    Snow Foam Problem!

    What pressure washer are you using? The lower the power, the less "shaving foam" the consistency.

    Should I buy a machine polisher? OR do it by hand?

    It was a joke. I R not sure you got it?

    Should I buy a machine polisher? OR do it by hand?

    I've heard some body shops are now offering to correct their own work. All at the customers' expense of course.

    New Car, Gone Jap, Celica GT4 ST205

    Always had a soft spot for these! Great photography as well.

    Waxing over a nano sealant?

    The nano sealants tend to be self cleaning. So yes, the wax won't last any longer than mud, grime etc.

    Glass polish

    Nor have I interestingly. It's the front that appears to react to heat or washer fluid.

    Vodafone issues today.

    I don't have a mancunian accent either and Eysh doesn't sound like S to me.

    Buying an iPad 2

    Precisely. I still have the box and before I had a case, took it everywhere in its box... sad, but it kept it protected. The receipt was probably somewhere in the box as well, but Zee Germans had no issues. Think you'll be fine and more importantly, quids in :)

    Show off your beading

    Use a sealant or wax on top and you'll get proper beading like the rest of the thread ;)

    Meg 250

    I wasn't the only one then? Taking photos of a Meg? I like them, and look round when they go past... but no photos! Colour is superb, but wheels and panels are gash.

    Should I buy a machine polisher? OR do it by hand?

    Chap, I'm not getting at you, but I wouldn't be giving out advice on DA over rotary unless you are certain yourself. The reason people treat Rotaries with caution is because you can f**k up your paint. Badly. Granted you can do the same with a DA, but it takes much less time with a rotary. A 5...

    winter detail

    I used it in a 13 week detail on my S3 when I got it. More than two hours a night and I felt it the next morning. The car required a lot of machine polishing and stayed in the garage for a long time as time was not on my side. Not something I want to do again. A light rotary will help more than...

    winter detail

    Things like softstart, better motors, lower starting RPMs are the main differences Dave. Aluco, even with my Forearms, it was heavy.

    Heavy. Previous experience in rotaries? Kev will be along in a second to review it for me, but while we're waiting I suggest the CYC Rotary (based on his chattings).

    winter detail

    C2 will last. C5 on the wheels and C4 on the trim. As I've said a couple of times in threads like this, these products are great for Winter, granted. But they are also perfect for those of us that don't have access to a water source - hence C2 has been a life saver since my move to London.

    Poorboys. Smells like bubble gum? Great product. But not C5. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.528600,-0.127627

    You've just done your wheels, haven't you Fringe?

    Likewise on the wheels front. The C5 went on the R8 wheels. Blast with the pressure washer and they're clean!

    Buying an iPad 2

    Surely you just bring it back in your hand luggage as something you've bought? No one checks to see if my iPhone or iPad were bought in Germany when I travel abroad... they presume I have bought them and brought them on a journey from start to finish...

    You just wait for C4 and C5, Dave. You'll never need anything else.

    Been asked to be a BWAB

    Precisely why people came to me, Jack. The price and time, and therefore the expectations, were paint correction. Snow foam, wash, clay, wash, dry, polishing stages as necessary, seal. Wheels were cleaned not detailed. I would usually add tyre shine and trim gel as finishing touches.

    Glass polish

    Likewise Dave. The window on our shower (glass panel for an open shower, not bath, so right next to the shower head) was opaque with lime scale (Clapham, so hard water like you). Lime scale remover (with gloves on!) then process above and it still beads. Just needs a rinse over after use with...

    Glass polish

    Wash with pH neutral. Clay. Wash again and dry. Polish with glass polish. IPA wipe down to remove oils. Then your chosen sealant. The IPA wipe down could mean the difference between 10,000 miles and 30,000. Having said that, the GTechniq system seems to work very well together. Worth getting...

    Stage 2? So it must have a FMIC, 3" Down Pipe and Turbo Back Exhaust?
