You're alive! You might be in the Old West, but you're alive!

Come back to me when you've done a whole exhaust. I guarantee you will get through a few tins to get close to the above products. Sadly.

£200? And excluding pads/machine? OK; Lambswool mitt Two buckets DODO BtbM Brush set Drying towels x2 Wheel brush Wheel cleaner (if they are really that bad) APC Degreaser Tardis IronX Clay Lube Polish for machine Finishing polish by machine IPA Wax (based on your comments for a wax that...

Depends where you're based - The Artic doesn't bode well for detailing a Frenchy and a German tart ;)

You know you can polish me off anytime son.

I would want a wax to last a little longer than that, but if not, I would suggest Natty's Blue, especially on an RB. I disagree, Becca aka Needster's had a real glint to it when it left. Decent minor correction, put down some good work and then topped with a basic wax (in this case DODO Blue...

I would agree as well. 70, 6th, just below 3k revs. Economical when on cruise control, but another gear would be brilliant.

Yes, but with a lot of work. Wash with a degreaser, detar with Tardis, polish with one of the following; Belgom Alu Britemax Metal Twins Autosol I have had to use very fine graded wire wool in the past to really get rid of blemishes.

That's like saying eating three tons of Wasabi is better than snorting it. It will still make a mess.

The difference is night and day in terms of speed buddy. The Autoglym ITR works just fine and does what it's supposed to - but it takes its time.

Not that you'd know you bumder. x

ORLY.

Re: What have you ordered? If you are a tried and tested user of clay. If you're a newbie and don't use enough lube, this happens;

Re: What have you ordered? Nothing for two months as I've been a good boy. If you ask what have you won recently... well, that's a different story...

Jay, the products you asked for; Wheels - Bilberry if they need a decent clean, then clay, polish, protect with Poorboys Wheel Sealant. Tar - AutoSmart Tardis Shampoo - DODO Born to be Mild Wax - what's your budget? See below. I agree. What happens if a piece of dirt falls onto your...

Is there an echo in here? Good lad. See below. I concur.

I would be interested to see if anyone has done a marring test on these, as I have always stayed away from MF/Noodle mitts. Stick with the Lambswool ones if I were you...

For general use, Eurow MFs; hmmm, can't find them on eBay at the moment, try Amazon. For removing waxes and polishes, Poorboys/Eurow Super Plush Towels; http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/microfibre-cloths/eurow-shag-pile-double-density-towels/prod_436.html For drying...

Surely Chem Guys, Menz, AutoSmart, Valet Pro etc are all brands? I must have missed your point fella, but IMO you buy the product for the benefits, not the label (which I think is saying what you've said ;)).

UDS is not specifically designed for darker cars.

Don't use a chamois. Don't buy a £40 orbital polisher. SRP won't remove swirls. AG Tyre Dressing will last for one day. Or less if it rains. Don't use a sponge. Don't use Back to Black. Don't use Tesco's Wheel Cleaner - battery acid is less acidic. Don't use the Flash/Halfrauds wheel brush...

Maybe not to you, but to your insurance it's an issue Simon.

Can't afford the running costs, servicing costs, tax, insurance etc ;)

JD is both tired, still hungover (read ill) and very busy this week. I'll put together a list when I get time lad, but in the meantime Gally and Lew can help you out.

Depends on the remap but general concensus is you get better MPG from a remapped 1.8t, but only if you drive conservatively.

Yeah thanks for that Jim, not like I'm stuck on a train back to Cheshire or anything! At least your threads can keep me company until then :)

Todd? Is that you?
