  1. He's referring to the BlackVue DR970X (2ch, 64gb version specifcally by looks of it); https://blackvue.co.uk/shop/cameras/dr970x-2ch/
  2. ^^^That. I have nothing else to add to that.
  3. Highlights should still only take about ten minutes. With eight moniutes of intros and analysis, obviously.
  4. The paint on the black one is dreadful, there's orange peel on nearly every panel. Given that it's been valeted, I'd be suprised if it's not wearing something masking a whole bunch of swirls as well, but that is purely speculation. Can't really tell the state of the paint on the grey one from those pictures, but the headlights do look cloudy. It hasn't been valeted but still loks tidy enough to imply it's cared for. That aside, the grey one looks to be in much better condition - the bolster on the driver's seat in that black one looks worse than the seat in my 350Z, for example. I'd agree with BBK, I'd go for the grey one on condition too. Or at least go take a closer at that one.
  5. For a ceramic coating, you'll need to apply to clean, bare paint. Once the coating has cured, you can wax on top but by doing so you're basically wasting wax because it won't bond to the coating. AG Ceramic Spray is more sealant than coating though. Ideally, apply it to bare paint and wax on top - it still won't bond particualrly well, but AG Ceramic Spray has poor durability for a ceramic itself so you'll need to top it up every couple of months - there are a good few waxes that will give better durability, in all honesty. If you wax on top of AG Cermic Spray regularly (probably needs fortnightly top ups at least) it should extend that a bit... maybe three or four weeks at a push. Always wax on top of any sealant/coating, not under, for best results.
  6. It's an incredibly strong alkeli and is quite corrosive (particularly to metals...) as a result. It makes strong claims about doing literally everything - cleans, degreases, removes iron, removes brake dust AND leaves a "corrosion-resistant, soil-shedding" layer behind. Not that I'm skeptical (I am) but I'd be surprised if it did any one of things particularly well. I feel I should test this... oh, except it doesn't include any Thioglycolic acid (according to TW's own IDD and the SDS) so it's not a fallout remover at all. In all honesty, looking at the IDD it looks like a fairly standard wheel cleaner/degreaser but doesn't do anything particularly special.
  7. I missed that. I would have questioned them instead of you had I not!
  8. It’s Officer Perkins place to prove guilt, not mine to prove innocence… That court case is interesting. I wonder if there’s any intention to go after the customers fitting illegal exhausts at the point of sale based on intent (rather than based on use, as is the current approach of Officer Perkins), surely they are just as, if not more, culpable?!?
  9. I'm genuinely surprised magazines are still a thing at all given the current consumer trends. The website is largely standalone these days, it doesn't really rely on the presenters for content but the shows producers were still involved. It could go very easily go either way in my opinion; those producers still need jobs after all and the Top Gear name is still a draw at the moment.
  10. It’s been many years since TG was about reviews at all, in any guise. They have their own magazine & website (and YouTube channel) for anything remotely resembling a reviews.
  11. But, again, the manufacturer does not recognise any difference between them and treats the branding as interchangeable. Hence, distributers are selling them as the same thing.
  12. It’s not really like that at all. Turtle Wax treat them as interchangeable, not as separate products in any way, so why would resellers. If (if!) there are any differences, and Turtle Wax themselves heavily indicate there aren’t, so unless John works there and mixes them himself I’m not sure where he’s getting his information from, it’s more akin to ordering Coke Zero and getting Coke Zero with more bubbles in, really*. *Yeah, I have no idea what ingredients are in Coke Zero to make a better analogy.
  13. Probably because Turtle Wax think they're the same thing barring the branding...
  14. I’m honoured my opinion matters so much to you.
  15. Strap yourself in, I've been saying the 370Z headlights are ugly since 2008.
  16. If it was ugly 3 years ago, it shouldn’t surprise anyone to discover the same thing, unchanged, is still ugly 3 years later…
  17. Ridiculous suspension and tyre stretch aside, that surprisingly doesn't look any worse than the standard Z. That is not a compliment.
  18. That’s disappointing, although not all that surprising unfortunately.
  19. Anyone else find it odd that they took a picture of the front of the car having come from behind the car? @HEADPHONES There's a decent view of both of them in those videos, any interest from the police at all? That's a stretch. It could just as easuly be a Lex Autolease employee!
  20. Very well? VERY well?! Pahahahahahaahahahaha. That is all.
  21. They're Akebono 4 pots up front with 15inch rotors.
