    Anyone ever stripped a thread on a wheel bolt

    Saves the hub getting stuck to the wheel.

    FFS - They look the same on the inside as the outside like I said. Imagine the finish on the face of your wheel, on the whole wheel and there you have it !

    I use a spot of cooper grease and the same on the hub face.

    The wheel place that did my Anthracite 106 wheels did them inside and out with the same colour and a gloss finish, look much better.

    As soon as it is dry just flat the run out. No need to wait between colour coats and lacquer.

    lol - Geek - it is hard enough to find the the front match let alone a colour match to some random grey etch primer.

    The insides are painted in grey type primer - it is not bare metal. The pitting has gone through the primer.

    No need just torque them up properly with a torque wrench.

    Wet and dry wont help much as the pitted areas have eaten through the paint.

    Jacking the 182 up please REAR/FRONT

    I just jack it at the front and the back will come up on it's own.

    Jacking the 182 up please REAR/FRONT

    There is a big thick chassis rail under the car that you can use the jack and axle stand it on it, just be careful not to damage the underseal.

    Torque wrench FTW, most people over tighten the things.

    Claying Technique

    Once you have done the paint, use the clay next to do the glass and then finally the wheels, after which it will be ready for the bin! Works well though on wheels.

    Open to opinions. I Fancy trying new polish, waxes etc

    Should leave the paint squeaky clean remove and oils left behind from polishes, I got some from Brazo but I believe chemists sell it. Not essential IMO, a quick coat of AIO is all I use.

    Open to opinions. I Fancy trying new polish, waxes etc

    Z2 Pro is just applied like a normal sealant - ie to the whole car very thinly and allowed to cure before removal. If you want to do multiple layers in a day then you need to mix it with ZFX (full instructions on the bottles). It is very fussy as to what it bonds to, the distructions tell you...

    Dodo Juice Supernatural Super Premium Carnauba Wax. Is it worth it ?

    I find EGP seems to mute flake a bit, I find the Werkstatt AJT to produce a clearer look. Zaino however gives a very clear glossy look.

    Dodo Juice Supernatural Super Premium Carnauba Wax. Is it worth it ?

    Depends what you want from a product. I have gone for it as I am not finding the time I used to for cleaning at the moment. That said I can't seem to find the time to apply the bloody stuff at the moment.

    Open to opinions. I Fancy trying new polish, waxes etc

    If you paint is in good shape Z2 Pro and Z8 seem to be the way to go. I got some Z5 as well as the I read some posts saying a few layers of each work better on darker colours.
