    G5 is a better idea. Better beading.

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Ambient temp, paint, previous prep work, pad and machine will all have an effect. You'll note a good glaze "melting" into the paint work like butter - it's quite a clear change, Clart, so you'll be fine. If I may, Kev, I'd disagree. It's a hell of a lot easier than polishing, because the...

    Rotary polisher wanting to do it own thing?

    It should want to do it's own thing, which is arc away from you. It's when it starts to jump that there is an issue, this is called buffer hop and is a sign that either the pad is not flat against a panel and thus is catch an edge, or the pad is too dry. A spritz of pad lube (or just QD will do)...

    New project BAM Content

    New prodject BAM Content Perfect example on my "strong" S3; made 225bhp standard on logging g/m2 (none of this rolling road nonsense). With a stage one map people should see real world figures of 250-255. With the Badger5 TIP mine makes 278.75horses or 223.3g/m2 of air on the MAF. Major...

    Lauren's Low and slow MIIILOW

    Out of interest, do you know LBrench? You appear to have the same financial sense. Perhaps you could sell your coilovers to fund your MOT and then buy a new car to put new coilovers on the Clio so it passes next years MOT? Anyway. Enough busting your balls over your lack of sense. Finish the...

    New project BAM Content

    Re: New prodject BAM Content Nice work. Coilies over B8s and H&Rs though... coming from a Clio, I'd never go back to coilovers unless building a track car.

    Getting the best from a silver car..

    Glos is pretty meaningless to be honest. So just stick with the Sealant. Prime is superb, but you've not asked for a cleaner...

    Getting the best from a silver car..

    Silvers and whites I prefer sealants over waxes. So I'd go with something like Werkstatt Acryllic Jett. A few layers, decent protection and longevity. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/werkstat-acrylic-jett-trigger-cat12.html

    Lauren's Low and slow MIIILOW

    You can afford a new car, but your mum is bailing you/your Clio out for MOT? Good luck when you leave home.

    topping up wax?

    Trying to be helpful here, what disappears? Beading? Looks? Sheeting? What? FK1000p should last 3-6 months on wheels (which get hot under braking), let alone bodywork.

    topping up wax?

    You're using the wrong wax, applying it incorrectly and most likely wasting a lot of product/time. Wax should last months, not weeks. Even if applied incorrectly three weeks would be disastrous! To the OP - wash wtih a pH neutral shampoo like Dodo Juice Born to be Mild, Megs Hyper Wash...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I agree with your 3rd or 4th post in the DW thread (nice to see you can use DW again, when did that happen?). I'd compare it to my champagne (the only thing I collect and similar prices to Desire, so an apt comparison in my eyes); I wouldn't have paid, or continue to pay, the premiums for...

    'Descaling acid' vs brake dust...

    Ha! Where's that picture from 2004...

    'Descaling acid' vs brake dust...

    Agreed. Good God, a pig just went by the 5th floor window!

    'Descaling acid' vs brake dust...

    Yes. It simply eats through the lacquer (if used too often) and even used once will find inconsistencies in the lacquer and expose them (read will peel and flake in certain areas).

    'Descaling acid' vs brake dust...

    And label it as a pH neutral cleaner that won't eat through your wheels! Oh wait.

    Jet wash just gave up the ghost

    Hmmm, thought it might be. They (the lower models at least) have plastic impellers, so break easily. I'd go for a Nilfisk personally, as they have metal impellers...

    Jet wash just gave up the ghost

    Yes, it usually means the motor is damaged/has gone. Where do you keep it during Winter? What make is it?
