  1. I think that video broke my gag reflex.
  2. If they're only tiny swirls a pro detailer with a rotary should be able to shift, no? Cheaper than a respray by a few quid. As for goodies, it's a hugely personal thing but I currently like: Car Wash: Meguiars Hyperwash Cleanser/Polish: the three stage system Dan mentioned is solid, I just used mine up and looking to try something new (purely for experiments sake). I also read a good review on here about the Farecla system too, but not tried yet. Wax/Sealant: I'm getting all worked up with Poorboys Liquid Natty's Blue right now And anything in between: a glaze possibly, might hide some of those lighter issues you mentioned. I like Poorboys White Diamond but for your black I'd assume their Black Hole glaze is more appropriate. A quick detailer too wouldn't hurt. I've also had a tip on chemical guys stuff too, but yet to try them. There's loads out there without spending a fortune, just read the instructions before you start rubbing away and probably add a clay bar to your shopping list If you don't have one, and some lube. Have fun and if in doubt, ask first also, watch some videos too, this guy rules: http://www.ammonyc.com/videos/ Check out the top 10 detailing mistakes one first!

    Brembo pads

    Check out: http://clarkmotorsport.net I'm sure you'll find them. I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure when my tech fitted the shims on my ferrodos they just stuck on the pad, may well be the same for Brembos. I'm sure someone more knowledgable will be along to confirm. Try Tarmac and Cougar Store for other pad options too, all three are fine traders on here.
  4. Must be the fan pulley, that's a kind of wheel right
  5. Thanks Daryl. That came along after I got the V1, not that I'm unhappy with the V1, I love the front end now. Well, I will if I get round to a bulge bonnet The Mine's is ace though, stop looking and go for it mate!
  6. No, I was after a Mine's but couldn't face the price. It's a V1 from Tarmac Sportz.
  7. I'd take those blue two tones on my GM, don't care if I don't have Azure!
  8. They look but that open container of sticky liquid INSIDE THE ZED gives me the fear
  9. and nice Zed.
  10. For my GM I'd like black bolsters and ice white centres. Along the lines of May I also have the doors and dash and centre consol trimmed off in white learher too?
  11. I was totally not convinced when you mentioned cream wheels on here, but it really, really works. Big nutz doing it, looks cool as. Can the licence plate please be in the middle though? Non symmetrical things just make my brain ache
  12. I like my pioneer avh-x2500bt, it's decent if not incredible. Just be mindful of the audio out requirements for the Bose amp, if you're not changing that out too.
  13. It's on The List for when my rainex runs out.
  14. Cheers GM. I know what you mean about the list. I started a folder of bookmarks to try and keep organised for every nice detail job I see on here, I've got over 50 things to work through now (having tried and discarded some) but it's growing faster than I can test them!
  15. Ooooh, not tried that yet, got about 4 litres of Meg's hyper wash to get through first. I'll add it to the list!
  16. Since I Zedded up in Feb the detailing side of things has really fascinated me. Previously I'd been a pressure-wash-once-a-quarter bloke, but in the last 10 months I've purchased an array of products that have been recommended on here and also messed around with Waxybox samples too. Anyway, I've got a little routine going (subject to weather); a weekly TBW, a two-month big wash (everything except clay) and then a bi-annual big wash with claying. On my last two-monthly big wash in October I switched to a selection of Poorboys products: Poorboys White Diamond Show Glaze Poorboys Liquid Natty's Blue Poorboys Quick Detailer prefaced with some Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite, no clay, all stages by hand. Since I switched to this combo I've been amazed at how well it stands up to daily life, and looks almost spotless even after just a lazy snow foaming and pressure wash. With the weather being rubbish the last 6 weeks I've not been keeping up my schedule, combined with a few thousand work miles, and she's been getting absolutely filthy. Today I got around to a TBW after a couple of weeks missed and she's come up spotless again, after two whole months! I'm hugely pleased with the Poorboys products so far and wanted to spread the love. They're well priced, easy to work with (if I can use them anyone can) and have great staying power - I may never change! I know these pics are phone rubbish (I didn't even intend to take any today) but I was so pleased with what only 45 mins effort produced, I couldn't resist!
  17. This place is the best, great scenes
  18. Fiat Panda 4wd or a Citroen 2CV. Classics.
  19. The Double Wood is the nuts G Man, however, tonight I'm going Japanese Whisky, "For relaxing times, make it Suntory time." Just don't fall asleep on the sofa with babestation on and your pants unzipped
  20. Happens to us all. Back on topic, interesting project.
  21. Dr. Evil are you on about using the URL for the image instead of the IMG link, so photos look like this http://s1364.photobucket.com/user/andybpowell/media/IMAG0017_zps4c51e9ee.jpg.html?sort=3&o=5 instead of this ?
  22. Mental. Not sure about straight on, but turning right makes total sense, it's like cars turning right on red in California. America's single greatest contribution to the world, after amazeballz.
  23. Looks sweet as. Black is top in that condition.
  24. along and get us some snaps!
  25. It's probably time you sat down with her and watched Goodfellas
