^^chips in the lacquer from stones. A decent wax, or as Dave has suggested, C4/5/the old 1. They are plastic so these products will protect them for about two years. My head and tail lights still bead 18months after application.

Gally has got in before me. I don't track cars, so in my eyes, he is wrong. Also, the new 1 series facelift is bloody ugly! Personally; http://www.germancarblog.com/uploaded_images/BMWM3-738227.jpg

Nilfisk have metal impellers in the pump. Karcher have plastic impellers. That was the reason for my three Karchers breaking over the years and for my moving on to a Nilfisk. No issues since.

Dear Gopher, Buy a DSLR. Many thanks, JD

Naith tried that the other day (replace M5 with M60). Think he got on the local traffic news.

PM AK, he has all the answers. Much like a box of smarties in that respect.

I'm sure there are people out there still wondering what TBH means, but people will continue to use it... Which abbreviations are you stuck on? If you are confused, ask - we're a friendly bunch (most of the time).

FK saw me safely through from September to March the next year (2011). Easy to apply, cheap and comes in a massive tin.

Yes, FK1000p or 845 Insulator wax. Better looks than 476. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/collinite-no-845-insulator-wax/prod_208.html

I hate centred exhausts with a passion. 182, Boxsters, Caymans, R32 Mk5s etc. Other than that, it looks OK. Maybe a bit busy at the back?

But what a way to end it;

Hence the Mondeo keys, stalks and bottons/dash lights in the DB7.

My ears are still in love with the one that fired up last weekend. 7am after a 21st for his daughter, my best mate, his father and I were cleaning up our/their mess in the marquee. I took the R8 V10 Spyder keys, his dad took the AM DB7 Vantage Volante keys (sports exhaust fitted) and he took...

Dad almost bought one before the R8. His words were he'd always regret it, as the original was not as powerful/good as it was intended to be. Two of my friends' fathers have them (dark silver and white with a black soft top roof) which are stunning, but they seem to have the same opinion in...

Re: Light Correction Detail - RenaultSport Clio 200 Silverstone Number 50/50 - Hard B Forgive me here, as I don't "do" payment plans on cars - will the dealer not rape you for the condition of the car? Surely handing back something that's had a hard life/is scratched, stone chipped and dented...

I spy a very nice Alfa!!!

As good as your last one. And that wasn't bad ;)

Don't point it out! If they spot it and say something, be ready with an answer. Don't deliberately point it out to them so they know you're worried about it. Just to point out, filling the stone chips with the following method has worked for me several times...

Bagged two bottles of it the other day mate, cheers for the heads up.

Three years ago, Russ/MidlandsCarCare - look at him now!

Holy thread bump, Lee!

It'd be wasted on me, chap. But thanks for the offer. I'm sure Kev/Dave would jump at a sample!

You've called it a mop, so you definitely need to give machine polishing a little more respect. Failure to do so will have you typing up a thread in the Exterior and bodywork section, asking for decent local spray booths in your area (with a mug in one hand and a baby in the other, congrats by...

FFS. I'm home this weekend. How much do you want/need?

So buy Mercury and don't chance it?

Have you bought SSR 2.5? If not, I prefer 3M or Menzerna polishes. Also heard very good things about the Scholl Concepts polishes, so might be worth checking those out. How bad are the swirls?

Mercury. Been around the houses, used several, Mercury is the best.

My answer.

Don't buy Karcher unless it is a top model, as Russ has stated. If you want to spend less, buy a Nilfisk. Metal impellers vs plastic. You tell me which lasts longer.

Blimey Russ, only RHD car? Not to my taste but your name must be getting about a bit to be working on cars like this! Good on you!
