My Clio span at 35 MPH on the M60 in 2008 ish. I hit very deep standing water in torrential rain; the back end was already light as I had no seats/spare tyre in and I slowly did a pirouette into the side barrier. Luckily it was about 3am, so not many cars around. So yes, it can happen without...
It doesn't by the looks of things, TomSx - first thing is says is "use software to log your cars data?". So one presumes is a tool to draw graphs based on your logs from VCDS for example. Jolly useful! Thanks for bringing it up!
An APC with a decent dilution will help. You could buy Auto Finesse 's Citrus Power (have a look further down the forum for reviews).
If you have to shop in Halfrauds, look at Rapid Dirt Shifter by Carplan/DemonShine or Engine and Machine Cleaner by AutoGlym. Both are great cleaners up for the...
So this guy definitely doesn't like being emailed with questions! Asking whether that engine comes with an entire car for £2,400 and he's told me I need to ask a member of the legal profession to read the advert if I need clarification! Pretty clear he's not from this country (planet) either...
Basically what Ben has said. Think of a shower that looks like this;
This is how my car looks if I leave it having used the local jet wash. And it's calcium which is quite a hard salt = marring if dried, even via pat drying.
They all do the same via RO much like your brita filter in your house. They are expensive and run out quickly (although you can't tell until they really start to go).
Where are you based?
I'd be doing a Google search to bring up the names and links for you, so suggest you do that yourself.
However, I wouldn't bother. They're expensive and need replacing frequently.
A note on this (not getting at you Jay, just worth noting). You should not need to use Bilberry everytime, even highly diluted. If you clean your wheels once, properly, and then seal them well, much like your paint work, the dirt incl bad brake pad dust, should just wash off.
Bilberry is useful...
AS great as Jim's work is, you get what you pay for. He is VERY reasonable, but I fear it may be above your expectations. The other alternative is to go to a hobbyist who'll charge beer money and do an OK job. I use to just provide machine polishing services for £125 a few years ago, as that's...
There are a lot of suggestions in this thread, without (as per usual it would seem) actually asking what the OP needs in more detail. All the suggestions are worthy for a certain job. WWHW as a cleaner with added fallout remover. Echo this for Sonax FE. Bilberry is a cleaner, so is AS Smart...
As much as Marc's work impresses, taking a Clio to him is quite an amusing suggestion. A detail worth more than the car is not likely to be an option to the OP.
Also, if your paintwork is getting in such a state after a couple of washes, you definitely need to take a look at your wash and dry...
So looks like he's on pistonheads. For the price of a cheap tt/s3 you could have... Drum roll please... Just the engine!!
And here are some phone numbers if anyone would like to mess him around.
DAs pro without a shadow of a doubt. Far superior machine and you'll thank yourself for spending the extra when it comes to hard paints versus loooooonnnngggg correction times.
