  1. It depends what you want from it? Looks, durability, ease of use, budget, etc. It's an okay wax, but there are better things out there in my opinion. Colli (as already mentioned) or FK1000P will offer more durability, some sealants will offer more still (and then there's coatings!). Dodo Juice or Poorboys will be easier to apply but will need topping up/reapplying more often. Sealants will give better gloss, waxes will give more warmth and depth (as a generalisation).
  2. The price of petrol's really shot up recently...
  3. You say; I hear; So come on then, what's the plan for this one in terms of mods?
  4. Just the colour and the scent - blue one's bubblegum scented, the red one is strawberry scented. I wanted to try all the colour and scent combinations, but was told to use what I have first.
  5. Mine arrived a few days ago but been to busy to show off my unimaginative shampoo naming (or perhaps just inadvertent name pilfering) skills until now;
  6. Well if grease isn't a good idea, how about covering the face of the disc in super-glue before leaving the car to stand instead?
  7. Excellent, so I'll be able to borrow it for the day as a courtesy car then, right?
  8. I'm glad you took that 350, otherwise my next service with you would have been so much more expensive for me! Are you going to be hiding the new one away for winter, or might I actually get to see this one in the flesh when I come down?
  9. Unless they don't agree with me. Obviously.
  10. Yay, I contributed something useful for a change. Normal service will now be resumed.
  11. It's to reduce fuel vapour emissions (along with carbon canisters). Most vehicles now run the tank at a negative pressure stop fuel vapour venting to atmosphere since the regulations were changed in 1998 (ish... I think).
  12. A few more pictures here, Will http://public.fotki....ismo-z33-gt300/ Oh and you can actually buy it too... http://www.draganddrift.com/?q=node/31
  13. Chris Knott, Sky, Adrian Flux as mentioned, etc from the forum. Keith Michaels is worth a try too.
  14. Possibly a sticky calliper piston (on the right front), effectively applying the brakes to one corner?
  15. When you look in your shopping cart, it's on the left hand side opposite the checkout button. Check the "Use Coupon Code" and it'll then give you the option to enter the code. It's before you enter any payment details;
  16. Just in case anyone was thinking of this, there's currently a BOGOF offer on this (until 8.30am on Monday 9th), just add two to your cart and enter the code "CHEMXMAS" to get one of them for free. http://car-chem.com/store/car-care-exterior/Car-Wash-Shampoos/tailormade-by-carchem I've just ordered some and then realised, upon opening this thread to post this, that I've been even less imaginative with the name than even I first thought.

    Insurance

    Although I admire your dedication to commit insurance fraud over simply trying elsewhere.
  18. So which one am I then?
  19. The same thing you do with all the other boxes that the postman brings you; build yourself a fort. Depends on the neighbour but in my case, probably rinse the blood splatter off my stuff...
  20. Yep, applying FK as thinly as possible is the trick, once it's applied thinly it's very easy to remove almost regardless of how long you leave it. That said, even when it's over applied, it's still quite easy to remove once it's hazed fully but can be a bit uncooperative if you try to buff off too soon. It is great stuff though.
  21. ... On Saturday, I returned to my car (Azure 350Z) to find a much cleaner and much shinier '70 with a personalised plate had been parked up next to mine. Anyone on here?
  22. Yep, mine's done it a few times now. The light will invariably come on just as I pull onto my drive (rather than when I'm approaching the petrol station), it'll still be on next time I start the car (obviously) but 5 minutes of sensible driving later it decides it's found some more petrol in the tank, the light does out and the DTE goes up. Usually come back on again at some point though, unfortunately I occasionally have to put more petrol in to get the light to go out...
