It ended up like that but wasn't what the thread was for. At least this one can answer most questions.

Re: The new EP3 Type R brakes be cheap!

Re: The Stupid Car Cleaning/Detailing Questions Thread.. I've reported it mate, see if we can change the thread title.

They are awesome. Of course put some poorboys on them but I would leave them off until I got the right sealant. So much easier to do and they'll be protected for so long!

Welcome mate. I had a n Aaustrain chap buy my RHD Frp to take back. Not sure if I could use one all the time on those roads though!

Personally I wouldn't bother with anything unless it's a ceramic sealant mate. They will just fade after a few weeks of heavy braking. Get something like Gtechniq C5 or Cquartz sealant aftre they are refurbed.

It actually looks like it's been badly painted mate. Scratches from the prep stage and etching from the rain or contamination. It's definitely etching. Probably acid rain on uncured lacquer or weak lacquer. Wet sanding and polishing would help but even then it needs painted or wrapped imo.

I did it with nanolex ultra last night! :o Not sure what the f**k went wrong, was ready to get the compound out! Applied another layer and then it came off a treat. Think it was the low temps in the garage.

Re: The Stupid Car Cleaning/Detailing Questions Thread.. Not really. The likes of Bos should actually be preceeded with Shield. Most people use Z2 though. Waxes will bond to sealants just fine, providing it's done right. Just like Z2 bonds to Amigo or any glaze bonds to a wax/sealant if done...

Re: The Stupid Car Cleaning/Detailing Questions Thread.. Sort of what Dave is saying. Z2 is a stunning base product for the likes of BOS and R222's or pinnacle. Waxes which look immense but simply don't last. Luckily the likes of Z2 have great durability if bonded to the paint right. I see 6...

Re: The Stupid Car Cleaning/Detailing Questions Thread.. Yeah, be reet mate. Make sure the car is clayed to remove any leftovers just incase. But polishing will remove anything else. Sort of. I use Zaino Z2 as a base for summer waxes mate. :) Usually wait 24 hours on the sealant totally...

Ah that not good! I did the flapper mod last night after detailing the fancy beetle. I'll get a vid up later hopefully.

Nice offer to entice people in. I couldn't be without my Sky Sports tbh! Although during the summer it's never really on apart from some Golf, SSN and the F1.

Is that a case or a sleeve? I'm not into cases really prefer just a sleeve to pop it in when not using.

Thanks for all the help chaps. Should be here in the next couple of days. :) There are probably a hundred more questions but that'll do for now! I'll order up a nice sleeve for it just now.

Hmmm I see it as LP mk2 with no drawbacks tbh. Correction and filling via machine definitely outstrips hand application. Maybe try working it more like a polish? R222's is actually the new name of P21's mate. Very confusing I know! P21's hasn't been used for years.

Yeah they are but I used old C1 mate. It doesn't perform as well if it's been opened and left btw. :)

Hopefully I can do it without iTunes. I'm with Vodafone. Just use the hotspot function?

Best on light colours mate. Quick filler heavy and great at stripping dirt. R222's are sold by Polished Bliss and Clean your car now. :) Tough prep will be good Raceglaze is pants. :)

I got the Vintage from a friend. I did laugh at the price of some of those samples!

Thanks chap. We didn't even have the iPad1 long enough to worry about that. Gave it back to her Dad because we didn't use it. Decided to go for a new one now.

Hi chaps, just ordered a new iPad from Apple. Was going to go for the iPad2 but price difference is minimal breaking it down. 2 quick questions really: Tethering from my iPhone? Call up my provider? And itunes? Will it recognise it as a total different device and create it's own settings? I...

C1 on the outside of the exhaust will last a long time mate. It works to incredible heat. On the inside of the just seal it and clean as normal with apc then a light polish. C1 lasted 8 months+ on my Frp exhuast, heavy gasses also.

Z6 + z8 2x MF applicators Mercury metal polish PB detailing brush Swissvax leather cleaning brush More P21's cleanser G101.. again! f**k me I can drink that stuff! Samples of Desire + Vintage arrived yesterday.

Oh hi there!

5 ltrs! A litre a Panel wipe I use for cars is 3/4 full. I've been using it for 4 months! It's weird how ipa/panel wipe works.

My sides. I didn't say Trophies were charver wagons. The 182 can be.

I'm old too and can insure som serious metal for less than a Trophy!

Flol! 182 Charver owners more like. 3 times as much as my 3.2 to insure... f**k off eh! Honestly it's mental I love those little cars but my got their owners have driven insurance prices up big time and I can insure a lot for minimal cost.

There is a Black 182 on here with Trophy dampers and seats in better nick that 50% of the Trophies on sale! Utterly shocking some of them. I looked at one before buying the Frp then realised i'd be paying insurance of an 18 year old charver! Mental!
