Sure it's been covered, but; - will you use a bigger screen? - will you notice the difference in speed? - will you actually use 4G or are you in an area that currently has it (i.e. London)? If the above answers are all yes, upgrade. When the 5 came out and 4G wasn't available, none of the...

I'll take your old V8 off you in return ;) What are you getting pal? Very much so lad! You'd laugh! Yes. I definitely haven't had any new to detailing forum users PM me asking how and when to apply ;) Lol.

Hi, I'd like to be a tester please, just let me know wha... oh, wait ;) 245

Similar Andy; Tripple with Carbon'd roof, C2V3 rest of car with Sonax top ups on certain areas to test beading and looks... real mix, so might strip down fully at Scrooges at some point, but will defo be testing over a few glazes and in comparison to other LSPs.

List of lucky testers on the previous page, Malice.

That'll be part of the testing and reporting, chap. How does this wax stand up to daily drivers, look on garage queens, protect cars that sit in industrial units and are subjected to large amounts of fallout etc. Re topping up, up to you, but I tend to top up a decent wax (Carbon for example)...

I think that's down to you, fella. Cribert, if James and the team have supplied rejuvenate, I'm willing to bet that's the base they want, but would be happy to a comparison to other product bases.

We're all weirdos here pal. Everyone in the group welcome Cribert; *altogether* welcome Cribert...

Sounds like it pal :thumbs:

Yes. But that's the point. They'll have optical enhances in them, with AF tripple being one of the best I've tried, for gloss and ease of use. There is only so much shine you can achieve with a perfected paint. Lacking swirls and contaminants is fine. More shine = more optical enhancers. Give...

G5 for lower speed driving. But "only" lasts 6-12 months rather than the 18-24 of G1.

PLENTY of waxes, but it's all about the prep. Decent base prep product such as Tripple (PLUG since it's an AF thread!!) followed by Carbon, Glasur, Vocs Red, Orange Crush, any of the AF waxes or, as in my current case, C2V3;

Fudge me, Jason - goes like stink! Sounds utterly awesome as well fella!

Lol Andy, you're such a bitter billy with a buffer ;) PM'd.

Is that a problem though, Ant? Granted I wouldn't want one over my waxes, but over C2V3 or a nano sealant, I'm not sure I'd be that fussed...

My spot repair on the rear bumper was £125. If you can get a respray for £400, send me a PM/the company name. Perfectly happy to give it a try. Only the company can loose out...

I've only seen the Italian Gallardo before - those are great, Chip!

Wozza, ignore my PM - it doesn't work with phones :( Rob

Similar subject, I had to chuckle at Cheshire police's new fleet of panda cars. Having had 5 series tourings, X5s and a few new RangeRovers over the last few years, their new job lot of i30s tickled me!

Not at all - like I say, it's not a well known enough fact/process. Need any advice, shout or PM fella.

C2V3 will last longer and I found it was "easier" to apply... but not exactly difficult either of them, eh! Interesting what you've said about looks. I still think C2V3 looks cracking, but red is probably an easier colour to get the best out of with something like this? Likewise, after seeing...

Rob Scrooge - I mentioned in my PM to AF that the three of us could use it at the Unit on the Toledo, Panzer and Zed. Different colours, you do more driving, different conditions etc. Would make for an interesting initial looks and longevity test.

Claying is the last stage of decontamination, but this is not as well/widely known as it should be. Clay will remove tar and iron, but will drag large particles across your paint, hence the need to follow up with polishing. The inclusion of tar and iron removers minimises this risk of marring...

Yes. It will. But detailing is the art of removing as little clear coat as poss to achieve the desired effect. So by missing out tar and iron decontam stages, you're inflicting marring that could be otherwise avoided.

Cracking Andy!!!

Clay bars dragging tar across the surface causes marring. So detar first is a must.

Whoop, PMd. Haha Greg.

I think the London ones are great. I don't think the cars are quite as up to scratch, but that's a personal thing :)

Just watched this. Nice vid, but was amused more by the sound of popping champagne corks in the last 3 mins!

Interesting. Never had this. Would suggest buying some Dr Beckmann washing machine cleaning fluid - two types, one that cleans deposits of limescale and scum, another than kills bacteria. That should get rid of the smell.
