    Gliptone leather care

    Love it on older real leathers, not a fan of it on the cheap fake stuff in most cheap modern day cars - Zaino Z10 seems to leave a better finish on them.

    182 buying advice please

    Cup suspension will be given away initially by the Anthracite Alloys, BUT - they could have been added after - measuring the spacing of the front strut bolts is the only way to tell for sure. Should be 60mm. Cup spoiler pack will mean it should have a lower plastic chin spoiler and a larger...

    Swirl marks are driving me crazy

    Where they removed 100% in the first place, or did the products used hide them ? Getting and keeping a totally swirl free finish is nigh on impossible. Most though are created at the washing and drying stage, mainly the latter. Even using Microfiber drying towels was marring mine. Aquagleam...

    Detailing my car tomorrow

    Gold Glass ? They will not layer up like a pure Carnuba as it contains some cleaners - will only really ensure you get 100% coverage.

    Detailing my car tomorrow

    One clay bar should be plenty. Split it into two or three. If it gets well grimey and no longer folds to give a clean side, get new bit, same if you drop it. Spritz the panel well, lightly glide the clay over, wipe of the QD with a cloth and carry on.

    Detailing my car tomorrow

    I would do both, clay will remove the bonded on contamination washing alone wont. The Paint cleaner will make short work of an oxidisation etc. Either clay using a Quick Detail spray as lube, or mix up some car shampoo and water. Make sure the clay is warm and keep kneading it to get a clean face.

    The Megs Paint Cleaner is chemical based, so won't do much for your swirls. What machine polisher and pads you using ?

    Tracking info works on both the Apple Page and on the TNT Site. My old chap has mine as it - was delivered to his work, we have loads of building work being done here so had it sent elsewhere.

    The best way to clean my car is.....?

    Yeah EGP is one to avoid on a damp day, get the layers on now before the weather turns cold and damp IMO. Washing and maintaining with spray on wipe off products will then not be a problem over the winter months.

    quite cool

    3 door looks much better than the 5 door.

    The best way to clean my car is.....?

    I would get 2 or 3 layers of EGP on, then either top with wax. After washing just maintain gloss with a good Quick Detail Spray and maybe a Spray Wax such as Optimum Car Wax or Duragloss Aquawax. I would only re apply the Super Resin once a 2-3 months as it means starting the process of...

    Advice - Sort these brakes out

    Never had an issues when using copper grease and a torque wrench so will bear this in mind next time I have the wheels off. Edit as above - re. the tyres I always tell the tyre place to use a torque wrench on them.

    Washing mitts

    Look into the Schmitt or Lambswool or Microfiber covered sponges as safer options to a normal sponge
