I know, I go to a lot of effort to hide my disappointment in them....

It's probably fair to say that I'm not their biggest fan.

FTFY.

In that case, diluted spray sealants like GTechniq C2v3, Gyeon Cure, CarPro Reload or even the sealant marketed ad a detailer in Sonax BSD will all be infinitely better than Project 32. GTechniq now even sell C2v3 pre-diluted as a QD (in case you like paying for water...). That said, personally I find it hard to look past Gyeon Wetcoat or CarPro HydrO2 for touchless top ups - why spend the time and effort applying then buffing a product when you can literally spray on, rinse off and go?! Or better still Gyeon Bathe+, which adds protection whilst you're washing. These both have the advantage that they're not fussy about what they bond too (unlike the aforementioned spray sealants), they'll last a damn sight longer than a QD and they both add noticeable gloss with absolute minimal effort and risk of marring.

Oh, and I'll have you using some proper products in no time to replace all those AutoBrite travesties that you've been using

Top up or lay down protection? A decent base largely negates the need to top up. That said if you do like to top up regularly it'll depend on what the base is as to what will work best. Also, preference on spray, paste or liquid sealant? Budget? What's yiur priority when it comes to LSP? What's your ultimate aim, looks or durability? I've git a thread on here with a lot of head to head comparisons between a number of sealants, many of which can be used as a top up product too, so check that out if you've got some spare time.

Or try a product that works instead...

In the UK, it's much more likely that private companies will invest in building any infrastructure over the government doing it. This will do nothing but drive up the costs of running an EV - those companies will want to make a profit after all and then the government will want their slice of the pie on top - almost instantly negating one of the main "benefits" of EV's.

Unless B is 316 miles away from A...

Not if you've got the right size tyre on. More wheel, less tyre, same rolling radius.

There's plenty of free information available, DW will give you so much more information and the likelihood is that it won't be biased towards whoever bought column inches this month either... So long as you overlook the fanboyism

If only you'd show that from time to time...

Weak APC, a detailing brush (PB's boar hair brushes are perfect) and a cloth to wipe down afterwards, job jobbed. If you want them shiny then any cheap, nasty interior dressing will do that as they'll be stuffed full of silicon. Auto Glym is readily available and rubbish enough to be shiny... by the way, I'm not a fan of the shiny finish, can you tell?

And more resistance (not to mention the additional weight) hence more energy required to obtain the same outcome. Same energy = slower. Physics.

A bit of oil, pinch of salt, high heat for 3 minutes each side...

This. At best he doesn't really want to sell at worst he's just trying his luck before lowering the price for a "reasonable" offer.

If you intend to lie, why bother with insurance at all? Either your insurance isn't worth anything if/when you claim.

I don't know about that but if you look on yout be there's a video of some illegal red neo tints some guy tried.

Yep, that's lacquer failure. A refurb is on the cards for you I'm afraid.

When you do fit the new glass, give the window mechanism a quick clean. The scratches are caused by the dirt on the window getting trapped on the brushes, so be sure to give them a clean otherwise you'll have the same problem again in future.

Cutting compound won't do anything to glass beyond getting it quite clean. You'll need cerium oxide and rayon pads with a machine polisher to make any impact. As Ricey alluded to, replace the glass or live with it. It's not worth the time, effort or expense of trying to fix.

Get Bathe+ from Polished Bliss. Free delivery on all orders. Never heard of Tac Systems, I'll do some digging and see what I can uncover.

Surely you could just use tip-ex, no?

IIRC they don't do discount codes because they do rewards points per purchase instead.

Always a great feeling when you can see the results of your efforts. That'll depend on budget and what you're after. Poorboys Natty's Paste Wax (blue) is cheap as chips, easy to use and smells great. On the other hand with a white car I'd be looking more at sealants (well, coatings personally, but sealants are much easier to use). FinishKare 1000P is pretty damn good, even better when topped with FK pink wax too, on white. That said, this is AM Details AM Seal on flat white; Comapred to a coating on the same car (albeit in slightly worse lighting)
