Fapping superb! I was going to say have you been taking lessons from Jord, lol! Best thread I've read in months. Bravo.

Running in a lease car Dave?? You've changed. I really do love these though, pictures don't do them justice (well yours anyway ;) ) on the road they look superb. Like the other, the wheels I don't think are "enough" for the car that it is, and I'm not a fan of the mirrors, but the colour...

I got the .4, tbh it seems great! Link: http://www.screwfix.com/p/nilfisk-compact-c110-4-5-x-tra-110bar-pressure-washer-1-4kw-240v/13575 Cheers, interior isn't quite how a 2003 would normally come, when I got it it had electric memory base spec black seats. It's now got electric memory...

Not immensely, but quick enough. Pre facelift 3.0 is 231hp, the facelift has 255 or something. Lol! I'd quite like an //M but it's too much of a difference in price, and running costs, for too much of a similar car!

If I hadn't given it that initial clean at your place mate (it's what inspired me to go and get my pressure washer) then it'd have literally taken me all day to clean. As it was, not too bad!

Thanks again chaps, I really am loving the car again now the sun is starting to appear on occasion. What one mate? I just did click and collect. Proper impressed. Edited the first photo because I was bored, not normally one for PP, but it does make it look very clean. :o

They were two tone 108's actually Scotland. I had 108's when I bought the car, but they're the wheel of the badman lately.

LOL! That one's too old, wrong engine, all sorts! You're looking for one right? Cheers Royston, I really can't figure out why so many love the winter wheels so much. I proper love the //M wheels in the summer! Ta mate, not enough unfortunately, peanuts! (£5k ish) Sorry Joey, don't...

Thanks Jacob! Carbon black's lovely, I just couldn't deal with owning a black car. Grey's the best colour for me, grey with my seats would be magic.

Cheers Fletchman Cheers, indeed they are! Favourite bit about it TBH, gliptone is amazing for cleaning them up gally JD I may try that other product when they get a bit shiny again if I'm bored.

Cheers chaps! It's weird how the two sets of wheels really divide opinion. Those who like stripped cars and similar like the winters, and those who like newer/baller spec cars favour the summers. I am proper loving car cleaning lately, so I can't wait.

Cheers chip, funny thing is it was purely by chance. 5 series wheel lying about, thought I'd try them and they happened to fit poyfect! Cheers chap, I agree on the silver, I do love how it looks a bit more "hard/focused" in the winter though. Summer I want it looking fresh whilst blasting...

Cheers Simon, I really like them too, but I can't help loving the bright 18" silver ones for the summer. Poser spec :cool:

I finally picked up a new Nilsfick Pressure washer last week for a pretty decent price, (never had my own at home before, always nick one or use the unit's one) and I'd been eager to see if it was as good as the Karcher. Worked from home today so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it...

Bloody love that, so cool. More pics of process needed though.

That's flipping proper.

I've ordered the gliptone, so as long as it works I'm happy enough for now. That's mainly for the brothers car, I'll try JD's fancy foam recommendation on mine.

That's what I'm looking for of sorts, an APC that's seat safe... is the conditioner any good? Or entirely useless?

Cheers, I'll use the gliptone on mine, and order the LTT because it looks cool. So even though expensive, the gliptone will rid the seats of silicone? (That's exactly what it was, the bloke even said when I asked if he wanted to pick up my dry cleaning bill) Sent me into a full on rage that a...

Gliptone was ordered before forearms started using acronyms :o I'll give it a go and see. Anyone got any advice for getting the s**t the dealer put on the seats off? It's just like Vaseline ffs!!!!

In the nicest possible way chap, you need to speak english to me, not acronyms. :quiet:

Bought it in halfords on a whim :o No idea.

PMSL, that's funny, some dick at BMW told me the same thing on the used approved 330d I managed to source for my brother in essex, I said if he'd meet the price, seeing as the two cars were almost identical apart from location, I'd take his one. He went off trying to be all coy and cool and car...

Subtle as ever chipster. LOL!

As said, often by the time you factor in the hours, unless you enjoy it, to do a proper job it's normally better to pay someone. There's quite a few threads, one in guides, about how to paint your wheels.

Screwfix, £10 off too. Went to get it Sunday. Do you want me to pick you one up mate? I'm coming to Norwich Thursday/Friday?

Should not be left to get bored: New nilfisk pressure washre, some new brushes as mine are all dead, a few new different microfibres (few deep pile, few large for drying), full gliptone leather kit, some rapid dirt shifter, and an AF tripple to keep me happy if I wash it and it's sunny and want...

Do we have a CYC discount code??

With gliptone, what are you using? Both products? Or just the cleaner?

Now, call me old fashioned, but back in the day before detailing became all scene and stuff, people used to rant and rave about gliptone leather products.. now, I've not heard it mentioned for ages.. what's the craic? Basically, I need a new leather product, for two reasons: 1) My z4's...
