Interesting as the idea is, I'd resist the urge to top up your washer fluid with wax. If you want good run off from your glass, there's RainX at the budget end. Some people hate it but I found it did it's job so long as you keep the glass clean and top it up. Make sure the glass is properly clean first (maybe pick up some specific glass cleaner) and you have a number of microfibre towels handy as it can be a pain to buff off and you don't want streaks. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/221300324152?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=t&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108 At the other end of the spectrum there's better, longer term products like g techniq. Which are a different league in quality but take some time and effort to apply correctly - the biggest rule being less is more http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/gtechniq/clearvision-screen-kit.aspx Whilst you're at it. If you want the paint to have nice water run off, with minimal effort, the easiest product I've found for this is EcoTouch Quick Wax. It's cheap and a doddle to use. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Eco-Touch-Quick-Wax-500ml/dp/B00705RQRI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1402239175&sr=8-2&keywords=eco+touch+quick+wax With detailing stuff, everyone has their own favourites, people will recommend loads of expensive and inexpensive products. Generally speaking, none of them are "right" or "wrong" just what you prefer. There are some rules that are definitive, two buckets being one of them. Also never put anything on the paint that's touched your wheels (cloths, towels, mitts, etc). Lastley, welcome to the party!

I've got a bit of a boner for sonax products at the mintue, the BSD and wheel cleaner are current favs. Good to see another one of thier products getting a run out. I'll add this to my things to try list, thanks for sharing. Looks well after the rain. Anything that can cope with the sand/dust that gets in the rain round here is a god send.

I know you used this a couple of pages back, Glacier Wax Pure 001 shampoo, and noted the outrageous price. Well today I got round to using my waxybox sample and I REALLY like this shampoo, the persistance of the suds and level of lubrication just pushed this onto my A-Rated list (we'll see how my wallet fells about it long term ) Went to order some and found they're bundling up with a couple of other products at £25 http://www.glacierwax.co.uk/car-care/wash/pure-001-500-ml-car-shampoo-2/

All this moaning about evolution of language, but at the end of the day... ...it gets dark.

I recently bought one of these to replace two cheapo HP (half the price and half as good) printers which died. http://www.printerland.co.uk/Canon-Pixma-MG7150-P132832.aspx Does AirPrint, can plug into Ethernet to network printing, edge to edge printing for photos, quality is good and print speed is too, piano black finish is sexy Negatives, it's a noisey little thing. Takes a while to warm up from cold (best to leave it on if you print a lot). Best domestic printer I've owned, and I've owned over three

Tremendous work on this, kudos for doing all the hard bits yourself. Skillz.

Because it's the land of the rising sun? Can someone please report that joke to the authorities.

I like a Russian handjob as much as the next guy, but not on the paint.

"So" is the new "basically".

Why is the sun strip at the bottom of the windscreen?

Thanks to some "helpful" comments from fellow members , combined with a weather break, I got round to cleaning up the headlights. Properly this time, remembering to seal them after Used the same menzerna power finish (203S) as last time, but a better Lake Pad and a Flexipad backing plate. Worked much better than the previous combo and soon cut into the lights There's a few persistent marks that I daren't lean any harder on, but I couldn't even photograph them, so they can't be that bad. Well pleased with the refresh

Is there a preferred aspect ratio?

Some fairly lazy stereotypes there and made me chortle as expected

If there's little or no annual fee, I'd keep them. It's handy to have buying power at your fingertips and if you use them and clear them regularly then you've got another A paid account against you

Yes, with tapatalk "technology". It's a poor man's ceefax How is linking all your forums together in a stream ceefax related Fair enough if you don't like it but you can't say it is rubbish because it isn't, it works very well apart from a couple of hiccups when updates were released, but I am a beta tester now so only myself to blame There are other forums?

Never trust an email that doesn't offer to give you extra inches, extra stiffness or a bored housewife 3.8 miles from your location.

Tapatalk blows, switch to normal or just hit "clear history and website data" in Safari settings and when you log back in, cancel away the stupid tapatalk pop-up and just use Safari on iPad, it works a treat. It should only ask you once. As for photobucket, the apps suck browser FTW.

along. Never had a lady stand by the Zed and not remark on how beautiful they are. Much to the disgust of thier Porsche driving other halfs

Took this as I left work on Friday, it's the sonax BSD bead after I used it as part of the drying phase last weekend, making it much easier to work with but seemingly not impacting the bead at all even with a week's muck on there. I think this is how I'll use it in future. These are proper beads as well, from rain, none of the ilogikal1 staged beads

I don't think they do. I aksed my one about this, they take responsbility at all for missing stuff or if things go pear shaped after purchase.

What Doogy said. I had an AA inspection on mine when I bought it, got a nice report back and had a straightforward chat with the bloke. They only inspect visually and go for a drive, they don't start taking bits off and prodding it around. The guy was friendly and helpful and I even managed to get the dealer to do some jobs he suggested, which I hadn't noticed (due to being massively over excited ). It wasn't cheap to get it and since then I have met people who I trust to do the same thing, but at the time it gave me a bit more peace of mind. An experienced Zed fiend will know exactly what to look for, but an inspection guy may only have ever seen one or two 350s up close before.

That's right it's on you tube I bet. Is that the one where he also complains about the bass from the sub thumping him in the back? It's another problem with the Zed that Clarkson nailed straight away. I had to replace my sub due to the massively over the top spinal bass pain it was causing me every day.

Who bothers with the odd numbered gears? 2,4,6 is the future.

My clutch and DMF arrived with my tech a while back, but just got fitted today. Very pleased (not just with sending me what I paid for! ) but also some help and advice when I was deciding whether to go OEM or something more exotic. So pleased in fact that I went and ordered some more stuff today after an MOT advisory. Haribo were a nice sweetener too Thanks.
