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...
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
Has anyone found a good pad & polish combo for a mk3 ? Ive decided to sort my own car out after months of doing other peoples and i really cannot be bothered to get all my compounds and pads out to do test spots.
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.
The premium has been discontinued for some reason. But they were 230 ish from what i remember. Plus the extension hose and the replacement puts it about about 300 in total.
On the topic of pressure washers...
Would anyone be interested in buying my karcher k4 premium full control
Its got the hose reel on the back and ive upgraded from the standard hose to a 10m hose.
It also comes with an official karcher extension (10m i think), the original hose it came with and...
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
Check out unlite. I have the slr-500 and the slr-1000 and cant fault them. Can be used easily handheld but also have a stand, magnets, hook and tripod mount
Anyone interested in buying my das-6 v2
Bought it at the start of lockdown but have since bought another one that gets more use.
Ill be listing it on eBay if anyone is interested
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...
I have the mtm pf22, its more expensive than most but really is better quality. Cant fault it one bit. I would recommend getting a 1.1mm oriface is using it with a domestic pressure washer. Helps make the foam thicker which stops it running off so fast...
Excuse my lack of kangoo knowledge, but what is that thing on the inner wing near the drivers top mount.
In the pics under the bonnet, its got a yellow handle thing on it. Looks like some kind of cowboy wheel brace
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

Check this brand out. Not sure if thats the kind of thing you are after but it might give you some ideas.

For reference its a mr20de engine and was used in quite a few other cars...
Somebody recommend me a glass cloth. Tried the auto finesse one as i bought it with crystal glass cleaner, cleaner is great, cloth is not.
Was looking at rag company diamond one, anyone used them ??
