I applied it exactly per the instructions . Water doesn't sit on the windscreen as it would if it was untreated . But it also doesn't bead as good as Halfords own from low speeds to motorway speeds .Honestly . Have you actually tried Halfords own rain repellent gally ? Having actually used both...

Shopping and dining with me is an absolute blast ;) I'm always open to new ideas , but in the case of the G1 , i think i'll just stick with something that i've tried and tested and does exactly what i want at a relatively low cost and ease of use :D

I'm not missing the point at all . I thought it was self explanatory what i wrote . The G1 wasn't effective until 50mph and above , which ok , i already knew . Maybe i expected too much of the product that it " might " start to bead at lower speeds , like the Halfords own , which starts to bead...

I know it's stated that it only works at speeds of above 50mph , like i said . Mine started beading ever so slightly at around 45mph . But i did expect maybe there would be minimal beading maybe around 30 - 35ish . Personally pound for pound i think the Halfords own rain repellent is better...

Thought i'd give the Gtechniq G1 a try and tbh i'm not that impressed . The windscreen was properly prepared with the G4 polish and layered 3 times with the G1 leaving to haze between coats for 15 mins as per instructions then removed with the G2 . I know it's designed to work at higher speeds...

yeah they are

Mine hasn't done it for a few days now , was damp when it did and had been left outside overnight . I was thinking of swapping the lambda sensors over to see if that made any difference or like i said , maybe a leak where the exhaust manifold joins the Cat as it sounded like it was blowing , but...

I've had this happen a couple of times in the past few weeks , but only when the cars been left , say overnight and the engines gone completely cold . OBD11 scanner throwing up the code P0300 random multiple misfire . Which i can know can cover a mutlitude of things . It did it this time last...

Sorry , meant wilyoldave mentioned . Beer and eyes not working in tandem lol

Have a look at the Panasonic TZ20 , slightly older than the TZ30 that pearce mentioned , but not that much difference in spec . 14.1 MP , 16X Optical zoom . Takes really good pics , excellent 1080 HD video . I've used mine loads of times at gigs and the footage and sound is exceptional , even...

+1 . Thats what i always do for the first few days , gentle breaking with my left foot while still on the gas pedal . It always seems to bed them in nicely :D Plus i always run a bit of new fluid through whilst the wheels are off , just to get out any air that might have built up in the system .

Never seen one of those before . It's on my " to buy " list . Purely because it's made by Autoglym :D

Welcome to Cliosport Dave . Enjoy your time here :D

There are " 2 " aboves , lol . At the end of the day it's down to personal preference . Like i said , i'm more than happy with my set up so it's what i would recommend if somebody asks . Someone running HC's with DS2500'S might be happy with theirs and recommend that setup . Each to their own ...

Now i'm confused . Pad versus Disc . Who really wins lol ?:approve:

+1 . I thought they were a sh!te tyre in the wet . Personally i'd go for Uniroyal Rainsports 2's . They stick to the road in wet and dry weather . Bearing we live in a wet climate and if this year is anything to go by , it's getting wetter .The Rainsports for 15's are only cheap , for example...

I've not experienced any noise or horrible rumbles with mine using the 1144's , they did squeal quite a bit when new , but i knew the 1144's were prone to doing that , that's something i could live with . Maybe the noise and horrible rumble was down to the DS2500's ?

Had mine on for 18 months now with Mintex 1144's , had absolutely no problem with the discs eating the pads , there was still plenty of meat left on the pads when i bled the brakes a few weeks ago . As for added benefit , i can honestly say there probably isn't over the HC's but i thought i'd...

I'd be interested to know this too Tony . You obviously know something that Brembo don't ? :approve:

+1 . Well said that man :clap: Don't let this negativity about your exhaust put you off the forum , you'll get used to it . As long as you're happy with the results then that's all that matters :D

Brembo Max discs with Mintex 1144's . Work fine for me . I paid £78 for the discs on Ebay , one of those " best offers " . As for the grooves being a bad thing . That'll come under the infamous Cliosport " Myth and Legend " section . A friend told a friend who told a friend who told somebody...

Personally . First of all i rinse off any loose dirt with my antiquated Karcher ( it's over 10 years old and never let me down once ) Then i run a 6 foot length of hose into a 25 litre homebrew fermenting bin thats been filled up with warm water and either shampoo or snow foam . Using my vario...

I think you're slightly meandering away from the OP's comments about the leather cleaner and conditioner on Clio " leather " seats , on how good or not necessarily that good as the case may be with regards to the leather cleaner from what he wrote , they actually are , not a saddle and sofa ...

I'm sure it would work a treat on a grimey old saddle , which is proper tanned untreated leather , not like the embossed leather in a Clio .

According to James , he followed the instructions and the cleaner basically did bugger all , it was the conditioner that removed the majority of the dirt . I've never seen a leather cleaner that you use with water ? If it was an APC , yeah , it would be watered down .

It wasn't a criticism of you James . Just giving you a little bit of advice for the future about these so called leather " cleaners " and conditioners . It just goes to show that the leather cleaner didn't actually clean it very well . It was the conditioner that removed the majority of the dirt...

You're wasting your time tbh mate with leather cleaners and conditioners on Clio leather . They're not exactly connolly leather . They're embossed , in other words the colour is painted on top of the leather and a pattern added to make it look like leather . Warm water on a soft cloth will do...

I've used autosol and autoglyms metal polish in the past , both do the job as well as each other . For the tailpipes , especially if they've gone black use 00 guage wire wool or a buffing wheel fitted in a drill . I've used both , both work well ...

Virginmedia have also blocked it . I heard you can change your IP address with something called " Hotspot shield " , free download ;) then access piratebay as normal , go to download whatever it is you want , then close down Hotspot shield and Bobs your Uncle , your downloading .That's what i...

Trust Cliosport members to completely deviate from the OP's question and start an argument about this , that and the other lol . To the OP , personally i'm running a Yozzasport exhaust which is supposedly one of the better exhausts in terms of gains if you believe the hype , whether it does or...
