    32" TVs, not 3D

    Any reasoning behind that, Ronnie? I would as well, but that's because Samsung hold a higher standard in my eyes (completely unfounded).

    32" TVs, not 3D

    Gents, in the market for a 32" TV for the new house - I've been into the usual stores and got the usual sales jibber jabber, but keen on CS opinions. I've been looking at the following (please suggest more within - 32", Full HD, less than £400)...

    Hand car wash or Professional 'detail' ?

    I disagree.

    Detailed: Trophy #321

    Looks great Kev - expected nothing less ;) How far did you get with the 4? Enough for plastic lights too?

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    3M? Yellow blue green with corresponding pads. One note, do AF do spot pads?

    Sealing/protecting wheels

    Yes that'll do it. And don't bother with decontaminating or polishing them either. In fact, throw some mud in with the nano sealant - that should give it some extra oomph.

    The Art of Detail: SL Restoration...

    Surely you have aims with your turbo Clio, that are not perfect but you'd aim as high as poss? But in the eyes of BackDraft Motorsport, your hobby/efforts are poor in comparison, so you might as well give up your hobby? I jest of course, but it is the same process of discussion. I think the...

    The Art of Detail: SL Restoration...

    But how on earth will companies like Heavenly Detail be able to charge £5k plus for a detail, without such dramatic photos ;) Of course it's for internet points. But not cool points. Wow points. So Mr Lambo will happily spend ££££ on a detail. Shock and awe photos work in advertising. That's...

    The Art of Detail: SL Restoration...

    Again, post the thread, not just the photo. This shows nothing. And if there is no description, you cannot guess that this was not just a one stage product. A lot of polishes these days break down from large particles (high on the cut scale) to small particles (high on the "finishing"/burnishing...

    The Art of Detail: SL Restoration...

    I kept going back through the thread looking for this link. Now I presume it's the photo? First off, can't see the link to the detailing thread, so please post it up (presuming you've read through it and they've stated it is several grades of polish, thus proving your point). However, it's...

    The Art of Detail: SL Restoration...

    Without a line, there is no way you won't have gone over the same area or not missed areas. So your point about taking off more CC than necessary, or missing areas is actually what you've just described you did to your own car? Not arguing here, but you have just contradicted yourself ;)...

    Hmm, I don't agree but I understand your misunderstanding. 50:50s are generally not finished articles. Hence you'll note Russ and Jim on here posting "pre refining".

    The Art of Detail: SL Restoration...

    You can't polish a whole bonnet in one go, due to pads clogging, polishes drying out etc etc. So even if the tape wasn't there, you'd still be polishing in at least four stages with different pressures/temperatures etc. You can't prevent this. That's the end of it. You do realise you position...

    The Art of Detail: SL Restoration...

    That's the point/step you perhaps misunderstood. I generally two stage. So the tape will either move or not be present on the second stage (except to protect plastics/edges of course). Polish, tape re/move, finish, glaze etc

    The Art of Detail: SL Restoration...

    Pads, pressure, polishes, ambient temperatures and machines all affect the area you work on. Thus taping in such a way helps the detailer ensure each of the aforementioned variables are at their optimum. I tape the bonnet into six sections if it's warm, 8 if it's cold, 4 if I'm glazing/using a...

    Sky Broadband. Terribly Slow?

    Good god, unless you run a business why on earth would you need such a connection? I get 8meg from Sky. TBH 4meg would do just fine for iPlayer etc.

    Bt line rental, Sky line rental, perhaps I'm just getting old...

    Apparently that's not it. As with all contracts you have a 14 day cooling off periods standard consumer rights... Also, line was activated on the 7th at 7.30am - order placed on the 6th at 2pm so no idea how midday day before would have worked! As soon as I mentioned the above, the arsehole...
