a steamer earlier. I have a karcher sc3, does the job well for the price. But a lot of people recommend stepping up to the sc4 as its that bit better

    Use apc and brush like everyone else said. But then roll the window down all the way and use cloth to clean the rubber from the inside. Otherwise when you put the window back up you will notice loads of green in behind the glass

    Spray it on the area to pre-treat. Give it a few mins to work, you will see the tar starting to 'bleed'. Then give it a wipe over with a microfibre to remove the bulk of it. Generally need to go back and have another go at heavier spots by spraying some onto a cloth with your finger in it. Hold...

    Nice one. Thats my usual starting point anyway. Probably have to use something heavier cut anyway, seeing as the previous owner appears to have used a brick to clean it. Boils my blood

    Ive just checked their site and it literally says "We are also operating a click and collect service for local customers." Right at the top of the site in a blue banner

    Used them loads of times. Never had any issues. I always look at their stock before looking anywhere else. I think i did see they were offering click and collect somewhere but dont quote me on it

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Traffic film remover would be my first thought. An all purpose cleaner like bilt hamber surfex might also work. I might even suggest some autosmart g101, but that stuff can be dangerous in the wrong hands. From my boat cleaning experience it will likely still leave some staining even once cleaned.

    Detail factory get good ratings. They do boars hair and ultra soft ones. I've got both and rate them a lot. The other ones that get good reviews are the work stuff brand. They make loads of different bristles too. Failing all those, the valet pro ones are a reliable alternative

    Auto finesse aqua coat

    Used it loads and i cant fault it. For something that is just sprayed on and rinsed off you cant go wrong. I use it on lots of customers cars and they all comment on the water beading and the way its easier to clean afterwards. It doesnt add much gloss compared to traditional wax finishes. Its...

    Mk3 Clio radio and clock not working.

    Did you replace it with an LED bulb by any chance. Lots of LED bulbs cause issues due to the canbus system. Stick a normal filament bulb back in and see what happens
