Ah fair enough. Thought you'd had an oopsie 🤣

What have you done to that GTi

I've got the black ones mate. Bigger wheels. We just have a painted concrete floor so no dramas about damage. I'd imagine the smaller ones are even more likely to drag. Should be okay though. They're not as bad as people mate out :)

im joking somewhat. My garage floor isnt billiard table smooth but it does require a shove if it gets stuck. The castors on mine arent too bad. They spin round and round just fine but sometimes to catch at 90 and drag a bit. I usually give them a kick tbh

Im quite sure I have the SGS ones at home. Used them on the Mexico Resto. Do a perfectly good job. But level ground is a must. If theres even a gnats pube inbetween the wheel and the floor, they get stuck

Many many approaches. Id be inclined to be going for the hairdryer/tar and glue remover one. The less contact the better. Most likely to need a damn good polish after too. Weirdly, one of the guys is doing just this as we speak on one of our vans thats going up for sale shortly.

Tidy! Good work mate

Recently bought a slightly more unheard of one. Its called Reload and Autosmart sell it. Its actually very good. Difficult to say about durability but even after 3 weeks without wash it did bounce back.

Considering I paid 18 quid for mine, and EZ are selling them for £10, im kinda mad as they look identical 🤣

Ah no dramas. Do you use the noodle or the chenille kind?

*mate.....f**king autocorrect

I've got so many mitts but I still reach for the pads. Incredimits I think it is? Worth a try if you haven't used one mare

I just googled it.......

Besides the grills, im there. Grills though. Lawd oh lawd.

Here you go mate - www.specsavers.co.uk 😘

The problem with M4's now is that the image they give off is quite.....err.......anyway.... They're also getting to a point where some can jump into them on a decent monthly and fail to maintain them very well. Looks wise, id have one of them (although prefer the M2&M3) over ANYTHING new bmw...

The F8X are looking like amazing value. I honestly just love how nimble and small the M2 felt. Thats what does it for me. Its a harp back to my Clio in that sense.

Do you think so? My only experience driving one has been around goodwood on a BMW experience day. The difference between a 140 and an m2 was definitely apparant. The difference between a M2 and M4 didnt really feel like that much. Other than the obvious bump in power and larger car, it didnt...

Dont speak too soon 🤣

Careful filling in detailing for the comparison sites that arent big names. I did it recently for a Trader quote and got endless calls for about a week. Was painful.

I always thought detailingworld was a proper pure forum. So much mud throwing recently its insane. Its not even banter like it is on here, people properly get handbags out over 'which wax gives the most gloss'... 🤣

Id absolutely love to tackle that paint. Would be so satisfying

It depends what you're shooting for. Ultimate compound is a pure cutting compound with no fillers. SRP does have a very minor amount of cut, more polish, but has lots of fillers so it will 'fill in' some more minor swirls. If you're shooting for a true cut and then wax, srp isn't necessary...

I think I've got 4 bottles of super resin at home 🤣

I second this. Jon from Forensic properly got me into detailing. I met him recently and he's actually a proper nice chap.

No dramas. @imprezaworks and I are kind of detailing addicts 🤣. As for a wax. Yeah, the meguiars stuff is half decent. I find some of their products good and others not so much. However, for a beginner, you can't really go wrong with their stuff. Just look for the Carnuba ones over the...

Good luck with the machine polishing. Amazing results can be had with the right technique and knowledge. In regards to the final stages- Synthetic Waxes (Sio2 mostly) will generally last longer. They're normally the ones that give insane beading and *should* last up to 12 months if properly...

Alternatively, like a true champion, you could buy some Ryobi stuff?

Thats exactly it. You get used to the smell which is a bummer. I've got 2 so I'll alternate between them for when i fart in the car

Cheers @riz . Ill see how I get on with the Autobrite ones and then hit up the crack dealer next time I see him (aka the autosmart man)
