    The new TV thread

    Got a 75" in my living room and, I can confirm, it is like a cinema 🤣. Waiting for an opportune moment to buy the smaller rear speakers to go with the sound bar and sub too for full surround sound. Most of the comments I get about the TV are 'WTF'. But, honestly, I absolutely love it. The wall...

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    If I didnt do what I do for work, id probably just not care and have one. However, rocking up to do flooring measures to a customers house in one of those? Probably not ideal 🤣

    Ive always fancied a go in one of these. I bet id love it, but its just how it looks. Im sorry, but its gopping.

    It was amazon, not ebay (probably same difference) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BXH9W3Q6/?tag=cliospnet01-21 Im surprised at how solid it was. You know sometimes they're flimsy and s**t? This is definitely not that

    So, after posting about the 'bucket buddy' that @Louis then steered me off, I got home to a present from my BIL & SIL.... .....A f**king bucket buddy 🤣 What are the chances! Still, I think its an ebay jobby but seems solid AF. Enough room to store plenty of brushes, holes in the bottom and...

    Had my S23 Ultra for months now and never thought to download GBoard - downloading as we speak. The Samsung keyboard really does get on my tits!

    Cheers Dan! I hate carpet arches, theyre a PITA. But, considering some of the stuff I work on, id rather not be tearing them up 🤣

    Oh damn! I didn't even think of that. I'll pass on them then. So I'm guessing just a good old fashioned scrub (my usual method) is the way forward?

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Anyone got one of those 'Bucket Buddy' things? The clip on things that you can store your spare brushes in? Im constantly finding im having to root around for my little brushes in and amongst the big ones and its grating on me a bit. Also, those turbo nozzles for the jetwashes. I see them...

    Wifi Extender Needed

    Ive been monitoring this thread for ages, waiting for someone to explain this so I didnt look thick. A mesh is definitely something I need to consider then. Router is at the front of the house (wonderful for wifi down in the garage!) but the kitchen, conservatory and garden can be very lacking...

    Recommend me some Headphones

    Whilst im definitely not an expert on this kind of thing, I really did struggle to tell the difference. Again, im not an Apple user, so maybe im not the person to ask. However, it wasnt until my brother gave me his genuine ones to try that I actually noticed a difference. Even then, it wasnt...

    Recommend me some Headphones

    A few months back, prepping for might flight to Japan (14 hours), I had that 'Oh f**king s**t' moment. In the house move, id lost my charging cable for my large over ear headphones - Nuraphones. Theyre a special charging cable (of course) and with the flight the following day, I was wrecked. A...

    Recommend me some Headphones

    @Clart I had a couple of pairs of fake airpods. Gave one set to the wife who really doesnt care about audio quality and she used them for well over 12 months before they refused to charge. Shes since got a proper legit pair as she has now proven she can be trusted not to lose them. Im not an...

    Fallout remover is dirt cheap. £17 for 5L if you need some. Ceramic QD is there too I think?

    I'd defo recommend their screen wash Can dilute it down nicely and it lays down hydrophobic sealant every time you use the wipers. It's brilliant stuff

    neither at the moment. Youve got to wait until tonight for the proper sale. I just checked this to see if it had popped on early and it hasnt yet. Youll know when its properly live as its a massive discount usually

    Yep, got that through the post. something under a tenner (£6.95?) for delivery and a free 2.5L snowfoam....whats not to like? I dont tend to use PH Neutral foam but its handy for when I detail cars with carbon ceramic brakes. Or, especially in winter, if I want the BH foam to dwell a bit longer...

    Just a heads up - CarChem Black Friday deals go live tonight (IIRC) Banging value. Last year I picked up 5L of 1900:1 shampoo for under £20. For the weekend warrior thats years of shampoo and its good stuff too

    as @imprezaworks suggested, Megs Wash + is a great start. Depending on how 'new'/'fresh' the LSP is, you might want to consider going whole hog and getting Garage Therapy Decon shampoo. Use it, with warm water, in the foam lance, dwell, blast, round 2 if you want, then use the same stuff in...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Ive found that rubbish glass sealants are usually to blame for wiper judder or the wipers failing to clear water well. As James said above, making the screen 100% clean of any contaminants but also any previous sealants are a great start. The Glaco Glass Compound is, by far, the easiest way to...

    @CrippsCorner Sorry to hear you're having troubles. At the moment, that side of things is on hold. I currently have no kitchen so I'm having to prioritise that...🤣 Oh. And I'm in Japan. Hope you get it sorted :)

    Here's one for you chaps What do we think about this? I've got this lovely vice that has adjustable angle etc. It was given to me by an engineer and I really want to put it to work. Problem is, the slider is operated back and forward by the larger of the two pieces (threaded) and is held in...

    Thanks again for the advice :) Ill carry on with the stick for the minute and see how I go. I quite fancy building a rack for my spare wheels to sit on - should be a good challenge! Ill also keep my eyes peeled on FB Marketplace for some second hand ones. Interesting about the ear comment -...

    Thanks for the advice - at this stage its all about learning for me. I did have a feeling that stick wasnt going to ever be great for car repairs - luckily I dont need to do any car repairs at present. Its more just learning how it works for the minute as a very low cost option. I was gifted...
