    Another Nilfisk Question

    Pretty sure this is the one most go for; http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003M8H6U4/?tag=cliospnet01-21 I also think you can get them without the big pad accessory kit, i.e. saving more moula. edit; http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003M8H6TU/?tag=cliospnet01-21

    Glass sealants, worth it?

    With proper prep, the long lasting GT products will last for years. The C4 on my plastics is still beading from March 2011. RainX works well on the side windows, agreed. But on the front screen it will just wipe away/degrade with use of the sprayers.

    Glass sealants, worth it?

    I applied G1 as I travelled to Birmingham from Manchester each weekend, so 60+ MPH on the motorway for 90% of the journey. It is still beading 2 years later. However, around town, I now need to apply G5 as my car barely moves/goes above 60. *and yes they are worth it - a lot of the time I...

    Protecting Headlights

    ^^chips in the lacquer from stones. A decent wax, or as Dave has suggested, C4/5/the old 1. They are plastic so these products will protect them for about two years. My head and tail lights still bead 18months after application.

    The Chris Harris thread

    Gally has got in before me. I don't track cars, so in my eyes, he is wrong. Also, the new 1 series facelift is bloody ugly! Personally; http://www.germancarblog.com/uploaded_images/BMWM3-738227.jpg

    Pressure washer advice needed!!

    Nilfisk have metal impellers in the pump. Karcher have plastic impellers. That was the reason for my three Karchers breaking over the years and for my moving on to a Nilfisk. No issues since.

    Best way to make ur car stand out

    Naith tried that the other day (replace M5 with M60). Think he got on the local traffic news.

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I'm sure there are people out there still wondering what TBH means, but people will continue to use it... Which abbreviations are you stuck on? If you are confused, ask - we're a friendly bunch (most of the time).

    Winter wax

    FK saw me safely through from September to March the next year (2011). Easy to apply, cheap and comes in a massive tin.

    Winter wax

    Yes, FK1000p or 845 Insulator wax. Better looks than 476. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/collinite-no-845-insulator-wax/prod_208.html

    The New Focus ST

    I hate centred exhausts with a passion. 182, Boxsters, Caymans, R32 Mk5s etc. Other than that, it looks OK. Maybe a bit busy at the back?

    The Aston Martin V8 Vantage

    My ears are still in love with the one that fired up last weekend. 7am after a 21st for his daughter, my best mate, his father and I were cleaning up our/their mess in the marquee. I took the R8 V10 Spyder keys, his dad took the AM DB7 Vantage Volante keys (sports exhaust fitted) and he took...

    The Aston Martin V8 Vantage

    Dad almost bought one before the R8. His words were he'd always regret it, as the original was not as powerful/good as it was intended to be. Two of my friends' fathers have them (dark silver and white with a black soft top roof) which are stunning, but they seem to have the same opinion in...

    Light Correction Detail - RenaultSport Clio 200 Silverstone Number 50/50 - Hard Body!

    Re: Light Correction Detail - RenaultSport Clio 200 Silverstone Number 50/50 - Hard B Forgive me here, as I don't "do" payment plans on cars - will the dealer not rape you for the condition of the car? Surely handing back something that's had a hard life/is scratched, stone chipped and dented...

    Stone Chip Repair

    Don't point it out! If they spot it and say something, be ready with an answer. Don't deliberately point it out to them so they know you're worried about it. Just to point out, filling the stone chips with the following method has worked for me several times...

    T-Cut Original Metal Polish

    It'd be wasted on me, chap. But thanks for the offer. I'm sure Kev/Dave would jump at a sample!

    What products

    You've called it a mop, so you definitely need to give machine polishing a little more respect. Failure to do so will have you typing up a thread in the Exterior and bodywork section, asking for decent local spray booths in your area (with a mug in one hand and a baby in the other, congrats by...
