    Cleaning metal filings from track car?

    Can you send me some links, Kev? I thought I'd covered them all on DW but not seen that one. TBH, might have glazed over it. Cheers Don, but keen to see experience of it as well as most packaging/instructions are useless! Not poopooing your point, but if it does what most on DW claim...

    Machine pad question.

    It depends on what pads come with it. Ideally you need a cut, finishing and glazing pad. I would wait and see what you get, as they will no doubt work well with the rest of the AF kit (the polishes) and concentrate on the necessity of spot pads (smaller pads for tighter areas - a must on...

    Cleaning metal filings from track car?

    It is in some Tescos. Weekend just gone was the first time I thought to check my local Tesco fuel station, having done a shop and not found it (large Tescos). Hence buying four bottles of it to last me. Depends how desperate you are for it. for a 10 mins search through a thread (can't find the...

    Cleaning metal filings from track car?

    I would tend to agree with Kev, and say IronX as a dedicated iron remover. However, having tried the Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels product over the weekend (a new-ish formula that turns red when it reacts with ingrained brake dust, not the brick acid wheel cleaner we all know and hate), I'd be...

    Advice please

    Christ, time flies fella. I moved to London about the same time. If you're local to PB it's worth popping in to discuss and get some advice. IronX will remove contaminants in your paint (wheels are painted, as you know, so same applies, more so in fact due to brakes containing iron). There are...

    Advice please

    Tar - Tardis from PolishedBliss (or a friend in the NW if memory serves you're from around my old area?) Iron in the wheels/fallout like the ash spots - IronX Both are spray on, wipe with a microfibre, when wash/pressure wash.

    A Jag I had in today...

    I honestly love your attitude, Danielsan. Here are some photos, fucktards; don't like them? Get shafted. That's how I read it anyway! All in a Brizzle, five half pints of exhibition cider from Corrie Taps down, accent!

    WaxyBox

    Also, as far as I'm concerned, I don't want a surprise. If I'm worried about the cost of products, I'll buy samples from other members (Glasur) or buy and sell on (GTechniq products like C4).

    Headlights - Need suggestions/tips?

    On a serious note, clean them up, IPA wipedown to remove oils, then seal them with GTechniq C4. http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/exterior-coatings/c4-permanent-trim-restorer/

    Paint Correcting in tricky to reach places

    OP. Look into a decent hand cut pad, such as the Lake County ones that Polished Bliss sell. As has been said above, the simple answer is it requires more time. Either in the removal of plastics/trim/badges and then using a spot pad, or polishing by hand. I opt for the latter on cars I don't...

    Black V6 - M40 last night around 7pm

    Only one guy in the car, Dawny. Short, aviators. And it was clean. Not OCD shiny ;)

    Brand new car on Monday, Cquartz ok at 10-13 degrees or better to wait?

    Depends where you're applying it as well. If you have a garage get some lights on and an oil heater - should raise the ambient temp a few degrees.

    Black V6 - M40 last night around 7pm

    London bound. Looked lower than norm and had bucket seats. Pristine from a glance. Guy was clearly enjoying driving it. If you're on here, I was the nosey bloke in the red S3. Jamie

    bargain shampoos ?

    Hyper wash. pH neutral and has the best dilution ratios of any in this thread. Thus bulk and cheapest/most cost effective to use.

    Remaps/Reflashes/ - What changes?

    Surely it's also to do with safety and tolerances of parts? Running a turbo engine with a "leaner" map (more power and better fuel economy) is more likely to bust your engine/rods than the standard map. Certainly the case on my S3 anyway.

    The Megane weekend detail

    To add to the claying adviCe, put clean, old towels around the bottom of the car where you're claying. The bar can become slippy with clay lube, so if you drop it, you don't need to throw it away with this precaution.
