Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

[JaredHasNoBrain]

I know, I hate swirl marks but I lack how to get rid of them. plus I've never seen anyone use a machine polisher outside too
They all seem to be in a garage with a couple of spot lights, where I've got sun on a very hot car lol

 

[Mr R.]

Joking aside, yes its good as you can spend what you can afford.

I like seeing the results though.

I need to buy some pads and compounds to do my van, going to use my rotary.

Was going to buy the Menzerna stuff.

 

[Scrooge]

Nothing wrong with the Menzerna stuff mate

 

[Mr R.]

Its only for my white van, ive not washed it in 2 years or so.

​Paint as flat as a witches tit.

 

[Scrooge]

Claying will transform it then lol

 

[JD]

Sorry Ant, cleared. Monday or Wednesday suit at all?

 

[JD]

Flol, clay now absorbs tar apparently.

Thanks all.

@JD - most of what we are witnessing on this clay bar is sap removal and the odd rogue/bonded tar spot, which will remain after a thorough deironising and detarring process; as undertaken on every detailing job that I execute.

The spot witnessed has been absorbed by the claybar and has no means of inferring/inflicting damage to the paintwork.

​Yeah about 2 ton of the stuff, its going to be hard work....lol

I wouldn't mind if it looked like they folded the clay once in a while lol

 

[JD]

Wednesday. Done deal, I'll text Sir Boberton.

 

[Scrooge]

Sweeeet!

Lol. Id go back on and troll on a different account but its no fun because you get banned instantly for anything remotely negative. At least this forum can tolerate morons like me.

I just question without trying to sound clever. Doesn't seem to wind them up, but does call out the wrong doings.

Also, speaking of trolling, since yesterday I'm so tempted to now send a photo of every black 320d I see and ask if it's you lol!!

 

[Cliotoby]

Yeah that was piss poor dude. Didn't even have red interior

 

[JD]

That I didn't know. But guessed you're not a white haired old boyo that takes up two lanes like an arsehole. Also, FYI, a 1.8T boosts away from a 320d with ease

 

[Yellow Dave]

A3 1.8T standard couldn't match a 182 on many occasions. 320d must be really lazy. 330d was quite impressive

 

[Cliotoby]

Yeah theyre s**t.

I thought the 330 was just as crap tbh. Sure its got more torque but still boring and it felt like there was 2 tonnes over the front axle from the engine.

 

[JD]

278 and similar torque on mine, so not a fair "standard vs standard" comparison tbf.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Very boring! friend has one with the flappy paddle / tiptronic box and makes it more so. Roads were too busy to try out the handling. But it got up to speed much quicker than I expected.

 

[Yellow Dave]

​I presumed yours was the v6, impressive figures for the 1.8t

You'd be surprised what the 184 20d can do I think. Needs to be driven right though. 1st and 2nd gear are piss poor but 3rd to 5th are pretty good. All about discipline

Really want mine mapped but its rented so cant really modify it.

 

[MatthewR]

May be a daft question, but how likely is it that the lease company is going to find out about a map?

 

[JD]

​I presumed yours was the v6, impressive figures for the 1.8t

Stage one map on a 225 S3 usually sees 255. With the larger Turbo Intake Pipe from Badger5 people see 270+ on stg 1. I'm lucky enough to have a strong engine!

 

[Scrooge]

It's all about 1.9 pd 8vs

 

[Yellow Dave]

My work runabout isn't even the pd engine, the older Mk4 Golf 1.9 tdi 90bhp FTW! comes with knackered flywheel that vibrates so much when coming to a stop people think it's miss-firing. 1999 so tax is done on engine size on C02 emissions, £225 FTL

I forget sometimes how tuneable to VAG lumps are

 

[Scrooge]

Ouch.

 

[Cliotoby]

Is a brand new tub of CG Wheel Guard any use to anyone?
