Holy s**t the before and after on the wheels lol. What is the acid wheel cleaner?

Where did you find it at £12 a litre mate? Cheers

It's been in a very hot room and then outside in the cold, best of both lol! Probably why it's fucked it!

Looking at buying some Auto Finesse Aqua Coat - used Hydro2lite before and I assume it's similar to this? (My 1L Hydro2lite has gone all cloudy with white bits floating in it - is it still any good lol?) Do you use this kind of product (aqua coat) after applying a wax paste/spray wax? I would...

How many people can say that about a car they've owned for 10 years+? It says a lot about these 1*2s. Nice car mate.

Thanks, just what I was after, can't wait to try out the rubber hose, the plasticy one is incredibly frustrating to use!

Got a 120 and the standard hose is awful - gets tangled all the time and not long enough, been looking on eBay for replacements but they all seem to be 'rubber wire reinforced' and look to be made out of the same stuff as my one. Any idea where to get a rubber/more flexible one? And I should...

Look pretty good in white.

Is that similar to AF Triple? I've only used Triple and had great results, I hear AG SRP is similar? Might give it a go.

Thanks. Will most likely go Menzerna and chem guys pads.

Thanks for the reply - sorry for hijacking your thread Ant. Glad you mentioned that, looks to be a good bit of kit and not too expensive at £159.95. Will go for this one then - unfortunately they don't do any bundles with polishes/pads on this one! (except Sonax). Was looking at Menzerna for...

@gally can you advise before I decide which to buy? Thanks in advance

Can I ask why the Vertool over the Das? I'm looking to get into machine polishing and am unsure which one to go for.

Went and bought the Blue fine clay mitt from CleanYourCar. Looking forward to trying it compared to traditional clay, must save loads of time!

Clay mitts/towels, what are you guys using? Anything to note re use? Have used a clay bar before and understand a mitt is a lot faster/easier to use! Seen a couple on clean your car, namely: CarPro - Polyshave Clay Cloth Clay Mitt - Green Mild Grade

I would definitely go for the M2. Perhaps a different price range but I prefer the looks of the M2 and also I would've thought they are more involving/fun to drive, as they are smaller. Havn't drove either so I could be completely wrong, but that's my opinion.

I think the French flags look great. I have always hated them on 1*2s, but on this one it just seems to suit it so well, it somehow looks clean against the RB paintwork!

Off-topic somewhat but I must say your videos are good. I remember when you first started making them and some mocked, but actually it seems you have built quite a following already, 2.7k subs isn't bad! Your videos have a niche in some ways and you are clearly getting better each video. Keep it...

Looks good. Did it cost you an arm and a leg? Looking to get my Impreza detailed (is in dire need of a machine polish) and am pretty local to West Brom. Seem to look good on Facebook at least!

Thanks for the responses - much useful information, will give those a try.

You mean, something horrible like wonder wheels? I wouldn't want to risk damaging my wheels but may have no choice! Should've cleaned them more often since refurb. Will have a look at the Carpo inside. Thanks.

Ron - will this stuff remove the really stubborn marks on wheels i.e. brake dust etc that has really stuck on hard. It's an Iron/Decontaminant based wheel cleaner right? Also question for you all - best product for removing hard stains on interior plastics i.e. plastic door card/door pockets...

160bhp standard? What do they map to? Must go well they can't weigh much more than, what, 1150kg?

Nice car. Standard rear lights would look much better, the dark cherry red ones. Never understood why people changed Mk5 lights to those golf plus (?) ones. Also had those wheels (albeit replicas) on my first car, a Mk5 1.4 Golf, really are a good looking wheel!

Very nice couple. Bet the clio feels slow compared to that hunk of torque of a 330d? What MPG do you get in a mapped 330d?

Looks like you're having fun, shed loads of it. What sort of power would you expect before/after remap with your manifold etc? Sorry if already mentioned!

Can you link the for sale advert? Why is he selling?

I have had work done by them before. Paid £400 for front bumper painting/repairing + fitting/painting front lip on a previous car. My dad had front bumper/wings/bonnet + blend into doors done for £700 on his Golf Edition 30 2 years ago. Their work is good to be fair.

Got a quote for some paintwork on my 2005 Impreza Sti. The work I have been quoted for is to paint the front bumper, front wings, rear bumper (not the largest of rear bumpers), bonnet, blend into doors, paint and fit front splitter + side skirt extensions (small items from HTAutos, no bad boy...

Sup. Yeah my car makes that noise, how did you guess? 😂 Blitz Nur Spec R no less! Tempted by that Vibe one you linked (its a sub/amp in one..right? So no need to buy an amp as well down the line?). Don't fancy dicking around with getting power wires to the battery through the car...
