Yep, I've got the Flexipad one and use it for exhausts mostly. The Mothers ones are ridiculously expensive!

Nope, but get yourself some Valet Pro Enzyme Odour Eater. Spray around the interior and no more smell.

Nah, you're all being ripped off. Detailing doesn't require any specialist skills or anything, it's just washing a car. It shouldn't cost more than £7.50, and it can be done whilst you do your weekly shop... Depending on the work being done (for ceramic or glass coatings I'd expect, at the very least, a single stage correction) then £400-600 sounds reasonable.

I hate you sometimes. He means the nozzle. I think.

Can you sort out the windscreen washer nozzles whilst you're there, please? They're bugging me!

Car Chem Revolt would be my recommendation.

That's not strictly true. He woukd (and has) gladly reduced his bank balance just to get those around to him to bend to his will.

Prep work, followed by more prep work then a coating (Gyeon, naturally). Glossier than a particularly glossy thing during the national gloss convention held in Glossville, Glosstown.

Depends what you're trying to achieve

See!!! Not working! I'm just imagining you cuddling a little pug under one arm as you typed it He's more of a Chihuahua in a purse kinda girl really. More for the purse than the rodent though...

Oh no, I agree the execution will be a mess and grid positions would be determined by who can cry the loudest. It has no place on track at all. I still like the concept though.

Bernie doesn't want it; it won't happen at all. Expect it to be "pushed back" until the following season before being dropped altogether. Shame really, I kinda liked the concept.

This. A billionty times this!! I would find time to throw some decon at it, then a decent paint cleaner such as AF Rejuvenate before the Blackhole (or AF Ultra Glaze) and R222 for much awesomeness.

Pretty much, except wax won't fill anything as such. A glaze will do that though. Essentially wax and sealants protect. Polish uses abrasives to level out the surrounding peaks. Glaze uses fillers to level out the troughs. Polish is permanent, glaze is temporary.

Agreed, much better (I only nearly fell asleep looking at the second picture... ). Needs a clean though

I have, it's a decent enough product. It wouldn't make it on to my essentials list though as I don't think it's any better that FK1000P. A number of the Hellshine products are actually quite good, I'd just advise seeking more independent reviews than ABD's controlled media for more realistic expectations. If you only want maximum shine for that one day, you want to either polish or glaze the car to within an inch of its life to obtain that. The sealant/wax wont make a big a difference as the prep work will.

I would just point out that AutoBrite are very selective about what goes up on their Facebook page.

Abyss is good but you'll never see 12 months out of it - take everything ABD tell you with an entire mine of salt (especially anything around delviery...). It's a synthetic sealant so it'd be used either instead of or before wax.

You'll need a fall out remover - Car Chem Revolt or Bilt Hamber Korrosol/Auto-Wheel will make relatively light work of that.

They don't need to prove anything broke the engine at all if you've broken the terms of the contract. That bit will hold up in court.

Give us just one more chorus...

Welcome to the Internet...

2 points; DBA rotors, not DNA. You'd be better off performing the window reset procedure than explaining it in the ad. It's not difficult to do and it means you can remove that fault from the ad entirely. As a potential buyer my first thought is always "if it's so cheap/easy to fix, why hasn't it been fixed?". Other than that it's a pretty thorough ad. GLWTS

As opposed to 4pm in the morning? [/grumble]. Minor pet hate aside, not a bad effort at all.

Cradle to grave "footprint" is exponentially higher for EV's. But Joe Public doesn't really about their carbon footprint. EV's are considered cheaper to run (whether they are or not is actually still quite debatable, but they are seen as so by the general public). The fact they can can claim that their own personal carbon footprint (which is, at best, what any one individual actually considers) is reduced as a result is merely a justification for saving that £80 periodically, not the (pardon the pun) driving factor. Or, to putit another way; marketing - buy & run an EV, you, personally, are causing less emissions (just don't consider the bigger picture, please!).
