  1. To be fair, I thought the same about the 452's; I never had a problem with them and thought they were more than adequate. I recently needed some new front tyres and would have gone for 452's again had they not been discontinued, however when I failed to find any in the right size I opted for MPSS and they are noticeably soooooo much better (just don't tell Ekona I'm running mixed tyres, albeit temporarily ) . That's not to say the 452's are now $hite in my opinion, but I'm certainly converted to the MPSS from now on.
  2. Assuming you mean Hot Rims then Halfrauds have a 3 for 2 offer on presently.
  3. Yes, yes there is; clicky. The DAS-6 is what I've got (along with this complete kit) which, I find, is ideal for the paint on the Zed. I'm not aware of one cheaper than that unless you're buying second hand or through a group buy somewhere though.

    A MILLION

    I've referred to Adrian Chiles as a **** at least a million times. In the last week.
  5. Dodo Juice also do the "Buff Daddy" which is a DA - Tim sells them at just under £100 normally and does offer a forum discount; http://www.envyvaleting.co.uk/products_info.asp?id=267 For the soft Nissan paint, a DA will be sufficient to get a very high level of correction.
  6. I was going to say that may have been me ordering the next one, but... So I'll just blame Ekona instead.
  7. Cheers Rob, that's mine ordered for another month.
  8. Rob is speaking to Waxybox about future discounts; I'll be ordering another one.
  9. I've had a quick nose about the interweb and can't find anything, anywhere, about how to back order, just that you "can". If you really wanted this month's, the only thing I can suggest is to use the 'Contact Us' bit on the website and ask them.
  10. I've just tried a few of this month's offering on my mum's Leon; the Pain Glass Cleaner is very good, the Slick Mist is okay but found it a bit grabby at first but eventually got to grips with it - much preferred the Angel Wax QED though. I also tried the Mint Wheels which I quite liked but the wheels have about an inch worth of Poorboys Wheels Sealant on them from last time I did her car so they weren't particularly dirty after a quick rinse.
  11. No, if you order now you'll get next months. You can "back order" according the FAQ on their website, but I can't see anywhere to do this on the website (I may have missed it though) so you may have to contact them directly to do that - it'll be sent out within 24 hours if you back order so you won't need to wait until the end of April for it.
  12. +1 for 303. Which reminds me, I need some more.
  13. I'm initially impressed, especially for the price. And just in time for the long weekend too, so I'll be trying most (if not all) of it out in the next few days. Cheers for bringing this to my attention.
  14. If only this hadn't been covered eleventy million times recently. Summary; the engine's good for 200,000 miles if maintained well. Buy on condition not on mileage. Thread done.
  15. As an LSP, not really - it's like any wash & wax in one and ends up really streaky. However it does make a great drying aid and/or clay lube.
  16. And mine. Chemical Guys Grime Reaper, Lucas Oil Slick Mist, Juicy Details Mint Wheels, AutoBrite Hellshine Pain Glass Cleaner, Waxybox Clay & Lube, Smartwax Rimwax, Carnauba Wax #006, glass cloth, air freshener and a Creme Egg.
  17. I did have a quick poke around the site, but I don't really use Megs products any more.
  18. According to their Facebook updates, they only had limited numbers of the Angel Wax QED which ran out the same day they announced it, so if you ordered after the 7th March you were too slow for that. Don't know about the Eco Touch Dashboard Protect though.
  19. Yes. The chances are that if you're using reasonable sized/weight spacers (or wheels), any detrimental effects will be negligible.
  20. Bearings, hubs and potentially the axle too depending on the size of the spacers. More likely to cause premature/accelerated wear rather than cause outright damage unless you're adding ridiculous size spacers. As for the handling, you're adding unsprung weight, so they will affect handling... it might not necessarily be a noticeable difference, of course.
  21. Ah two examples. That's ALL the JDM's in the world, after all...
  22. It depends on what you're after really. If durability is the main priority you'll want to look at the nano-sealants (Nanolex, GTechniq, Wolf's, 22PLE, etc) which can last up to a year between applications, but they tend to be considerably more expensive as a result. If cost is an issue Poorboys Wheel Sealant is very cost effective but will only last two or three months between applications. As with paintwork, you'll get much better results (both looks and durability of the LSP) if you clay, decontaminate and cleanse/polish the wheels before applying any coating. I don't mind re-sealing my wheels every few months so I use Poorboys, which I've found to be the best wheel wax of the numerous that I've tried - I've not tried any of the nano-sealants though.
  23. "Just drive this car into that wall, Kev, and tell me if the airbag explodes in your face will you, it's for the MOT".
  24. One of these would do me I think. Fills both the Nissan lump and the V8 requirements.
