  1. Got mine this morning, fitted it this evening lol, not had a chance to test drive but runs ok. Only issue is a very slight increase in panel gab on the n/s of the bonnet, will try and remedy it another night when I'm not on call lol
  2. And the fact that 100% carnauba wax is infact so hard and brittle that it's completely useless as a wax, it needs the softening and bonding agents to make it work as a car wax. If you use Dodo Juice Supernatural then you'll know as Dodo Juice explain all this on their website...
  3. Paul Dalton has been about for a while, the other guy has just followed suit. As already said, if you can convince one millionaire to part with that sort of money to detail his £1m car and you do a good enough job, obviously he will recommend you to his peers etc. Using products like Zymol waxes helps convince people to pay up too considering a tub of Zymol Royale Wax is now £8400!
  4. Japanese cars, particularly Honda, Mitsubishi and Subaru have stupidly thin paint that damages very easily.
  5. Some cars, depending on the colour, use white primer, often bright coloured cars such as reds, blues or yellows so it could be that that you're seeing... General rule of thumb is if you can catch your finger nail in the scratch then its too deep to machine polish out. A machine polish/rotary/orbital etc is usually a variable speed machine that can use a different variety of size and type of heads. You use a cutting agents with these heads to remove the marks - cutting agents vary in the depth of "cut" they give to the paint, some will cut deeper than others and some are used for final stage polishing. Cutting means the amount of paint the machine and agent will remove, don't worry, it's microscopic layers. Paint thickness is measured in Microns, a decent cut will remove a few layers but not all unless you're being a complete idiot with it.
  6. Best thing for swirls and scratches is a proper machine polish. All of these products merely fill in or hide the marks, they don't get rid of them. The marked layer of paint has to be removed with a fine cutting agent and a rotary. It costs a lot but then again, its a time consuming job, I did a car and it took 18hrs to get it sorted, some cars can take as long as 50hrs! But the results are very worth it if you like to keep your car looking it's best
  7. The SF Lance I have has a mixer valve on the top (you see me turning it in the vid) so you don't need to add water to the bottle but I will give it a go and see how it turns out next time even with that little bit I put into the bottle, there was still most of it left! It really is concentrated stuff! Thanks guys for the feedback, I'm glad you guys are impressed.
  8. Don't forget to buy the proper lance too
  9. Thank you Yeah the snow foam is a great part, you can't really see it in my vid as the car was already clean, I'd only done it the week before lol Polished Bliss' video of snow foam shows the dirt being lifted and pulled out from the gaps etc it works really well.
  10. It's seems a bit long but edited down as much as I could which means a few steps are missing but you get the idea lol. Hope you like.

  12. Since this has been my first weekend off in months with decent weather I decided to get up early and give the car a damn good clean. I bought a new pressure washer a few weeks back so was a opportunity to break it in too though I'll be doing it again as I've just ordered an Autobrite Snow Foam Lance and Snow foam so just waiting for it to come. The paint on the car was odd as it felt rough but when using a Claybar it appeared to pull very little off but obviously worked as it was left glass smooth, only down side was having to stop after claying because the rain started, though it didn't last for long and I could finish off the car soon after. Stuff I used today: Nilfisk Alto C120 Pressure Washer Zymol Auto Shampoo Dodo juice "Born Slippy" Clay Lube Meguiars regular soft white clay Meguiars Plast-X Meguiars Glass Cleaner Meguiars Metal Polish Dodo Juice Light Fantastic Soft Wax AutoSmart SmartWax Meguiars Hot Shine Tyre Dressing And the finishing touch - The Dodo juice 'Clingy' Stickers Rear Window Front Window I know the pics are a little dull, just as I finished the dark clouds came rolling over, in typical British weather fashion it started raining again just after I finished the pics :svk: Anyways, thanks for looking
  13. Ok well I have the Bose 6 disc HU in my 2004 Zed and it's skipping discs, done a bit of digging on here and found this is a common fault, obviously no warranty to claim on so I'm after a replacement. I don't want anything like a DVD player or TV unit but I do want one that comes with a proper iPod connection (not an AV input), single din or double is fine and obviously has to be compatible with the Bose System, I have a budget of about £400. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance
  14. Apparently not a troll or a wind up, the guy genuinely did it. Everything from page 3 onwards is basically people ripping into him about it and people from all corners of the Internet signing up to give him grief lol
  15. Keep reading, putting two bottles in would've been a fail at best, this guy Epically failed
