Used this today and wasnt very impressed. A week ago I spent 2 days detailing my car, polishing out all swirls then used blackhole followed by Petes 53 wax. Its rained the last few days so today I decided to wash it. After washing it I used D&D whilst drying the car. It left horrible smears - I...

The outer metal cylinder seems pretty stuck , have wire brushed it and left it over night with wd40 to try and loosen it. I guess im going to have to drill out the rubber inner till im left with just the outer cylinder. tempted to angle grind the cylinder as close to the beam as I dare and the...

http://www.optimiz-access.fr/ They have loads of nice stuff for Clios. With the favourable exchange rate it it makes them quite cheap. Ordered some braided brake lines a week ago and am waiting on delivery. Have spent a while on the site this evening looking at carbon bits and various other...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.... Got a rear beam I am stripping to have powdercoated and then powerflexed. Got it all stripped but having issues with the old beam bushes. Is it just a case of hammering it out? @Phase1sr @Dan@SJM

Will get some pics tomorrow for you when its light. Some tips when polishing and they might be really obvious but mask up all the trim - window trim, mirror plastic , aerial etc etc, put an old towel on the windcreen wiper scuttle panel to cover it. Open the doors and slide out and pop off the...

Just used that exact combo on my BG 182 . Worked really well - mine was a little swirled up from a year of not polishing. used a few different hexlogic pads with menzerna sample set then blackhole and then Petes Black Pearl. Came out pretty much perfect. Going to apply another layer of Petes...

Wow what a professional spray job - no expense spared there. Love the wheels though !

Wrong section, should be in suspension, brakes and wheels but yeah, much much better taking them off the car to do a proper job

Yeah, if they were black they would be very nice, the gills on the doorcards are good too but FFS orange ???

You know the 2 roof rails on a clio, I took them off for the first time the other day as I had a load of polish splatter down the gulleys on them, whent hey were off there was loads of s**t , powder and dust etc under it. does anyone know if its safe just to pressure wash it clean - it wont leak...

Even on a brand new tyres I was only getting 2 weeks at the most with Meguiars endurance. It smells so so nice though, probably the nicest product smell ever. I always use it as it looks great.

Awesome, where was the best place to get the bosch lamda sensor?

Yeah deffo give the kit a go, i did a lot of research and that kit kept coming up. I filed 45 degrees to a depth of 4-5 mm.

There is a guide in the guides section, from memory its that grey connector with the black and orange wires.

few things to do that will help eliminate it. file an edge to the pad. take off caliper and clean everything including the back of the pad. Install this kit I have 406 4 pot brembos with DS2500 pads which are a renound for squeeling but mine are silent after the above.

Royal retrims are great - the steering wheels themselves are perfect, their customer service is a little slow and can be rubbish. Had them do my wheel in Alcantara and took 2 weeks. They are based near me in Aylesbury and I actually went to his house to deliver and pick up my wheel. He does the...

I always see the FFS in the plate as For f***s Sake

Nope it VO54FFZ !

hang about how come there is no google entries for this plate any more??? lol, did the previous owner apply to have them removed?

Do a google for V054 FFS - pure comedy.

I have only used Hexlogic , Meguiars, menzerna and 3m pads so dont have experience of all the different types. Hexlogic pads alright but they are a bit thin, if they were thicker they would be perfect. Meguiars - Awesome - only used the soft buff polishing pad but it is big and thick and works...

Thanks mate, the tubing was really stretching so was worried it would split, will give it another go.:up:

How do you get the old nozzles off. had a quick go but couldnt figure it out.

You are right, oil change wont really help.. The brake light is easy to swap and costs around £25 for a new LED strip from Renault Wolverhampton, you could pop the clear red plastic strip off with a screw driver and see if there is anything obvious why it isnt working.

Whats the reading needed to pass? Yeah you should have got the cat red hot before the test.

or rotate your wheels so you have the newly painted ones on one side of the car, that way it wont be obvious if the colour is out.

Took me 2 hours today but they do look good now though. Like you , they arent perfect which is a little annoying as you dont see the imperfections till the final polishing stage and by then there is no f**king way im starting the wet sanding again. Went from 600 (only on a few chips) ->1200 ->...

Jacked the car up and tried with the wheel on first and then with the wheel off. I didnt have any movement at all, I grabbed the disc with both hands and moved it up and down while my neighbour watched the top mount. Tried to do a video but the camera didnt focus. Did get a few pics though. Im...

Going out now to check for you as I have the same setup.

Thanks mate @-Jamie- , just ordered some along with some Race Glaze Jet Laq which according to their site is good for sealing it afterwards.
