My contract is up/was up in July. I need a phone and the OH can have my 4. If my contract wasn't up, I highly doubt I would be upgrading early. Quite disappointed, but I get excited when I get something new like a gadget, so I'll live.

Almost text you this morning! Swap for a detail y0 ;)

Sounds good.

Ah frozen foam. How I miss that... Anyway, new unit you say? Where abouts mate?

I can't work out the colour. Think it's one of those that I need to clean to appreciate! Again, not sure on the car either, but photos can be very deceptive. Glad you've finally got something you were after though Nick.

Agreed but the warm water bath trick always sorts it for me. Plus I don't tend to advise new detailers to detail in winter. That's saved for the likes of you and I russ!!

Hmm. Where did I get £500 from... Must be another thread!!

I would disagree with putting off buying a lance. Mine comes in ultra handy for the 3 monthly wax strip. Filled with G101, covers the car, fresh start. £500 to spend will sort a proper detailing kit. Nick, I can really add to the products above. That age of BMW is still likely to have hard...

No, two SMICs as standard and judging by the pictures. Edit - just noted the lack of fog lights. Nice catch clio007.

Face lift interior as well as lights, so the only "parts bin" part will be the Amk 210 unit. Nothing wrong. All internals are the same apart from the likelihood of you needing to do the n249 by pass unless it's been done. Remap to the same levels, k04 turbo etc. Best colour, behind absolute...

Define work. Snow foam does very little, let's be honest. It's not TFR or a degreaser. Search DW for dilution rates and costs by John at PB. Cheapest by far and works as well as any other.

Nice to see you getting your teeth into something again Jords. Wondered where you'd go after the mk1.

Time scales I would guess. If it never comes off, you won't see what lies beneath.

A Hoover?

I'll rephrase his question. Could I please ask why you say this because you're wrong????

Exactly what everyone says to start with. A year down the line when the next summer sun shows your swirls, they post up a thread entitled "newbie to detailing - how do I mask/get rid of swirls?".

No need for the wire wool Dave. As above, hair drier, blade to lift the corner, Tardis on a cloth to remove the residue. Be aware that Tardis will harm leather, so be careful. Once done, air the car and clean the windows with a window cleaning chemical.

55£ could buy you the proper kit. Granted the nice cut out bag is a bonus, but not for sub standard chems.

Chamois and sponge? What is this, the 40's?

No ta.

Lol. Rewind a few months; "I can't stand semi permanent sealants!!".

Woah, great filming.

Meguirars hyper wash. For both.

Maxx, do you know Justin Yates per chance? Guy has a yellow Aeon GT3, big into his bikes, think he has mentioned Jimmy before...

...

Bills seem to be the closest to real figures. The 249 bypass is a pain! Glad I have a later engine!

eBay smart cover and back case in some sort of rubber. Does the jump for £12. Bright orange.

What mods is the engine currently running on Tom? RR my Badger 5 TIP and remap the other day with 269 output. Forgotten the torque but similar figures I think.

Elaborate on the lambswool wash mitt etc and we can start from there. Let's get the wash part right, then we can concentrate on filling, polishing and protecting + wheels, plastics, glass et al.

That it is.
