Lovely! Any correction 50:50 shots for the geeks out there (me)?

Most do regularly, which/what are you after in particular?

Nilfisk have metal impellers, Karcher have plastic impellers. Plastic breaks more easily than metal. Karchers are more likely to break than Nilfisks.

Win. Lunch sorted.

Yes, it is a much, much better machine.

Yes massive dead thread bump yada yada, blah blah, but the song just came on the radio so typed it in and this popped up. Ahhhhh nostalgia. Have you still got the video somewhere, Jords?

f**k that for a bunch of bananas! Keep searching mate. Pan->fire springs to mind.

Hi.

s**t website with spelling errors on the first page I went through to (services).

I can't comment on a career in it Adam mate. Of course there are good and bad smart repairers, but they only have a certain amount of space/time/money/resources to achieve the finish, so it will always be hindered by this. I spent £100 on a mobile smart repair on my bumper. It's awful, but...

You're talking as if we know what you do now ;) Are we talking about quality of smart repairs, or your future career?

Look at RussZS' thread on his Golf. And much more than a few hundred quid.

To the Gen Pop, no. To car geeks yes. To car geeks who spot and worry about swirls in their worktop surfaces, use GTechniq products on their mirrors and bathroom to see beading in the morning while they shower and wax their kitchen surfaces to make them easier to clean, HELL YEAH.

John, just realised I've not replied to your PM from yonks ago! Apologies! C1 is the old favourite, but isn't sold any more. It's now taken the form of C1+ and C1.5 Silo Seal, which just don't offer the same longevity. However, C5 and C4 are supposed to be the same product (pretty sure it's...

And what look like brush marks!!! Hammerite smooth would look better!! You took it to Renault, it's Renault's problem. I took my car to Audi for an MOT test, they took it to some tiny garage, the tester missed a broken spring (didn't therefore qualify for some MOT insurance I had taken out with...

Ah now you see, that's slightly more of an issue. Stone chips and "not our fault" might come up as stone chips don't fall under warranty work - although they appear to have already agreed to do it... Dad had a similar scenario with his. Because the arches are very wide and so are the rear...

Their job to fix it. That's the last word. I presume it's warranty work on the 200, so can't be more than a few years old? Is it rust related or paint bubbling? I had the same on my car (albeit a 10 year old Audi) - paint warranty is 12 years, it went back three times for a 30cm by 5cm area...

So Harris has bought a 599...! Video out this week apparently.

Or not. Carbon will be fine but I'd look to use a different glaze like Poorboys White Diamond.

There we go! Ok, If there are no swirls, a decent glaze (red moose) followed by a wax. I presume your car is still the same colour as your avatar, so follow up Red Moose Glaze with the carbon wax. Apply RMG with your machine with a soft buffing pad and the wax by hand/applicator pad.

Could you run that by me again? Are you saying there is no hazing, or hasn't been polished? What are you trying to achieve? And who or what are "Manzano products"?!

I would personally go for Tripple, but have not yet used the new SRP. Followed up by Tough Coat.

I've also grown to like them. I wasn't 100% at first. But they do need a refurb. 9 years pre my ownership of Audi only car washing has destroyed them! IronX just laughs!

I'm sure it'll be perfectly acceptable. We all take the piss out of the cheaper stores like ALDI and Lidl, but I've had some bits from there over the years and they've lasted as long as they're needed (deck chairs, tennis balls etc).

Was the value not agreed? I've had to give a value for the last 3 years, so Shirley if it's written off they offer that value?

Red moose is superb. Although Prima Amigo might be better. To strip previous LSPs, usually strong solution of APC as you've said or washing up liquid. Not keen on the latter as it contains salts so could potentially scratch.

Is he stuck?

Yes, it's the one I reach for when I need to clean dad's car. Well worth the money.
