That's the jobby. The aircon system gets moisture, which then harbours bacteria. That's what causes the odour. A bit like smelly shoes/feet.

Rotary? Or Da? Rotary was always 1500 as the top figure. Usually 600-800 below that. Che k out the zenith technique. Always worked well for me with both finishing and more heavy cutting work. Da is usually the same but with spread on 2, work in on 4 and cut on 6 ( then back down).

Buy a cheap "bomb". Pressurised container that you set off while the aircon is running. Halfords were selling them a few years back for just £1.

You won't need a heavy compound. 3M yellow tops with yellow pad will suffice on Renault paint.

Great cars. Great spec. But those wheels are really out of my taste zone. And I'm sure you've explained it already but; this over an RS4? Really?!

Hehasdone. War and peace springs to mind.

DA if you have it. Lighter (especially in comparison to the Silverline) so easier to get round the car quickly.

Will do Kev, doubt you'll want any of them mate. Aucky, any shade? Gazebo?

Fark, that is somewhere in my detailing cupboard :S what amuses me about my "hobby" (read: obsession) is I had a clear out the other day and found about 30 BNIP items :S

Agreed but I don't usually want anything from a QD apart from something that lubricates dust/oils/fingerprints off the surface. A poor product at best. Stick with the Sonus. I've found they can be depleted by a strong APC ratio in snow foam. Worth a try, say G101 4:1 or 2:1. I've heard...

No.

I'll nudge you on the text soon my friend. Perhaps a pint one evening.

Still in Clapham mate, if you've got an outside hose I'll come to you. Need to DA mine at some point!

I'd quite like to see this, as I'm sold on the looks, just not on the engine (M please). Considering the quite frankly astounding difference in terms of numbers of "soft top days" to the North, a soft top would actually make sense for me at the moment.

Rinse is preferred Stevey, if not try something like one of these; http://www.chemicalguys.com/DUST_MONSTER_XL_Merino_Wool_Auto_Duster_CAR_DUSTE_p/acc_m04.htm

Meh.

As previously stated by most in this thread, the only Dodo Juice wax worth its salt is SN.

That's a wax. As stated above, OP, polishes are not colour specific. Look into Menzerna and 3M polishes.

I have now. Lol.

Don't. Posted a tennis shirt to Canada today. £13.45!! Ffs!! Was £10.70 at the end of April! Same weight, same address ish.

There have been about four mondial "what wax?" threads recently fella. Have a search. What's your budget?

And marred to hell I'll bet!

Useful stuff at this price, either as a QD or clay lube. Also useful if well protected as a "pour and drive" solution for us Londoners.

I would, but I don't have it and am not up North before then. How much do you know about the car? Have you any reason to be worried? I am all for them, but they can be over kill if you are looking to do a very small amount of correction work - touches wood etc.

Unfortunately that is the way of the world at the moment. A large number of my friends are in a similar design/acting/photography position, paid next to nothing or working for free to boost their repertoire. Keep at it. You'll get there.

Yes. But it's in the NW :( When do you need it?

I buy new wipers every year. Even the Bosch flats don't last much longer. And I like to see where I'm going.

Carlack works well and I think is/was Russ' sealant of choice. Still used by a number of well known detailers. But for £12 and thus far 15 months of beading and very mild wiper use (as I just don't need them!), my G1 has been superb.

Shame, would have also taken these off you, Dave. Still interested in the HD chap.

Try the GTechniq instead Richy mate, far superior in my experience and lasts 6-24 months.
