    New car paint protection

    I'm going to ask Tom or Dan if we can have a ban hammer everytime people talk about detailing, when meaning they wash their car. A detail on a car, or a car part, or area, is the full works. Simple. It is costly for a reason - it takes the car back to factory condition, in fact better than...

    Facetime Thread

    Gay. Both phones have wifi connections (the same connection, unless this is my issue?), both sent a text and both have Facetime on in settings etc. The icon appears in the menu while on the call... But it makes a ringing sound, says connecting... but nothing happens... Any ideas Apple-ites?

    New car paint protection

    OK, well first off, right or wrong, most in this thread, myself included, have taken this as you're buying a new car and wanting to know how to protect it. This is why people, again myself included, have suggested not letting the dealer wash it... The next point is; Gally has a valid point...

    New car paint protection

    I don't get what the issue is from either side... Sargara wants to protect the car. He's had suggestions on what to use. If he wants to be shown how to use the products, he speaks to a detailer who comes over and shows him. Have I missed something?

    That has to be a 413, not 410 then! Sheila did 65, and that was scary :cool:

    Suade Cleaning

    Suede is a funny old thing. I would suggest a very neutral wash, but the last thing you want to do is get it too wet. I take it this wheel is removable? If so, take it off, hoover it gently, and use a suede brush to get out all of the loose muck (as Alex posted above). Then try something like...

    New car paint protection

    Just read it's already been delivered. In that case, get in touch with a local detailer (pro, not Bill has a Buffer) and get it protected for Winter. You will not need anything more than that for now. At a later date, i.e. pre summer, you can get it detailed properly and corrected. The...

    Windscreen scratches

    I spoke to a guy from AutoGlass who was in the work car park fitting a windscreen to a Merc. He said insurance couldn't care less if the claim covers one window or 999999999999991. It's a claim that AutoGlass handle as one job as well. The only "sticking" point is you need to make sure they have...

    Windscreen scratches

    In more words, yes. But it's a pain in the arse. And takes a long time. And you might go through your windscreen. Try glass polish as a cheap option from Auto Glym. If not, either live with it, or get a new windscreen. I am replacing all of my windows in the coming months as it's £70 to...

    Quick Waxes

    If you want quick, long lasting protection, look into Chemical Guys' Blitz Spray. I use to top the Clio up with it after a clean. Took 15 minutes, tops.

    Aquartz Wool Wash Mitt

    Ageist. Tried one once. You know what it's like. Walking through Halfrauds looking for anything actually half decent, needed some more Autosol and bought one as 342. Regretted it as soon as it touched the bonnet of the Clio. Not major marring, but not exactly brilliant. Luckily it was just...

    Help In Ipswich - Suffolk?

    b****cks Richy. A swirled car is a swirled car. In fact, the more swirled it is, the less hopeful the owner is of anything being done. Use the same process as you normally would, the only difference is you'll get better 50:50 shots this time ;)

    A little help with my DA

    I know you're not stupid, but be careful with this idea buddy. Last thing we want is your DA zooming off a panel and your neck following in that direction!!
