    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Yeah it bleeds like iron X but it is marketed as a wheel cleaner. It's maybe a bit more expensive than using something that could be diluted but I'm lazy and hate wheel cleaning so it suits me lol. I was £25 for 5L last time and it lasts me a decent while. In fairness though, I've never tried...

    I use autosmart red7. I can't remember the last time I had to properly take a brush to my wheels! Just spray on, leave for 5, and pressure wash off.

    Halfords 2 hour sale on tools

    If anyone's interested Halfords have an extra 15% off all tools and garage equipment just now until 2pm today. Some good deals to be had if you can combine it with trade or other offers! I just got myself the 3 piece bundle of industrial toolboxes for under £300 by combining the offer with the...

    ClioSport Festival 2017 - Book Tickets Now!

    Easy fix! Just grind off any powdercoat around the bolt holes or on the mating face on the back of the wheel. Seen it happen loads of freshly powercoated wheels and that sorts it

    Rear Spring Help

    Is it only the insides that are rubbing? Looks that way from the video. Surely the easiest solution is just to fire a couple 5mm spacers on the back to bring the wheels out a bit?

    Phase ones that won't start grrrr

    Worth checking the plug in the drivers footwell next to the accelerator pedal. Need to pull the trim back to get to it. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen the plug come loose and stop any power getting to the fuel pump.

    samsung galaxy s8 sreen protectors ?

    Yeah I think they're all shite. I tried one and it got binned immediately. Same issues were had with the tempered glass ones for the S7 edge. Really tempted not to bother with one at all but I'd be gutted if I scratched the screen so I settled with these instead...

    Anyone used 'Affordable mobiles' or 'buymobiles.net' ? S8 n00b!

    That was exactly my thoughts too. It's not like the network provider can just choose to leave you out lol. Sounded like all sales talk to me. And as for the phone itself...there's always insurance if anything goes wrong, plus the manufacturers warranty still stands anyway. That's a huge...

    Anyone used 'Affordable mobiles' or 'buymobiles.net' ? S8 n00b!

    I wondered the same as you when I was upgrading last week (also upgraded to the S8 coincidentally). Excellent phone btw, I love it! As I understand it, those companies are able to buy the phones in at a lower price (somehow) compared to the network providers and so can sell the contracts far...

    Advice please........Nighthawk Black EP3

    An IPA based product is probably what you're looking for to try and remove any excess polish (something like Carpro Eraser or Gtechniq panel wipe) but if you wax it afterwards the white of the wax is just going to get into the chips again, assuming the IPA even makes them look any better in the...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Anybody know what kind of idle/average/on load temps I should be seeing from a non-OC'd i7-4770k? As it stands, it's probably hovering around 35-40C idle, averages around 40-45C with some internet browsing, watching youtube etc. and then probably high 50's, maybe into the 60's sometimes when...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    @Daniel or anyone else who uses Autosmart Red7, what spray bottles do you use for it? I've tried various different ones and it always clogs them up or the sprayer starts leaking down my hands after a few uses. Think I've been through about 3 or 4 different sprayers now and none seem to be able...

    Mobile Power Banks/Packs

    I've got one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B012V9H3WA/?tag=cliospnet01-21 Had it in my drawer at work for over a week now and charged my phone with it almost every day (probably about 50% charge each day, just enough to keep me going) and it's only just needing recharged now. 3 USB...

    E92 ///M3 enhancement

    Good work! Got to laugh at how bad orange peel in BMW paint is though. Always so noticeable under the light. Still, looks incredible and is not helping my want for one at all lol. What colour is that? Looks black in most of the photos but a lot of the close up shots in the light look blue? P.S...

    10th Of June Meet

    I could make this. But not in my clio. Showcase could be a PITA depending on the roadworks on the M8 just now. Krispy Kreme is never a bad shout though! @Djw John @Djw Dave @benji93

    Renault 5 Williams Suspension settings (car is at the moment too tricky!)

    You need to start by loosening up the rear a little to reduce oversteer and make it less twitchy. Possibly soften up the rear dampers. My knowledge of torsion bar rear suspension is pretty much non existent so I'm not sure what else you can do there! From experience of 172/182's, 2.5 degrees...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I tend to still use a pad as I'm s**t at aiming with a mouse lol, but the slightly better graphics and 60fps upwards makes the gameplay so much better, and for that alone I really hope they bring it to PC. I have a funny feeling they'll do the same as what happened with GTA V though and release...

    Does anyone near Silverstone (or even better at japfest today) have steel seal/quick steel or something similar, or know where I could get some today? (Mods please move thread if required, wasn't sure where to post this)

    Any tips for applying Dlux to the fronts and backs of a set of wheels? I'm sure someone mentioned the use of cotton wool/make up pads or something before. @gally @Sunglasses_Ron

    Weekend car - Accidental....

    Tyre Leader send their tyres in pairs iirc. Last time I ordered I ended up with tracking info for 2 separate parcels which arrived at the same time lol. Either the other 2 have got lost somewhere or they'll turn up later today/tomorrow. Never had any major issues with them really though, given...
