    How not to keep your cool at the Nurburgring...

    Yes, hence my comment of him pulling away out of the corners. And the fact you've let him pass surely proves that he was quicker and thus you should have backed off a bit to let him move up the track...

    How not to keep your cool at the Nurburgring...

    Oh. OK. Would you have let him pass on the straights, as he clearly pulls a decent lead on you? Not convinced chap to be honest!

    How not to keep your cool at the Nurburgring...

    I don't understand. He was faster down the straight; you were quicker in the corners... I've never been on a track day, so I'm not winding you up - I may be missing something entirely.

    Clio vs Audi R8

    I would agree, if the person is as you described in your last line. But then again, when an R8 V10 Spyder goes passed and a bog standard looking Clio goes passed, which do you look at? And I think you've missed the point entirely. The point was the difference between those that buy a 200hp car...

    Auto Finesse review - Verso

    100% agreement! Lol, this was me pissed at 4am. The OH woke up, came into the living room to see polisher calipers... And yes, I do, actually for the same reasons as above!

    Auto Finesse review - Verso

    So here's an update for you on the VERSOtility of this @Auto Finesse product... One dirty three year old iPad leather cover... Spritzed and agitated with a soft brush; Wiped down with a damp, clean MF and voila. Clean as a whistle!

    nice beading

    Looks about right for those products. There are better out there, but for what you need they'll do perfectly.

    Verso at work in the engine bay

    Verso was used in my test of Dressle. Great product, even better with a foaming spray head.

    Clio vs Audi R8

    I agree the last part is too far, but fairly certain it was said in jest, having met the bloke (Goodj). Tom, not quite what he was alluding to fella. And for the record, I've modified my Clio (heavily) and S3.

    Clio vs Audi R8

    What would you consider "putting them in their box"? I'm genuinely intrigued. The likelihood is the driver will be taking their "expensive 'fast' car" back to their expensive large house, before going on an expensive and extensive holiday to an expensive and intensive place... I'm yanking your...

    nice beading

    Doesn't look bad - better than no protection of course. What did you use?

    Clio vs Audi R8

    Your last point is completely null and void, as "anyone can spend money tuning their car". But agree there are benefits to both. I, personally, would rather the Audi over a car that has been tuned to within an inch of its life, most likely stripped to aid performance and relies on said...

    Mop and seal for winter? any takers?

    As above, he is superb and one of a small handful I would take my own cars to. Not a clue, but certain he will be able to scale a package that suits you and your wallet. My advice? Call him and talk. He's a great chap.

    The Chris Harris thread

    Great news. On Saturday I emailed the Drive+ team stating my dislike of the lack of updates from him, Spinelli and Farrah, alongside the lack of updates from all presenters of Drive+. I mentioned I would terminate my sub if this was to be the way of Drive+... just done so on hearing this news.

    Mop and seal for winter? any takers?

    Midlands Care Care will help here. A winter protection detail is what you're after. Give Russ a call on the following details; http://www.midlandscarcare.co.uk/

    Which wash mitt?

    The car pro one is the best I've used over the last 10 years. We've got three between dad and I, all of which are 2+ years old and still going strong. Monthly washes for mine, weekly for dad. Everything else has fallen apart or not given enough to trust how safe they are.

    Sfx3 with a sealant/wax built in..?

    The Panzer took less than an hour and a half the other day. Spent more time getting crap off the unsealed wheels than sealing the entire body work. Granted I didn't go around the car with Tripple too, but still, it's easy/quick.

    Sfx3 with a sealant/wax built in..?

    Yes, they're called AIO/All In One products. @Auto Finesse does a superb example of an AIO called Tripple. The trade off, however, is that it will not cut, fill and protect as well as dedicated products. This is your best route if you really can't be bothered to spend 20 mins more sealing in...

    Polisher and wax

    This is a mine field... As Dave has already mentioned, you are best off hand applying Nattys. It is a superb wax and remains my only sub £50 wax I turn to. Damp microfibre applicator, spread thinly as possible, apply a panel, apply another, remove first, apply another, remove second etc. Wait 1...

    A free box of beers for someone local to Tunbridge Wells.

    Can I suggest @Scrooge as he's a talented wee lad, and you make the 50min trip to Tilbury to The Unit (look in the general chat thread for more) as it's a great crowd.

    ObliTARate - the reviews thread

    @Auto Finesse guys, I've been massively pushed for time this last five weeks and thus haven't reviewed it. I washed the car and used it yesterday, but again, pushed for time. What's the latest I can get this review up to stay on the testing panel, as very keen to stay part of this. Many thanks...

    Detailing for someone who can't be bothered?

    I appreciate that. And take this the right way I.e not argumentative, but surely that means you have nothing productive to add to the thread, chap. Anyway. Let's move on. OP, once you've had a minor correction, AF Tripple and a decent spray on/wipe off sealant will produce exceptional...

    Detailing for someone who can't be bothered?

    Hardly. You've also not exactly added to the thread yourself. OP, may I suggest you pay a local hobbyist to do the work for beer money and then keep on top of it. I no longer have the time to spend hours on my car, but from a joint effort polish with @Scrooge a few months ago, and keeping on...
