Sniffing solvents and Police phone boxes aside for a moment (you can come back to that if you really want ) and returning to this; This is 50Cal Detailing's "Track Wheel Wax". However those following the current barrage of products might remember that I've got Slick Rims on some of my wheels and the production version of HubiRims on the other one, subsequently this is currently getting tested on the exhaust... as you can see. Now you should know by now that it's never going to be quite as simple as that so for a control comparison the left (near side) tip got a coat of the pre-production version of HubiRims whilst the rest of the exhaust got a coat of 50Cal - a 2nd coat of each may follow. 50Cal Track Wheel Wax is It's currently priced at £29.99 for 150ml. I applied the HubiRims first, then immediately followed this by applying the TWW, allowed a few minutes for them both to cure (around 7-8 minutes all in) and the buffed the HubiRims followed immediately by the TWW so that I could directly compare each. HubiRims is easy to apply, TWW was actually easier and made HubiRims feel quite thick and heavy to apply in comparison whilst TWW spread much more readily and was easier to get a thin layer - if you've used either version of HubiRims (the production version was very similar to appy) you'll know it's not by any means a difficult product to apply, which should tell you just how easy TWW is! Removal was again noticeably different between the two. HubiRims is slightly grabby when you first break the surface and then buffs off really easily afterwards, TWW just wipes off with very little effort. Both need to be buffed to remove the slight smudging/oil marring so in that sense they're quite similar. I have no idea if either has added gloss on this occasion, I was applying it to a highly polished metal after all, and nor have I checked the water repellency yet - needless to say pictures will follow of beading. Lots and lots of pictures, for lots and lots of beading. In the mean time, there's another teaser in the above picture of one of the LSP's. And if you look closely you can just about see all that remains of Twin #2, as well as some of Twin #1 too... which is, almost ironically, as close as either got to the exhaust this time round. The second layers of LSP's 1, 4, 5, 6 & 7 (I think, they're big numbers, I might have got them wrong) went on today. At this rate I might be done before May.

Jeremy Clarkson was spotted on the M62 today, rumour has it he's joining Hull City FC in the summer window.

Both, combined.

Also. Apologies for the poor Instagram picture.

It smells like a three day headache. You know the smell of Tardis? The product that is essentially solvents mixed with more solvents and thus smells very solventy? Now imagine that smell if someone took an amount of it, shoved it so far up your nose that you can feel it melting the centre of your brain as it leaks out of your ears. It smells like that. But with more melting brains. And solvents. Lots more solvents. It's really just very strong solvents. You'll be able to smell it as you use it, even if you're using it outside. Although I don't know if it's because it destroyed my sense of smell yesterday (I have genuinely been struggling to smell scents today ) or if it's because the solvents have now evaporated somewhat but it doesn't smell anywhere near as strong today.

Just for clarification; when a warning label says "do not sniff" it's probably best not to sniff. When a warning label says "DO NOT SNIFF", you certainly should not sniff! When a warning label says "you MUST have" a mask, eye protection and gloves, it doesn't really mean that you MUST use them. In other news, the second layer of several products goes on today. This update is brought to you courtesy of the boredom from waiting 24 hours between layers.

No, he's the source of the rumours.

Well if he "has left the BBC" but "hasn't left the show", there's only one logical assumption... ... someone's wrong.

I've probably just misunderstood this as I'm finding it a bit difficult to picture in my head but what's to stop them sliding in the opposite direction(s)?

That is all.

...with no respect for Malaysia.

It's tedious with a drill and difficult to keep a constant, regulated pressure for long. Especially on vertical panels!

Need to remove the "s" from "https".

There was nothing good about Prince of Thieves. Nothing!

Are you going to put Nissan wheels on it? GLWTS.

Okay, I'm putting this out there right now; if that happens I may just have to forgive Alonso for his past transgressions. Possibly.

If Nico doesn't come second to Hamilton, Merc may re-consider his employment but as long they're 1-2 I don't think they'll really care too much which way round it is. I'd like to see Alonso go back to Ferrari, it's more convenient for me to hate on people and teams if they're all in the same place. Seriously though, if Alonso did leave McLaren at the end of the season, I'm not sure where he could go if not Merc.

I think I took that to a whole new level today.

If you're just spot treating the odd scratch they're okay (as in adequate). If you're planning on doing the whole car, I'd be surprised if you got a single panel done before getting frustrated with it or breaking yourself in the process.

Men cuddling? That sounds more like rugby to me. Question for you; WWE is no more choreographed than almost everything on TV or films, does that make those "pointless" too? I get that people won't watch it because they don't like it, and that's fine, but I just don't understand the "it's fake so why bother" argument. Yes the outcome is predetermined, yes it's scripted, but ultimately it's about the storyline. Like Game of Thrones with more ridiculous names, less dragons and less female nudity these days (sadly). I don't get the F&F franchise films, the fact that those films are 100% choreographed down to the minute detail doesn't make it pointless; it makes them unappealing to me. That they are about 90% CGI actually makes them more fake than professional wrestling too. Also, the acting is better in wrestling. Incidentally, it's been about a decade or so since the WWE called itself a sport. It's "sports entertainment" now... I appreciate it's semantics, but at least they themselves don't pretend it's a proper sport. After playing UFC, Bellator and WWE off against each other, he singed a new contract with WWE a few days ago now citing WWE's 'willingness' to pay him a "full time salary for a part job".

Me too. Except for Atkin, they know me well enough not to even tell them now

I've resisted commenting until now - I'm sure most of you can guess which side of the fence I'm on! - but with this topic in particular I can't help but think; Meh, some people care, some people don't. So long as they understand the potential outcome they can make their own, informed decision. Or they can even choose to live in ignorance if they wish. The local hand wash place isn't really any different to a dealer washing a car as part of ANY work they do, yet the majority of people would s**t a brick if a dealer didn't throw in a complementary scratch and shine.

The product as a whole has been going down hill for a while now. It's clearly evident that Vince has run out of ideas but wont let go of the reigns, the writers are woeful at best these days and there never seems to be any commitment towards doing anything "new" for long, so it always reverts to type sooner or later (and usually sooner!). NXT is very different to the main product because Paul Levesque (Triple H) runs that and it's the much better show for it.

Quick Keyser, you can actually tell Ed he missed a bit in that last photo.

Full hazmat suit donned for this bit.
