Thank god the steering wheel buttons are no longer haptic. f**king stupid idea.

Gyeons offering is superb. The only issue is you need to dry the vehicle. Since installing a water softener with 0PPM water, I like to leave it without toweling down, so looking to get some Adams shampoo which you can leave.

If it's Autoglym stuff you'll want it to dwell overnight*. If it's AutoSmart Tardis, 5mins dwell time does the same thing. *don't do this - just underlining the point.

I also use the Glaco stuff. It's in a really easy to use applicator - undo the cover, spread across the screen in circular motion, jet wash off. Dry, apply the sealant, buff. It's lasted a good year on a daily VW, I've just reapplied before Winter.

Why do you need a lawnmower, haven't you got a moat?

Must be due to less heat generated by the missing cylinders.

Hang on, didn't you drive yours into a river recently?

Doesn't help a foggy rear screen on a renowned leaky car!

Good shout. It’s been a while since I’ve used that. I’ll order some.

I need something ultra hydrophobic that’s plastic clear friendly. My rear screen isn’t heated and coming into the cooler months it makes it impossible to see out of until well into my journey. Any suggestions?

You love it (now I know who you are - thanks @Cookie ).

In case anyone does experience this, the video above is true to form. Fixed with ease!

I’ve had a set of OpenRun headphones for running and commuting for about three years. Brilliant item but they’ve recently developed the dreaded rattle. Presumably a speaker loose. Has anyone had the same and attempted the glue gum fix?

I used the lite version for time and ease + no garage. Easy to use. Almost slap it on. Water behaviour, looks, great. Longevity I’ll wait and see. Suggested 1 year (properly prepped and a Sunday car) so we’ll see.

Agreed, I would love to know what it's based on as it's very misleading. This is for outside at my postcode and yet my mobile show one bar of Vodafone and no 4G or 5G.

Nice one. Thanks.

Thanks, yes - first thing I checked but they are EE and Vodafone own websites… pinch of salt given it says full coverage in my area and it’s shocking.

Jeeves will be cross you’ve forgotten his name. He’s still not talking to Lord Moat… Thanks folks. I guess it’s a roll of the dice.

I have six mobile lines and one ISP account with Vodafone. I'm sick of poor reception on the way to work (London/Surrey - 5G if I'm lucky and even then it seems to fail to connect) and Vodafone is no longer the provider of choice in the Lakes for my parents, with EE apparently now being the...

Just done this incl paint. Key point - prep. If the paint doesn’t stick it’ll just come out so make sure you rub down with 2,000 grit, then panel wipe, then paint. Also makes it easier to see the scratch and how much you’ve filled/how level it is.

Really enjoying the results from Synergy Lite. Easy to coat and looks the business. Water behaviour also really good and definitely staying clean longer.

That's the one I'd spotted, but this really helps confirm it's the right one to buy! Cheers all!

Is there a car shampoo that I can leave to dry? We now have 0ppm water and it would be great to rinse and leave.

That's interesting - have you got some longer extensions as the shape of it would produce the same issue trying to get into air vents on the bonnet.

That makes sense. I've got a few machines now including some older rotaries, so not worried about using one. I'll look at costs of the machines and see if I can justify it.

How can I extend my DAS pro to reach really tight spaces? The standard setup bumps the “head” of the machine on surrounding panels and paint.

Went with the SONAX matey. Thank you. Topped with Synergy Lite v2. Amazing finish!!!

Thanks as always buddy. Few marks here and there to nip out as you say. Bloody fox was clearly ice skating on it too.

What's the best finishing polish at the moment? Low dust, easy to work etc. My car was washed by the fuckwits who last serviced it, having expressly told them not to, and it looks like a spider on crack had a go over the paintwork.
