What would I do without you? Cheers!

Still cant get my head around this. How is it that 1 product is for making trim more black and the other is for a layer of last wax like protection?? Marketed differently but theyre the same product I can get my head around but I just dont get how its such a versatile liquid?

Ordered too.

For us more mortals when it comes to gtechniq, what does it mean that they're the same?

Just a heads up for everyone. ECP is doing Meguiars Spray Ceramic Wax for £13.99. Great stuff.

Maybe he only drives in reverse?

Where are you finding these gems from? All the ones I have found are silly money for the spec or are total lease spec povo. £13k for that spec, from what ive been able to find, is amazing value.

Now it's coming into winter and more road grime etc, I always mix a bit of APC in. Really helps the cleaning power

That would make sense! In that case, any recommendations on a all in 1 tar and fallout? Or separate?

I meant to say TriX my bad

Anyone used CarPro Elixr. It's a tar and fallout remover in one. Used 2/3 of a bottle on my dads car today and was quite disappointed by the results. So much tar that wasnt even touched. Anyone got any experience with it?

I really rate the AG snowfoam. Great smell. Seems to do a really good job of loosening. Cant comment too much in cleaning power as I've never tested that specifically (and my car is never really that filthy)

Well I'm glad my random comment helped lol

That's odd that its come with shorter bolts. The kit I ordered from RPD came with the same sized ones I had taken off. Initially I thought the same as you because the gasket was so stuck out. But once bolted down it was fine!

Haven't come across that stuff. Report back with your findings!

I've gotta say that the CarPro Reset is so good. @Sunglasses_Ron was bang on. Mad dilution and the clean it gives is mega. Not even expensive either

Welcome to the club! You are gonna love your new purchase as we all love ours. To answer your questions: The abs light and ESP light are very very very common on these. Do some googling and you'll find it might be a new abs sensor. Split abs ring or something else entirely. My previous one...

I agree entirely. Both points are very valid. On one side, the club mentality is brilliant as we all, within reason, we look out for each other and help one another. Its awesome. On the other side, money makes the world go round. Everyone likes making a bit of cash but nobody wants to feel like...

@Brigsy ?

What products did you use?

Oh that sucks! Looks like its here to stay then! At that size, it must have been one of those Ebay 'scratch repair' 'kits'. Thanks to all.

I'll make sure I do that. The dilution ratio is madness. I'll have to hide it from the family who are used to 4 squirts lol

Just ordered a 1000ml CarPro Reset on @Sunglasses_Ron 's recommendation. Also went with their TRIX Iron and Tar remover. Excited to get them used!

I have quite a plethora of stuff to be honest as i bought my DA as a job lot from a friend. He went and bought a rupes and wanted all their compounds with it. The spray bit looks like someone has gone at it with some spray paint of a similar colour. Very odd thing to do. Why on earth would you...

Its had fallout remover on it twice from memory. I dont believe I have clayed this section yet but thats due as soon as i can. Ill give that a shot. The car is also going to get a full machine over the winter so ill pay attention to that spot. Ill be using maguiars ultimate polish...that should...

Yeah it does look really bad in this picture. Its spot on in person....well as good as they usually are. Its because 1 panel is metal and 1 (the wing) are plastic. I always thought it was a badly painted door but having now been on my 2nd silver 182, I can confirm theyre like that lol

Hi all, As you can see in the images i have a weird patch of paintwork thats on the passenger door. There is a long key scratch on there and so part of me thought it might be the old WD40 trick when I collected the car. However, after a few months and weekly (sometimes twice weekly) washing...

As above. This happened to mine just a couple of weeks ago. Most likely to be the alternator based on what you've described. Take your battery off, give it a full charge and re fit it. Once it's back in, use a multimeter to test if the voltage of the battery increases when the cars running. It's...

No tensioner or belt change as they were both done only 3 months ago luckily. Not certain but I specified a genuine part so it should be. I'll check the invoice. It's a garage I use all the time for business vehicles too so they're trustworthy

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure exactly as it's the garage I always use and therefore they bill be after. They said worst case £300.
