Yet to find a product that can solve this :( Looks good chap - all the better for the fact that it's well protected :) The dirt must have just slid off :)

APC? Not sure on that one chap. That will be stripping off most waxes/LSPs that are on the car if you do that every wash... I think you're thinking of snow foam :) For a standard wash, I pressure wash, snow foam, clean wheels, clean body work with the 2BM, open hose techniq to get rid of most...

Looks a tad slower than I was expecting to be honest. You weren't whizzing around A/E last night were you?

Great watch. Although a supposed "petrol head" just walked passed and said I was sad.

Nothing wrong with that chap :) you weren't to know. You will need to get rid of last stage protection (LSPs) every 6 months to apply a fresh layer.

I prefer the shorter pile towels for pat drying tbh. But the one linked above is superb. I have three of those still and quite a few of these; http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Miracle_Dryer.html Agreed.

The problem with the 2.XX Karchers, is they are sealed units. We bought one, it failed, we were told to buy another as the motors couldn't be replaced. My advice, buy 3.XX and above. Means you won't have to buy twice if the motor fails, as these are removable and can therefore be changed.

Chris, I missed your last question pal, apologies! Karcher are a very well known brand. They are pretty reliable from all accounts. I have one and find it perfectly acceptable! There are quite a few other makes out there, like Nilfisk that quite a number of people are also getting good reviews...

Not really talking about going through buddy, more how much paint you remove each time. The art of machine polishing is to remove swirls and UDS with the least amount of paint depth loss possible.

You will have polished the previous sealent off buddy.

Ah a MF mitt user, like Richy. I can't stand them, but each to their own ;) As above, depends how far you want to go, but a decent mitt, two buckets, a decent shampoo (megs gold class is perfectly acceptable) and a decent drying towel. The one you've linked to is awesome!

Lol, missed that one. Can't even remember what the hell it is now?! As above. Get a pro to fix the car's paint, then buy the right equipment to maintain it, i.e. washmitt, two buckets, etc.

Think they have three super cars in that colour, specially made. Can't remember what the third car is though...

I have no intention of trying to convince you. Snow foam has its uses, if you feel/think you might need it, buy it. But it will help your paint work to look like this; Rather than this; Again buddy, not a dig, but you're either into detailing or your not! :) Not exactly true. A bucket...

Lovely. Shame the one above presumes UK parking rules are not applicable to them...

I thought you worked for the post office? Need more pics of the mini, and what happened to the 172??

43k is nothing in the bigger scheme of things mate. And like you said, doing 1k a year means that will soon even out to minimal miles for the age. 53reg?

What miles is in on now Highlander?

"Scene" on FB, lav it.

By finish, you mean wait months for it to dry?

Chopped springs and rust? Still don't get the "style". But granted, the boy has dedication - lol at whipping up a wiring loom from scratch!!!

Good video. Not sure I would have either though...

Christ! That's cheap! Very low miles!

Medium brush, an all purpose cleaner like Meguiars APC or Tesco's Daisy and patience. Bare in mind, the wetter the seat belts get, the more slowly they will dry. And if you force dry them, you might end up with streaks. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first, to make sure they are colour...

Not any more ;)

How is this a project thread?

Hi buddy, have a search, there are lots of DIY threads about this. Look in the detailing section as well. Also, if you're unsure, have you used a machine polisher before? 600 grit is also FAR to abrasive! Have a look around - lots of useful chaps and threads :)

Too big, too fussy, and I like flat faces on the wheels... Those don't suit the car. I feel your (back) pain.

Wheels look VERY out of place :(
