Just out of interest, how much fuel did you have in the tank? IIRC, the 80 litre difference between full and empty adds just under 60kgs on it's own.

It's just a visual inspection - does there appear to be a cat present? Check. Move on.

No. IIRC the sizes are; Brembo, front - 120mm x 74mm & rear - 76mm x 65mm Non Bremo, front - 137mm x 53mm & rear - 105mm x 35mm. So not even close.

There's a selection of Nanolex products aimed at matte vinyl too; http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/nanolex-matte-paint-and-alloy-sealant-cat12.html#aMasterNMPA0000

I think there might be one or two pictures in this thread.

They're not quite the same thing though, one's an all-in-one glaze/polish/sealant, the other is just a glaze.

I've just ordered the next one, they're selling extremely quickly again this month - according to the counter more than half have sold already, in just 8 hours!

(back), I believe that may have been me.

Are you the same J4cko of Scoobynet fame?

Agreed, another good box - good to see Gyeon getting in on the act too. No prizes for me this time though.

When cornering too enthusiastically, you enter the corner facing one way and exit facing the opposite direction; 'reversing' is the technical term for that last bit, which was entirely intentional...

Megs will give a more matte finish if you buff them about 10 minutes after application.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Megs Endurance yet. Although I quite like the Eco Touch Tyre Shine too, but I'm not sure on the durability of this yet.

If you're used to a liquid wax (the Tech Wax), I'd recommend looking at Dodo Juice waxes or Poorboys Natty's Paste waxes as they're ridiculously easy to use And won't break the bank if you find you don't get on with them.

That.

Those wheels. Those doors. Those rear lights. That... thing on the boot! Oh and, No head unit though...

No, no, no. You just need to get another car to use all the other products on. Polished Bliss do a number of Nanolex products (with price match and free delivery too), which I've only tried a couple of and liked but PB have always been spot on with their assessment of products, so if it's good enough for them...

Already ordered mine again, and for my trouble I was sent this (on the right); That should last me a while.

Werkstat Acrylic kit - easiest thing in the world to use, brilliant results, especially when layered, with good durability and highly recommended by pretty much anyone who's used it (just take a look on Detailing World). The only downside is it works best as the full system (here) rather than just an LSP. I've used this on my previous car (silver) and on a family member's current car (white) and I really can't recommend it enough.

Nothing, just poking fun buddy.

I'm going to hazard a guess that there was a radio tower nearby to where you parked which interfered with the signal from your key. It's fairly common. Oh, and in typical WhackyWill fashion, have a random too.

Synthetic sealants tend to sheet water more whereas natural carnauba waxes will bead more, however with different water behaviour you'll also get a different finish. If you're worried about water spots when cleaning, your options are pretty much to dry after washing (either with a towel/cloth, blower or whatever) or to use a water filter - I use the Aquagleam which works well to counter the hard water around here - or the other option is to not wash the car of course... If you're concerned about water sports from rain, due to the nature of rain it's almost impossible to prevent beading (and therefore spots) regardless of the LSP. You could either dry the car after it rains or re-wet with an open-ended hose (using low pressure) to encourage more sheeting. Or just live with it until it's time to wash again.

Bilt Hamber is, in my opinion, one of the best - and has the added bonus of only needing water as a lube.

Maximum discount is given at 5 years NCB (barring the very odd exception). Anything over that is basically ignored by insurance companies.
