I did mate. Something about being a "loyal customer", but pretty sure it's just if you are already a customer.

Dr Death? Think this guy built the V8 monster that was destroying everything at Silverstone a few years back.

Ste, I worked out that I would be paying £250 more for a 3g on contract with Vodafone than if I bought it in the shops. Taking into account you get 2GB per month for 24 months, I also worked out that was double what I use on the iPhone per month, so was not necessary. I therefore ended up buying...

It is but it's not a cleaner.

Will it? Sell the old phone = at least £225 on Vodafone's website, more on eBay (quoting Vodafone's trade in as I don't know how much it's worth on eBay)... Surely that covers it? The rest of the reasons are on my mind.

GTechniq C2 (a sealant) showed a massive reduction in road dust and grime clinging to my car.

Looks good AR.

Why? If you're poor buy a 4 now. If you have enough money buy the 4s and enjoy the benefits. I'm waiting on the iPhone 17 to be built into my brain... I'll still buy 4s, 5,6,7...etc.

Cheers Tom.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is GM and why would you? I presume it is something illegal due to the ominous sense of Tom's ban hammer...!

My contract is up/was up in July. I need a phone and the OH can have my 4. If my contract wasn't up, I highly doubt I would be upgrading early. Quite disappointed, but I get excited when I get something new like a gadget, so I'll live.

Almost text you this morning! Swap for a detail y0 ;)

Sounds good.

Ah frozen foam. How I miss that... Anyway, new unit you say? Where abouts mate?

I can't work out the colour. Think it's one of those that I need to clean to appreciate! Again, not sure on the car either, but photos can be very deceptive. Glad you've finally got something you were after though Nick.

Agreed but the warm water bath trick always sorts it for me. Plus I don't tend to advise new detailers to detail in winter. That's saved for the likes of you and I russ!!

Hmm. Where did I get £500 from... Must be another thread!!

I would disagree with putting off buying a lance. Mine comes in ultra handy for the 3 monthly wax strip. Filled with G101, covers the car, fresh start. £500 to spend will sort a proper detailing kit. Nick, I can really add to the products above. That age of BMW is still likely to have hard...

No, two SMICs as standard and judging by the pictures. Edit - just noted the lack of fog lights. Nice catch clio007.

Face lift interior as well as lights, so the only "parts bin" part will be the Amk 210 unit. Nothing wrong. All internals are the same apart from the likelihood of you needing to do the n249 by pass unless it's been done. Remap to the same levels, k04 turbo etc. Best colour, behind absolute...

Define work. Snow foam does very little, let's be honest. It's not TFR or a degreaser. Search DW for dilution rates and costs by John at PB. Cheapest by far and works as well as any other.

Nice to see you getting your teeth into something again Jords. Wondered where you'd go after the mk1.

Time scales I would guess. If it never comes off, you won't see what lies beneath.

A Hoover?

I'll rephrase his question. Could I please ask why you say this because you're wrong????

Exactly what everyone says to start with. A year down the line when the next summer sun shows your swirls, they post up a thread entitled "newbie to detailing - how do I mask/get rid of swirls?".

No need for the wire wool Dave. As above, hair drier, blade to lift the corner, Tardis on a cloth to remove the residue. Be aware that Tardis will harm leather, so be careful. Once done, air the car and clean the windows with a window cleaning chemical.

55£ could buy you the proper kit. Granted the nice cut out bag is a bonus, but not for sub standard chems.

Chamois and sponge? What is this, the 40's?
