With good reason. A large number of people on this forum provide shocking advice. A quick wet sand here. A compounding pad or tcut there. If I see poor advice, I'll jolly well pull the poster up on it. I have no time for phonies.

If it comes across like that, I'll apologise. But my opinions and replies are based on whether I believe in someones abilities or back their advice. If you fall short, you'll find me particularly coarse. If you provide decent (correct) advice, you'll find me to be a gent. You don't seem to...

I would still buy a Nilfisk over a Karcher. The plastic versus metal impeller argument is one sided IMO - plastic is more likely to break.

The last few replies may seem a little off, but so far I know more about the shower gel that I use. Kev, try it and let us know what you think.

And hang on, what ceramic coatings do you know that can correct? Chemically, as far as my understanding goes (and it goes a long way), it's not possible... Surely if it's your product, shouldn't you know exactly what the properties are?

Sorry, but again, it's a black car in a white garage, shot with an "over-exposing" camera. So of course it looks like a mirror. All clean black cars do. The reflective/mirror properties will be down to prep, LSP will add very little to it. Does this product work on wheels and more importantly...

Russ is testing a new metal sealant. Have a quick read in his black gold 182 thread.

As has been stated, the more you know, the less likely you are to be impressed by a (black) shiny bonnet. For all we know, that has just been wet sanded to take away the usually poor BMW finish. Not a negative point, you understand. But much more detail on application; curing; longevity...

Laugh unusually loud ZOMG?

The test of all tests is a PDG...

Tyre shine gives a good sheen, over the more usual "wet look" - I like. Good work, future wife.

Again, Tescos but the glass cleaner is hidden behind other products.

Big brakes, yes. Faded blue big brakes, no.

Let down by the wheels and the gay coloured 6 pots**. And your inadequate detailing skillz y0*. *joke **not joke x

You can put them in the wash. And actually you should. Treat them as you would your MFs, i.e. no softener.

Interestingly, I don't like the skirts. And I also think the wheels are too "see through" so the silver Brembos look odd. Honestly no idea why. Perhaps I'm tired, because previous to those mods, I loved it!

Thought I recognised the tune. Cheers lad.

Chav... ;) Song, Luke?

Sounds like the molecules of the product are sticking. Next time, try a glass polish first to rid of all grime and oils. Then glass cleaner. Glass cleaners don't actually clean anything other than dust and water spots. Hence needing something slightly more aggressive like a polish.

That's the jobby. The aircon system gets moisture, which then harbours bacteria. That's what causes the odour. A bit like smelly shoes/feet.

Rotary? Or Da? Rotary was always 1500 as the top figure. Usually 600-800 below that. Che k out the zenith technique. Always worked well for me with both finishing and more heavy cutting work. Da is usually the same but with spread on 2, work in on 4 and cut on 6 ( then back down).

Buy a cheap "bomb". Pressurised container that you set off while the aircon is running. Halfords were selling them a few years back for just £1.

You won't need a heavy compound. 3M yellow tops with yellow pad will suffice on Renault paint.

Great cars. Great spec. But those wheels are really out of my taste zone. And I'm sure you've explained it already but; this over an RS4? Really?!

Hehasdone. War and peace springs to mind.

DA if you have it. Lighter (especially in comparison to the Silverline) so easier to get round the car quickly.

Will do Kev, doubt you'll want any of them mate. Aucky, any shade? Gazebo?

Fark, that is somewhere in my detailing cupboard :S what amuses me about my "hobby" (read: obsession) is I had a clear out the other day and found about 30 BNIP items :S

Agreed but I don't usually want anything from a QD apart from something that lubricates dust/oils/fingerprints off the surface. A poor product at best. Stick with the Sonus. I've found they can be depleted by a strong APC ratio in snow foam. Worth a try, say G101 4:1 or 2:1. I've heard...

No.
