    Registration etched on headlight

    I'd look elsewhere. Unlikely that the etching will be removed by polishing.

    Good Polish/Pad combo?

    Menz or 3M range have been my go to. However, I've heard a lot of good things about the Scholl products, especially S17.

    Very cheap, very good Wheel cleaner!

    On DW, yes. I wouldn't advise it, as I don't want that hanging over me should something go wrong. But I would on my own car TBH.

    You need to top off Blackhole with a sealant or wax, yes. Otherwise all of the fillers will just wash away. The Natty's Blue is a very good wax. Cheap but punches well above its weight.

    Seems a little strange when you can get decent chemical resistant ones for £5 from B&Q...!!

    Yeah it still works well at 1:1 with water. But the main issue is the spray head supplied with the bottle. Best to empty a bottle out into a pump sprayer with a finer spray head, then top up with water.

    Auto finesse

    Nothing specific, it was enquired about a few weeks ago. Only thing we can suggest is i4d 5-7.5% discount for CS users and free postage offers from PolishedBliss.

    Cheap Microfibres at Asda

    Clean CD with no marks on the underside. Wipe the MF across the CD with as much force as you would use to remove wax/polish/using a QD spray. If it marks the CD finish, it will mark your paint, thus is no good. If not, it's paint "safe".

    Cheap Microfibres at Asda

    Recently? If so, I'm not up to date. I'm talking two years ago, so probably not clever to brand them all the same...

    Cheap Microfibres at Asda

    The very same. IIRC they don't pass the CD test, but for gen purp they're good value. Aye, again, don't pass the CD test but worth the cost for some cheap dirty work ones. YB; my Halfords trick still works with the Demon Shine Rapid Dirt Shifter...! £2.25 heeyoooooo.

    CD test pass = cheap MFs. CD test fail = cheap MFs for tyres/interior/glass/engine/arches... Win, win.

    No worries buddy. To follow on from the above - test below is straight out of the bottle; The reaction that then takes place creates a substance that is not pH neutral, but it's contained in the liquid and therefore is perfectly safe. There is a massive post by someone on DW who has even...

    No, they need a receipt or photo unfortunately.

    Still got the receipt? If so, would you send me a photo via pm?

    Very cheap, very good Wheel cleaner!

    Yeah that's what Tesco have been told to say. I highly doubt it is being discontinued. It's just they wanted to get rid of stock. Think how many bottles they've sold at £1.73 - got people hooked because it is an OK product that Joe Public can see working, now it's £6.99 (cheaper than Halfords...

    Mikes86 agreed, good advice. 1:1 with water in a better pump spray is where it's at. Andy, glad it arrived chap! Lemonnobby - £4 if you can find it, IIRC.

    When I'm not on the phone I'll find the DW thread that explains it for you.

    The reaction is the same as iron-x. So yes it is no longer ph neutral when it reacts but the reaction is contained so it doesn't affect paint or lacquer.

    So I'm struggling with the second batch unfortunately gang. Halfords that I ordered from put a stop to it second time around citing out of date receipt and I wouldn't be allowed the 342 offer. However, hoping to have sorted it at another branch. I'll update you when I know more.

    Bring exhaust tailpipes back to life

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitting_corrosion Prevention is the only way. Once the damage is done, it's irrepairable.

    Bring exhaust tailpipes back to life

    It sounds like the exhaust has pitting in the metal finish. I'm fairly certain these are not repairable.
