Milteks just make them louder. Same with the Gruppe M. The standard breathing parts are good for some serious horse power. Still wouldn't have the saloon, Avant all the way.

How much Mike?

Same here Mike, Gliptone is the choice of win.

Best song, love it. 350z, meh.

I thought the ladybug Clio had died years ago! Oh well! Never liked the bug eye form, but looks thousand times better without the chav kit!

First get your wash method sorted. Then look at decontamination, then polishing, then sealing etc.

C2.

Nope, the other way around lad. The machines don't have the power/torque to build the required heat to make the polishes break down. Therefore the polishes don't work, regardless of the pads.

Have a look over the Polished Bliss guides, heeaoooh (said in a Cartman "here" voice); http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/safe-washing-and-drying.html http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/decontaminating-paint.html Etc.

Think of disc/pad size as well. The R8's wheels get warmer than my S3's, which will get warmer than your Clios... all to do with size, speed and weight.

Precisely.

I was waiting for that. They don't polish. Waste of money.

EFA.

Indeed, don't give up, but a; be smart about it and b; don't let "maybe's/possibilities" blind you from something that isn't working. If you start getting very minimal number of clients and the "business" doesn't grow, you're flogging a dead donkey. Cut your losses and move on.

At least, Dan :)

The usual, really, so the DAS-6, Porter Cable or Megs G220; http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/meguiars-g220-dual-action-polishing-machine/cat_70.html http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-6-dual-action-polisher/cat_71.html...

The simple problem is the definition of "detailing". Dealers, as Alex has said, will look upon a car as "detailed" as it has an AutoGlym product on it, or a permaguard/diamond brite covering. This is "done" in their eyes. I approached three garages (groups) about four years ago. I took with me...

There are quite a few decent cleaners out there lad. You can use some All Purpose Cleaner products, but like you've said, you need to be careful and test on a very inconspicuous area, to test that it's colour fast. There are a few foaming cleaners as well, like AutoSmart BioBrisk which is great...

If you want to do it, go out and research it chap. It can be done. I choose to do friends and family because I didn't want a hobby to become a job. But people do and have very successfully. There was a thread not too long ago. Done by Mike aka Bifcaids. Have a search. Think products...

476 is not heat resistant. Nor is EGP. If you want to reapply regularly, buy a wax. If you want long lasting protection, you buy a wheel wax. It's quite simple. and the usual applies. Pay more, get more. Poorboys is good. C5 lasts a long time. Hence the price tag. Sent from my iPhone...

I did. I am they and they are me. Nee nor. You're in violation of having a crap thread and a crap attitude. Sent from my iPhone using Brown Bear

Blackfire. The only one that lasts and doesn't sling. You get what you pay for. Sent from my iPhone using Brown Bear

303 or GTechniq for me. There others, but they're my weapons of choice. Sent from my iPhone using Brown Bear

303 Fabric is great stuff and really lays down some protection. You were thinking of 303 Aerospace, specifically for plastic trim.

Currently need two new front tyres on the S3. I would like to have all four the same, but currently running P6000 which are and have been s**t, but the rears are still on 6mm so really no need to get them off. What are people finding as the best tyre at the moment? PZeros? PE2/3s? ContiSports?

Colour difference is down to paint on plastic and metal looking different. Simples. Good work Chris, but sod doing all that hard work to put down some shite wax!

You're not meant to touch the glass part of the bulb on all bulbs - fool ;) Can't stand the car, but at 21, I wouldn't be complaining! Bought out right??? What do you do???
