That last post comes across as arsey - not intentionally Squirrel. Dave, it should be here this weekend. You around? I've got a spare Saturday for the first time in 7 years, lol.

I don't want Autosol (Toby, I'll reply in a bit). If I wanted Autosol I would have driven to the nearest Halfords. I was after something like Mercury for a one off job, but have bought it now to either sell on or use on the R8 as required.

Strangely, I can post as many times as I like in here throughout the day... wondering if some kind admin/mod has adjusted my allowance?

Ha!

Pipe!

Re: Z4 - Perfect No More A well earned break fella. Staying in the cottage we chatted about ages ago when you posted photos of the clio up there. Near Patterdale?

Whoop. For once I have time to get in there first...

It's technically a form of fallout, so the usual process Kris mate. A good snow foam with APC, followed by tardis, iron-x and a good claying session. If the car is well protected, soapy warm water with a pH neutral shampoo will remove it. Don't scrub!

Using another polish would be my guess, but it's so hard to suggest when I can't see it in person. Are you local to a detailer at all? Where in South Yorks are you?

I wonder what the dilution ratios could be...

An execptional product if every there was one. Look at this link; http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/blog/2012/01/auto-finesse-citrus-power-demo-video/

Completely missed that you'd picked this up!

I bought some German applicators from a similar company and they're not three bad.

Pretty limited and a god awful site. But another one to keep an eye on. Thanks Austin.

Superb, Mr Aston!

Re: Z4 - Perfect No More Is it too early to joke that it was me and I did it deliberately so you'd be delayed and therefore be up in the Lake District when I'm there (31st March onwards)?

I've said this for years. No one listened.

There are MUCH MUCH MUCH better products out there. But it will help the HD wax to bond, so if you have it already/are a Halfords shopper, go for it.

What else do they hate?

Still gassing or left too long. Polish again.

Have you got Toby's mobile number?

Intentional.

Yes but your pipe is clean. Mine is very dirty and full of contaminants.

This is Clio Sport. While I usedally to correctiveness them, I nowadays holeheadedly ignorify it.

FYI information, I wasn't getting at you. I actually find it amusing.

Can somebody send me a sample/small amount of some decent metal polish? I'd text you but my phone/Vodafone is messing around and I don't have Toby's number. Yet.

That's the "FAO Of" of of of the detailing forum.

Awful, awful stuff. All polyclay is. You can't rework it. Mine was demoted to "let's see if it bounces like silly putty, as it feels like silly putty" after 5 minutes.

It's funny if you understand the references to different stages of detailing.

Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance. If and when I meet you, I'm going to order a rubber stamp and apply said phrase to your forehead in permanent red ink. IPA all the way.
