  1. Cheers mate
  2. Hi guys I need to get them replaced soon Are these the right bit of kit? Thanks Rob http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Front-Compression-Arm-Banana-Arm-Bush-Kit-SuperPro-Poly-/331034014871?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item4d132a3497
  3. Never used these on a Zed but ran them on the Focus RS and Racing Puma and, noise aside, loved them.
  4. I've just ordered some Autobrite Hellshine GhostRider - will be interesting to see how this compares to the G1 or G5 classics
  5. Think he means Yeti's fist etc. I stick mine in the washing machine with my microfibers and haven't had a problem with it, I do have to brush it but that takes a minute or so, even if that means I can wash the car 5 times more without having to polish the swirls out I'm probably still saving time compared with the time taken polishing. Indeed I did. Always get my wookies and mammoths mixed up....
  6. I have a Nomad portable pressure washer, which is brilliant http://www.nomad-direct.co.uk/index.php You can do your car in one trip (I live in a flat) and the pressure is like a decent pressure garden hose, which is fine for me
  7. Getting a bit confused. I've been cleaning cars for decades and have always used a sponge!. Am I risking the paint work then or not in your opinions? What I tend to do is this; Using my jet washer I soak the entire car with water and remove loose dirt with the lance. Then I use a snow foam all over the vehicle. Rinse off, followed by going over the whole car with a sponge using the two bucket method ~ one with soap/warm water & the other to clean the sponge. Then I use a chamois clothe to dry the whole car. Opinions please, thanks. Some people think sponges cause swirls. The reality is any poor technique will... the preferred sponge type to closed cell sponge, like a grout sponge, as the dirt doesn't get trapped in it. My comment re the sheep skin mitt (e.g. wolly mammoth et al) is that they need brushing and drying properly otherwise the get hard and harbour bits of dirt which cause swirls. I've now settled on a Microfibre Madness Incredimitt, which I think is the best bit of kit now. Mitt convenience, but machine washable and non of the downsides of real wool
  8. I think you need to read the post a bit closer.... Sorry dude I did read it just really surprised that after 2 weeks there is little evidence of protection, especially if Jetseal was on there. When detailingworld did a 'mega' wax and sealant test, JS109 lasted months. Just surprised. Have a sample of this stuff to try, so now I will
  9. Does the right side have either Dodo or Jetseal on it? Looks like hardly any protection!
  10. I like Supernatural Hybrid or Britemax Vantage
  11. Which half is which? Left side is beading well but the right isn't looking too hot
  12. Tyromania, from my experience, is matt compared to Meg's Gel
  13. My clutch is doing my head in at the moment. Lumpy and jumpy, hard to pull away too. Starting to wonder if I need a new one...
  14. Go for products made from vinyl wrap, such as http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/scholl-concepts-no-gloss-spray-wax-sealer-for-matt-paints.php?osCsid=bh4gdh9bnic853780mljrn0bm3
  15. If anyone has any service issues (or royal mail issues) give Richard @ Waxybox an email and he will sort it out straight away I had something not turn up - replacement sent straight away
  16. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autosmart-Brisk-Dry-Foam-upholstery-for-Car-Valeting-/300448846345?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item45f4259209 This is the stuff. Name change, same stuff
  17. How dirty are we talking mate? You can also use an extraction cleaner (like a vax) but I would only recommend this if they're filthy or stink Brisk foam is very, very good
  18. Leather or cloth? If leather, use a magic sponge and leather cleaner - will nicely remove all the gunk. Most will do but I use Zaino or Britemax. There's mixed views as whether you should use a leather 'feed' product on modern leather - but I'm sure some of the leather experts will be along soon. If cloth, use a foam cleaner - like Autosmart Brisk Foam - and rub in with a mf cloth. Then seal with a fabric protector a la Gtechniq or Scotchguard
  19. Decent box....! Any golden tickets or bigger wax runner up prizes... (I got the latter...)
  20. Love the Meg's but try Ultima tyre and trim sealant too Amazing finish and super durable
  21. Did this via detailingworld and would recommend it
  22. If you Iike Auto finesse go to carchem... They make the Auto finesse stuff and buying direct is much cheaper... Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
  23. Doubt you caused it mate. It is nasty stuff as very corrosive due to their diets. Only way around it is to use decent sealant or was regularly and then remove the mess when it occurs. Worse situation is when they dump on a Cabriolet roof. Hard to get off and dyes the material Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
  24. ... And the anniversary box is sold out... Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
  25. Another clean your car fan. Also like i4deailing too. Best products I've discovered are the sonax range... Their wheel cleaner is amazing and their quick detailer is an amazing sealant too... All from cleanyourcar Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
