Not gonna lie, this has my mind running wild 😂😂

I dont know the specifics on this but surely this is allowed? You arent going near someone outside of your family home and it's on your land. I for one will most likely be detailing the family fleet of cars 😂

My thoughts exactly. Think this person might have the wrong thread 😂

Might pop on to amazon on Monday to try and get prime. Not convinced many things will be available shortly and dont want it to hinder the progress. If I cant get it, I'll just use SRP and then a good wax to seal it all in. Be nice to do a proper correction though as I've got the time

Quick question. With the supposed "lockdown" that might be approaching the UK, I am getting all my detailing gear in order as it sounds like we might all have a bit more spare time. Looking for a panel wipe to get rid of any existing wax / sealant as well as clearing the panel after polishing...

Woke up this morning to this. This is the result of bilt hamber snow foam, followed by EZ fallout remover, car pro reset shampoo and then that really cheap turtle wax spray on ceramic coating I bought a few months ago. Quite impressed for a quick go in the dark 🤪

I'm a bit fan of car pro stuff since getting their shampoo. It's a similar price to GTechniq stuff. Maybe I'll give that a whirl instead. Need 2 wheels returned and then theyll be perfect and I'll coat them. Just washed my new one for the first time and wow. Love that feeling!

It's probably all in vein because the car is swirly anyway. But I just dont want any more lasting damage. I'd rather know that I'm not furthering the damage and then I can correct it. Also a pretty great way to justify all the detailing stuff I've just bought 😈

Havent touched mine since I collected it. I asked the dealer not to clean it too (to not have it swirled anymore). Its freaking me out. need to clean it lol

TBH, a "normal" reply is exactly what I wanted. I like detailing but im definitely not a pro lol. Thanks for the advice. Did you use a fallout remover before?

How have you found it? Been contemplating it against the GTechniq wheel armour. Similar price.

A phrase that comes to mind is this: Better for devil you know. As much as these arent hugely expensive cars, there can easily be quite major hidden costs. Stick with what you know is what I would do. Easier said than done. Good luck :)

I always find the meguiars ultimate wheel cleaner to be really good too 👍

My thought exactly. I would have been happy with just a reduction on the mag offer. The autoglym package was for sure a bonus. I was surprised that it's full sized too as I've been stuffed before with tiny sample bottles 🤪

Just a heads up guys. Got this free with a years subscription of Evo Magazine. Think it was £36 for a year too which is cheap. Didnt need it, but cant argue as I wanted the mags anyway

Oh! Well, that's news to me. I'm sure I read somewhere that they have soft paintwork! Must have it wrong. Thanks for putting me straight 🤘

Oops! Maybe not the fire thing then...... Just keep an extinguisher handy and take care 🙈

Just set fire to the garage. That's always my plan when the car doesnt work. After I've got the hammer out that is....😂

Just ordered 4 new injectors to solve the flashing EML light of death. Excited for it to be running right. Love throwing parts at a car thats for sale :ROFLMAO:

I'll give it a go. I'm aware it doesnt degrade like others so dont over work it basically. I'll sell it back to you? £50 plus shipping. I'll throw in some crisps and a Mars bar?

Yeah! I've got some anyway so it was just a spare. Is that a better option than SRP on our paint?

Ah fair enough. I probably jumped on this a bit too quick. I've read such mixed reviews about Tipple. But I imagine its, as usual, a mix up of what it's designed to do. Great to hear it can be used both ways as with SRP. Thanks for the info :)

That's it matey. Not even touched them yet as the cars been misbehaving. Doesnt deserve to be treated to a wax. Its had slapped wrists and potentially some new injectors. Also. Some of those waxes smell INCREDIBLE. I've had to hide them in a drawer to resist eating them. And before any of you...

Not got a Das pro but it's a DA. I start with soft pads and go from there. Cheers!

Forensic detailing is a go to of mine. Love his comparisons. And his 135/140 is mint. I'm after one so that's how I found him! It was more seeing how SRP managed with Renault paint as I know it's quite soft. Dont want any strike through!

Much better than polishing by hand. Although I suppose it's one way to work those shoulders 😂. Out of curiosity, how did you find it corrects? Want to correct mine before its sold but I'm trying to find the right product that balances cut but not too much cut if you catch my drift.

SRP can be used by machine too which is a bonus. Or so I'm told! Can be very dusty though so heads up there.

I thought Tipple wasnt that abrasive? Just had lots of fillers? More of a refine as opposed to a corrective product? Someone put me right!

Send em my way! Providing they have good spec 😎

The cylinder ordering is in the above post. As for removing the injector and rail it's pretty easy. 3 bolts (one removes the fixing for all the wiring. Take that off to remove the fuel line more easily.) When you put them back in, make sure you use some sort of lubrication. I use WD40 on my...
