Russ is testing a new metal sealant. Have a quick read in his black gold 182 thread.

As has been stated, the more you know, the less likely you are to be impressed by a (black) shiny bonnet. For all we know, that has just been wet sanded to take away the usually poor BMW finish. Not a negative point, you understand. But much more detail on application; curing; longevity...

Laugh unusually loud ZOMG?

The test of all tests is a PDG...

Tyre shine gives a good sheen, over the more usual "wet look" - I like. Good work, future wife.

Again, Tescos but the glass cleaner is hidden behind other products.

Big brakes, yes. Faded blue big brakes, no.

Let down by the wheels and the gay coloured 6 pots**. And your inadequate detailing skillz y0*. *joke **not joke x

You can put them in the wash. And actually you should. Treat them as you would your MFs, i.e. no softener.

Interestingly, I don't like the skirts. And I also think the wheels are too "see through" so the silver Brembos look odd. Honestly no idea why. Perhaps I'm tired, because previous to those mods, I loved it!

Thought I recognised the tune. Cheers lad.

Chav... ;) Song, Luke?

Sounds like the molecules of the product are sticking. Next time, try a glass polish first to rid of all grime and oils. Then glass cleaner. Glass cleaners don't actually clean anything other than dust and water spots. Hence needing something slightly more aggressive like a polish.

That's the jobby. The aircon system gets moisture, which then harbours bacteria. That's what causes the odour. A bit like smelly shoes/feet.

Rotary? Or Da? Rotary was always 1500 as the top figure. Usually 600-800 below that. Che k out the zenith technique. Always worked well for me with both finishing and more heavy cutting work. Da is usually the same but with spread on 2, work in on 4 and cut on 6 ( then back down).

Buy a cheap "bomb". Pressurised container that you set off while the aircon is running. Halfords were selling them a few years back for just £1.

You won't need a heavy compound. 3M yellow tops with yellow pad will suffice on Renault paint.

Great cars. Great spec. But those wheels are really out of my taste zone. And I'm sure you've explained it already but; this over an RS4? Really?!

Hehasdone. War and peace springs to mind.

DA if you have it. Lighter (especially in comparison to the Silverline) so easier to get round the car quickly.

Will do Kev, doubt you'll want any of them mate. Aucky, any shade? Gazebo?

Fark, that is somewhere in my detailing cupboard :S what amuses me about my "hobby" (read: obsession) is I had a clear out the other day and found about 30 BNIP items :S

Agreed but I don't usually want anything from a QD apart from something that lubricates dust/oils/fingerprints off the surface. A poor product at best. Stick with the Sonus. I've found they can be depleted by a strong APC ratio in snow foam. Worth a try, say G101 4:1 or 2:1. I've heard...

No.

I'll nudge you on the text soon my friend. Perhaps a pint one evening.

Still in Clapham mate, if you've got an outside hose I'll come to you. Need to DA mine at some point!

I'd quite like to see this, as I'm sold on the looks, just not on the engine (M please). Considering the quite frankly astounding difference in terms of numbers of "soft top days" to the North, a soft top would actually make sense for me at the moment.

Rinse is preferred Stevey, if not try something like one of these; http://www.chemicalguys.com/DUST_MONSTER_XL_Merino_Wool_Auto_Duster_CAR_DUSTE_p/acc_m04.htm

Meh.

As previously stated by most in this thread, the only Dodo Juice wax worth its salt is SN.
