You must have a nice job/student loan to make that one work Jimbo! Also, full correction + wheels and arches in one day?

What's this PrimeDetail b****cks then smarty pants? Nice wee website there :)

Phew!

Good god. Lol. OK, I'll edit this as I go. Blade - get rid. End of. Use a decent MF cloth. Have a search on I4Detailing for a decent purchase. Wheels - stay clear of Cleans Wheels - it's acidic and will affect your lacquer on the wheels (i.e. dull it). That's why you have heard people use...

Ha, smart arse ;) Yeah as Markie has said, do it properly once a year, then either fill or minor correct when you feel it needs it. Or major correct it 75 times a year if you have VAG/BMW paint ;)

As above re the colour. I don't understand why people put so much work in and then basically ruin it (in my eyes) with such a sheet colour! That aside, love it!

Where did I say use a filler? ;) x

How long is a piece of string? No, but on a serious note, purely depends on your paint depth - hence the use of PDGauges. I use to cut my paint back at the start of Summer, ready for show season with something like Menz IP, then keep on top of them with Lime Prime during the year.

I personally don't like anything that allows for a "quick wash" - this term to me instantly means marring. I would therefore rather not wash for a few weeks. To be fair, my car is not moving now anyway as I can walk to work in minutes and my other half has moved to London, so I train it down at...

I guess there is no point in talking about a proper prep of the wheels, so would say either AG Engine and Machine Cleaner or the Bilberry, dependant on budget. Trim, AG Vinyl and Rubber, tyres, Megs Endurance/Hot Shine/Blackfire Wheel Shine.

Nay can do on this date Naith, but another time. And stop calling me Shirley. Roger Roger.

Comedy!

Wot think?

Bah, OK, was hoping for something other than that ;) Thanks Chris, will get back to you.

Or this.

Right, so the bore is wrong. Take it to a shop and get them machined, or sell them and buy the correct size. I'm tempted to ask why you bought them if they're wrong, but I will resist.

Yawn. When I needed to remove the locking nuts off our SJ we banged a screwdriver into it and used a hammer to turn it round, thus undoing the nut.

OK chap, in that case exactly what I said. You need to work the polish for longer. The best checker is to see the polish go very silky and easy to wipe off. If you're overloading your pad or not working the panel for a long enough period of time then you will just be left with marring from...

Josh, do you want to just note down for us what's wrong in a methodical post?? Like so; Offset: right/wrong Bore; right/wrong PCD; right/wrong

LOVELY Mikey, as mentioned in the thread.

MD was looking at this. Told to get either an iPad or iPhone 4 instead as he reeaaalllly doesn't need it.

Guys, what's this going to be like as a weekend car? Surely not three bad with the work done? Strip it, cage it . . . :S Uh oh.

Hi. I keep getting "cannot get mail" followed by "Could not activate cellular data network". So I check the passwords, settings etc, all the same as the 3GS had, click reset and turn the phone on and off and it's fine . . . Any ideas, apart from a restore etc?

Gorgeous E-Type Dave.

That desperation smell doubled around 10:07.

I like the fact that this keeps the Ford Warranty. Worth the 2k IMO. Well done :) p.s read your username as Amy for some reason . . .

I'm going to start charging for every use of "Wot think". The R8. Worst "my dad has a nice car" thread ever . . .

It's Friday morning, before my coffee. Am I being stupid or is he?

Average Michael.

Lol ;)
