But Roy, I am irrational. A lot of people are in their own little way.
I see swirls in my bathroom sink and think I need a new one. I used rainx on my shower so the water beads off it and I don't have to see lime scale deposits...
I have no qualms with people thinking I'm weird. I came to...
Comparable was the correct term Roy. You care what your car looks like. We care what ours look like.
The difference is you refurbed what were basically new wheels (madness to some perhaps?); we do what it takes to protect our paint work.
You want your wheels to look nice so you spent x amount painting them to make you happy; Kev and I want our cars to look clean so we spend £££s on cleaning products and protect the cars on long journeys.
The only difference is we are in a minority.
Actually I do give a f**k. Which is why I do it.
What's that? Worth more when I sell it? What a farking silly idea.
Considerably higher loller than you's.
Surely comparable to changing the wheel colour on your car? Do you give a damn what others think?
I don't care if others see my car as dirty. I'm bothered if I see it as dirty.
What's the point in wrapping the front of your car in film protecting it from stone chips? People still do it.
I would be very surprised if anyone I know would charge you.
Pay for petrol, maybe. But it will take very little time - unless there are issues with your paint (low readings). In which case I would be advising you not to correct it yourself without the PDG on hand.
Search through my threads. I've recently redone the S3's.
Degreased, detarred, de-ironed. Then IPA followed by C4 on the plastics and Fk1000p on the metal/paint.
Still spotless 4 months on.
Use 2000 up wet and dry paper IF you think you can get the scratches out by hand polishing. If you have a decent amount of time and some decent polish/pads, go for it. If not, ask a local detailer. I use to charge £25 to sort it as it doesn't take long with the right tools.
Ebay is easy, as there's an app.
Limitations... as far as I can see, apart from playing discs/DVDs that's it. So I just use Handbrake to convert the files that I want to MP4 format and transfer them across through iTunes.
Kev, you'll be amazed at how quickly it replaces the TV, iPhone and...
