Will come soon. Just not at the comp! Fitted the Gruppe M @Ali - can safely say it completes the car!

Loving it chap. Few minor things to sort to get it how I want. Detailed with some 2500 menz, the DA and hex to start then got bored so whipped out the rotary and 3M yellow. Finished with Tripple via da on black hex and Reload. Not perfect but fifty times better. Wheels need to come off as...

Sorry I meant the box - Geoff something?

What's the intake Neil? Just bought a Gruppe m for the z4mr and wondering what other options there are.

Nope! Insp1 is £5-700 for a oil filter etc change. But the indies check timing and shims so quite a lot of work. Rear brakes I've been quoted £300 ish, fronts are £700 ish. I've got a broken rear spring that I'll have to throttle the dealer for in warranty (9 days old), replaced in pairs...

It's a small car ;) I've not exactly bought it for its storage capabilities!

That's a large away bag, suitable for over a week including walking boots etc. so not small but not hatchback.

Or a French one ;) champagne region in April with a friends Brera. Three of us so enough room for what we pick up!

Very large at the back. Not sure why...

No this has plenty of power for me! That is chap - I haven't got satnav so not sure the intravee will do mine much good - have Bluetooth although waiting for this to work with ios8! Given it a one dayer here while I had a spare day. I'll do a brief write up later. Will need a decent...

So as most of you know, after the panzer left me a week or so ago, I picked up a Z4M Roadster. Few quick details; 56 plate Interlagos blue 54k miles Cruise Bluetooth Black fully electric and heated seats BiXenon Completely standard The initial pick up of the car wasn't quite as happy as I'd...

Agreed. Bilt Hamber and very high dilution of shampoo/warm water.

Cheers buddy. Staying away from suspension but have made a couple of purchases. Oem cup holders, aux retro fit, load of detailing gear and... Also have Pirelli winters going on tomorrow.

Proof that this kit is not all it's cracked up to be. Simple fact is you've used to coarse a grade and then not followed it up with the lesser grades/polish. Let me guess, it was roughly 500 grade? Not at all - the idea is to go one way (vertical or horizontal) with one grade, the opposite with...

"Cheshire". Lol.

IronX 1l BiltHamber Autoclay ObliTARate I1 303 Protectant Hex pads, white light polishing and black finishing, spot and full sized Load of MFs All from CYC - even got a call when the clay wasn't in stock and delivered today. Easy. No issues. As per my other orders. @Cliotoby

Echo the questions over W6 @Lawro ? Just put in a big new car detail order with CYC and opted for a litre of iron x over w6...

So it's goodbye from him... ...and it's not good bye from me. Obviously sticking around (who honestly still owns a Clio on here anyway?!). Z4M purchased yesterday and already bought a whole of stuff to go with it (Winter tyres, minor interior ad ons that only came as standard on top top...

No glasses, ear defenders or gloves? Amateurs. As has been said, play the game right and you can earn this sort of cash on a detail.

Going, dickhead?

Why when the hard top comes off? Surely do the painted hard top as well now and then just the hood/interior in spring? Let's have a wee look when I get there on Saturday. What's Ant doing to it?

Not quite, but basically it's an easy on, easy off sealant. Think EGP from Autoglym but much, much better.

This is the point Gooch. Quick and easy means well protected. My car takes less time to wash than yours because I have spent a weekend a year protecting it. I could protect yours in a similar way in the time it takes you/Ant to install the new badmanz boom box y0 on Saturday down T'Unit...

It all depends on how well protected your paint work is (teaching you to suck eggs, let's not start down that route again ;) ). Mine is well protected, so I spray on RDS or CP and jet wash off. The paint work is then "clean" enough for me to feel happy a 2BM wash will not induce marring. It is...

To be honest, CP will do the job first time around, so do you need a snow foam... lots of debate. I personally don't bother any more.

Just PM'd you as spotted something earlier that will make you chuckle.

Time of the month/year ;)

@-Jamie- apologies. Re-read that and as Kev has said, I'm not in the best of moods. You've quite clearly borne the brunt of it. Not particularly clever or helpful of me. There are a few points that need addressing in your routine, which (if you're still happy to read my posts!!) we can go through.

Good God man, please don't tell me you're offering friends and family detailing services, let alone anyone further removed?! I got about half way through... Snow foaming does not equal washing. Especially with the car in that state. You needed a two bucket method wash, probably changing the...

Although this is all superfluous. Snow foam is simply not as effective as a wax safe TFR such as Citrus Power or RDS.
