    Think I've made 3 orders, and got my sticker on the last one. Is quite nice, was gonna whack it on the car somewhere, but it was ruined :(

    detailing tips please

    It seems to be a product that you'd only use on specific areas of the car, i.e areas that require attention in terms of swirling and scratches. I use polish in the same way tbh, I don't necessarily use it on every panel, unless it would merit it. I prefer to use glazes all over really, such as...

    i4detailing.

    Bumpage. But yeah, i4detailing.co.uk are awesome...My only complaint was that my sticker was stained where the snow foam had burst open a little in transit (f**king couriers!) so I had to throw it away :( I've ordered before that time but never gotten a sticker, so the loss hurt a lot :(

    best stuff to get?

    Yeah, I use Bilberry's too. Awesome stuff. I don't dilute it by much either, and doesn't seem to do much damage. I've just spent a good bit of money getting some stuff to clean my motor, as above I used i4detailing.co.uk and cleanyourcar.co.uk - I'd recommend them both, they're top notch...

    Exterior Plastic Clean

    Poorboy's Natural Look is pretty good too. 2 coats and they come up a treat.

    Cleaning Residue

    I had the same issue - turned out that by diluting the snow foam with warm water solved it.

    well and truly p'd off

    It's the joys of parking nowadays - I parked in an empty car park (nearly empty - of the 1000-odd spaces, I'd say 50-75 were filled) next to my mates car when we went for some food. The car park is fairly large, and we parked in a quiet section, a good distance from the restaurant. By the time...

    well and truly p'd off

    Yeah, as rankins said, it's all about the Data Protection Act. CCTV images can't be released unless requested by the Police.

    well and truly p'd off

    Asda won't release any of the details they might have on CCTV, it's illegal IIRC.

    Audi A3 Detail

    Looks good, my sister has just bought an A3 like that, lovely car.

    Is this any good? [pressure washer content]

    I'd recommend never using Tesco for online shopping if you're buying fresh goods.

    Is this any good? [pressure washer content]

    We don't have any Russians (yet). Although given all the Poles that I work with reaction to their President in that air crash, you'd think that they see themselves as becoming Russian at some point soon. Staff-wise, it's Poles and Somalians/Ghanians, customer-wise it's Poles (some of them even...

    182 Cruise Control

    You are pressing the button to the side of the steering wheel? Once you do that, a small green symbol should appear, as gwilkes says. Then just press the "+" button on the steering wheel when you're at the desired speed.

    He's apparently gone, but I have to say Roy's correct about Tesco - I work there, and the sheer amount of scum in there, spending their fraudulent disability benefits, is frightening :(

    Been Away..High Mileage 172's?

    I'd much rather pay the servicing/maintenance costs on a cheap Renault, than for a similarly-aged marque like Audi. They may be slightly more reliable, but you pay for it when you buy the car, and whenever you enter a Stealership to have it serviced.

    Best antivirus?

    Re: Anti Virus & Internet Security. I'd highly recommend Avast, tbh...it's free as well, though I have the full, registered version.

    [PC/PS3/XB360] COD:MW2 Official thread - Contains spoilers

    Having bought this game for my xBox last week, I cannot describe how annoying it is to try and level up, now that everyone else is at Prestige level...I switched from PS3 to xBox as my mates all play it on the 360, and I reckon I get about 15 seconds of play time before some arse with fully...

    Can you turn off the bit that remembers what sites you've been on?

    Ctrl+Shift+N for Google Chrome IIRC, I can't remember the path in FF.

    Snow Foam = Poor Show!

    Quality, will make sure I put a lot less in come the car's next Foaming! Thanks a lot guys :)

    Snow Foam = Poor Show!

    I think that's where I've gone wrong then. I'm assuming the overall solution was too strong, hence the terrible streaking across my car after I rinsed the foam?

    Snow Foam = Poor Show!

    Now, I KNOW I've fcuked something up while using my new Snow Foam. When I gave my car a blast with it the other day, and rinsed it off after 7/8 minutes, the car was covered in remnants of the snow foam - like, proper stained. I had to wash the car twice after that just to 99% clear it. Thus...

    Best Clio in 20 years?

    I agree - rubbish presenter, but I did like the 200's nose. Didn't like the colour of the car, if I'm honest, but the nose did look nice. Williams and the V6 were win though.

    PB182 Detailing Tips

    I've recently spent a bit of money on my new 182, in terms of gathering various stuff in order to properly "detail" it. Items I've bought (not limited to!): Meguairs Body Shampoo i4detailing Snow Foam lance and Snow Foam Clay Magic clay bar & lubricant AG SRP/EGP Smartwax Rimwax /...
