Strange sometimes, they only really see us when somethings gone wrong. For example their PC's crashed and they havent pressed the save button in the last 3 hours they've been working on it, they leave with a strop because we cant get it back. They must think theres like some special button we...

Dont think so, I'm an IT Technician at the countries leading comprehensive. We get this quite often with people making docs that are 60+ meg full of screen shots, pasted straight into word, then wonder why the document keeps crashing or they run out of network storage space. Best thing to do...

I have SilverVisions, they do have a slight orange tint but isnt really noticeable at any more than 2-3 meters away. More Pics are here: http://s130967247.websitehome.co.uk/clio/clio_silvervisions/# Chris

Ahh yep, forgot Klasse is hard to get in the shops. AG SRP it is then I guess which is a nice polish. Chris

Although you saw mine yesterday heres another, mines Pearl Black too. Was toying with the idea of black front calipers but litterally changed mind when I was picking up the tin in the shop to silver. Chris

I think Klasse All in One has been recommended for paint fade / oxidation before, probably best applied by a polisher or can be done by hand with abit of work. A wax once a month doesnt have to be too taxing, a good spray one such as this: http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/optimum-sizes-p-167.html...

Thanks for all the great comments guys, especially liking rich172's :approve:. Like I said, it was slow and steady. Started about 10:30 - 11:00 and it was about 5:30 when I eventually finished packing up. Had lunch in that time too though, so wasnt too bad for a clean of both front arches...

Thanks peeps, I have actually been asked and have explained the method over in the deatiling section, great guide link in there too from Rich. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1543831#post1543831 Chris

That looks cracking rich, have seen it before and is a good guide. The liners in the clio make it quite easy to basically wipe down, on my pictures it looks like I've not got it all off but it's black paint. Not sure if its some type of blackish grey under coat or spray from the actual paint...

Well to be honest the car is only just over a year old, cleaned regularly, and as part of the usual clean I try and have a rub around with my hand and an old sponge to get any salt or grit out. Today I used a normal shampoo mix of Megs NXT wash, this was used with an old dustpan and brush...

Looks really good, doesnt look like you could trust him with a set of alloys though, looking at the state of those hub caps :o ;) Chris

Had the wheels off the front today with the main aim of painting the calipers. Thought while I was at it I might as well give the arches a good going over and give the wheels a little TLC. All can be seen over here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=135908 56K'ers beware. Chris

Right, had a slow and steady day today, decided to give the arches a good clean, used some car wash solution and AG Engine and Machine Cleaner for this. Also in the plan was to prep the calipers and paint them, had some silver Hammerite smooth to do this. All can be seen below. Enjoy :o . 1...

I think the main DSLR models that most people tend to go for are the Canon 350d, Nikon D50 and Nikon D70s. I have the D70s and have found it really good in the few months I've had it. Chris

We use Scion ( http://www.sciontech.com/ ) equipment at school, allows us to distribute AV sources around the building with remote control facility from a central location. All video is distributed over CAT5e, we use this to broadcast to the 60 projectors and a few tv's in the school so we only...

Think you have some good prices there, definately on the RAM, even Crucial themselves dont sell it that cheap, which is surprising as I usually deal with them directly for my memory. http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/MPartspecs.Asp?mtbpoid=43BD2151A5CA7304&WSMD=D865GBF&WSPN=CT12864Z40B Chris

We have put in 5 plasma's at the school where I work and we have done a few things with the cables, unfortunately I dont have any pics as we're on holiday now. Basically we have done 3 different things with the cables (they are all the same model plasma and cables connect on the right hand...

Of course, its highly likely its auto anyway. May have phrased it a little worng saying its unncessary :o but was just trying to get a little more information on the current system before making any judgement or suggestions.

This article might help abit: http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=27 Chris

NetBios, WINS, totally unnecessary. Lets get a little more information on the PC's you want to network first. What operating system are they running? Very easy if Windows XP or 2000. What do you intend to do, file share, print share?? Gice us a little spec info and we can work from that...

Gonna need a claying I would reckon, might want to have a look at this recent thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=135061 It explains how to do it in there. Chris

Any CCTV at the hotel so you can see who the company was if it was on the side of the van, or even get the reg plate? Thoughtless fools. Chris

Sounds like they've given you a bit of leverage to get the sill plate abit cheaper after messing you around. Chris

The detergent in them is rubbish, better of sticking to your quality shampoo that you've already got. As for the drying bit, yes it uses filtered water to take out the minerals that leave water marks plus the water just glides of but you can sheet the water with a normal hose and it pretty much...

^^ Yep, pretty much the same as above, the Collinite #476 is a really durable wax. Another nice wax that I would recommend is P21s Carnuba wax, very nice and easy to work with, both applied with the megs applicator pads. Some tyre dressing is a must in anyones kit, Meguiars Endurance Gloss...

Pioneer AVIX X1 :) PICS LINK

I'd drop the Hot Shine tyre Dressing and go for the Meguiars Endurance Tyre Dressing Gel. It's a purple liquid and is in a bottle similar to washing up liquid, has about the same consistancy come to that too. Chris

^^ Ditto, AG Glass Polish & AG Fast Glass (Spray). Use the Glass polish for proper deep cleaning every month or so then fast glass in between, both with a Microfibre cloth. Chris

Ahhh. there we go, sounds familiar Rich. Will be giving this method a try in the not too distant future :) Chris

Can get a couple of the things from here: http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/index.php?manufacturers_id=36&osCsid=cd0154b67bc3098866669bb8cc98f1a7 or eBay. Chris
