Can someone remind me if this is a lacquer issue and therefore will need spraying again? Or is it surface of the plastic and therefore I can get away with applying a ceramic sealant after wet dry/polishing? Golf mk7 if it makes any difference.

My rear screen is neither heated nor made of modern materials and therefore steams up and doesn't displace water that well. It's also a relatively shallow angle so water doesn't necessarily bead off it at higher speeds. What would you use inside for demist and outside for water displacement...

Hi folks, struggling for time to do my daily and would like it ceramic coated. Any recommendations for south London/Kingston upon Thames/Surrey way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What’s everyone’s go to these days? Finally ran out of Hubiwash so need something to replace it. Gwash? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone any advice or experience in increasing the centre bore on a wheel? I need to go from approx 63mm to 68mm diameter on a 17” wheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is the least offensive to ones hands and arms? I’m still rocking the Porter cable 7424 from 17 years ago... still going strong. However, I wondered if there was a new machine that’s less of a pain to use? Thoughts on a postcard team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Before Daniel has a coronary about me asking for detailing advice without a new car thread... see attached. I fell out of love with the Westfield after a series of seemingly poor mechanic choices. Major works bring it up to spec oct19-dec19 only for them to c**k up coolant bleeding and it...

A new to me car is in pretty good nick but it is the first time I’ve had a really vibrant metallic colour. I’m not fussed by 1000% correction as I once was - I’m interested, for now, in a damn good combination of glaze and lsp. Any thoughts, machine friendly pref. Sent from my iPhone...

Not been in here in some time... Gel coats. Anything I need to be aware of? Most detailing knowledge has left my brain it would seem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi folks, A member of my family has just bought a flat in Bath. Setting them up with internet, it's become clear that the usual suspects either cannot deliver or provide a very low MB/S speed. Sky - 4-6 Virgin - no go Zen - 5 Vodafone - 4-7 etc Rightmove seems to suggest we could get 60mbps but...

Hi folks, No harm in having a bit of input on this, although my mind is pretty set - my towel and wash mitt are both knackered. One is old, the other was put in too hot a wash so has fallen apart. What towel and mitt is everyone using these days? I was going to go for the CarPro mitt and the...

After some advice when buying a Macbook. It'll be a joint purchase between my other half and I. I will only use it for car related software. She, however, intends to use it for photo editing. At this stage, I've decided we'll go for a 13", which will suffice until we have more room in the new...

Hi guys, Putting this in here as you lot will look, rather than FS section. - Swissvax Best of Show 50ml tub. Used twice by @gally and I for testing when I couldn't decide - 95+% full. The lid is slightly dodgey due to Royal Fail, but has not affected the seal and thus the wax. Bought for £60...

Track car being towed by a van, 182 following (lowered, exhaust modded etc). Z4M passed you - hello.

Looking for a sample for mine. And by sample, I mean enough to do my car. Can anyone help out? Swaps, money, sexual favours from Gally all up for grabs @gally @Scrooge @aucky etc etc Ta.

Gents, My wheels are away being refurb'd and will be back next Saturday. Luckily the missus is away Saturday, so I'll have time to clean and protect on arrival home. I need; - new wheel brush/es - the brakes make it difficult to get to the backs on one location per wheel so need a larger and...

As above. Would like to buy one for holidays and car stuff. Popped into Currys and they clearly don't have a clue. There are quite sizeable price jumps from £99, to £264 to £349... I'd like; Decent film Decent stills Decent audio Cheers for any opinions!

Have any of the usual suspects tried this stuff? @gally @Yellow Dave @Scrooge @yellowbelly @Chapppers11

@gally @Scrooge @Yellow Dave @Chapppers11 @aucky Gents, what is your go to Summer/show wax these days? I was about to get a full pot of illusion coupled with a wax mate but thought I'd ask first. The blue of the Zed doesn't respond to a quick going over with Reload as the old red Panzer used...

Gents. After another thread below about hand polishing out swirls, and @TomSx mentioned 50 Cal. Cover Up, it got me thinking. Unfortunately after taking the Zed to BMW, it's been washed and undone all of my correction work. This happened with the Audi and Tripple coupled with C2V3 gave me...

Guys, any suggestions on a decent place to get this done? I'd prefer someone that is linked to a detailer, so I can get my wheels sealed at the same time. Usual thing, I don't have time or space, so would rather drop off, work, collect and pay.

So as most of you know, after the panzer left me a week or so ago, I picked up a Z4M Roadster. Few quick details; 56 plate Interlagos blue 54k miles Cruise Bluetooth Black fully electric and heated seats BiXenon Completely standard The initial pick up of the car wasn't quite as happy as I'd...

Hi, What's the best way of doing this, if the computer appears to not be able to find photos and videos on the phone? Plug it in, comes up with autoplay options, open folder to view files, nothing found... Any ideas?

Can someone link me to the insane Westfield driving video please.

Hi guys, Thanks again to Auto Finesse for the delivery and chance to test the new formula Imperial acid free intensive alloy wheel cleaner. I've tried the previous incarnation before, when it was included in my waxybox a good few months back. I remember being impressed at the time as my...

Hi, Best way of charging an iPhone without the use of sockets? I've seen solar powered versions, but are they really any good? Sorry, I know you hate this, but Tom J

Very late in the day, I know. Very busy few weeks! Anyway, Illusion. I love this wax. Now my only Summer wax. And works beautifully over a bare base or my other fav (and as requested in this test) over Tripple. First up, dust removal via hose, QD and drying towel, as the car was only washed...

Could have sworn there was a thread for this already, as I posted in it... oh well. Great creative from an ad man PoV (wrap around, may have to reload the page a few times), but looks bloody mean! Presume this will be some sort of Nismo kit, but great looking thing all the same...

Thanks again to Auto Finesse for sending through another test product for us all to review. This time round the product was their much talked about "Revive" Trim product. My trim is C4'd, but was starting to wear off, so it's something I've needed recently, so good timing! This was actually...
