Said it moons ago, Autoglym and Turtlewax have R&D budget some enthusiast brands could only dream off. Could overnight choose to pump millions into a new product line, producing great items and in recent years it would appear this has took place. I've had Gtechniq products and while ok, definitely wouldn't buy again. You can't be a brand snob and be a Zed owner

Really don't even know

Tried it on the Sunny before the Zed and I'm chuffed with it so far, will be scrubbing out the Michelins ready for this the next time round. Some get on well with it, others don't in terms of durability. Again might be applying over a water based or silicon style dressing.

I don't care how good a tyre is, i wouldn't be happy to stand back and see that design on my car.

In sure do, get it on and get it off affair!!! Pretty much like any consumer wax or sealant I really don't believe there is a Best product. Alot of it is down to personal preference, or easy of purchase, style of application, product look once applied. Like I never got the whole 12 months sealant gig, I enjoy cleaning and protecting my car with a 4-6 months arguably better (subjective) warmer looking paste wax/sealant. Like tyre dressing, how often do we wash our cars?..... Hardly feels a hardship to then dress the tyres ever other wash to keep them topped up. Glass coatings, yeah go long. Wheel coatings, again yeah go long. The rest I enjoy attending too.

Very even finish which I understand aids with longevity, just like any coating. Yeah I'd imagine that if you ran a clean mf over the sidewalls a while application, you would change the look of needed. I've gone for Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner, which is a fallout remover too.

Amazing work pal, that lovely new pedal needs scuffing up

Not runny like a liquid, nor like a gel more like squeezable honey. Meguiar's i felt I needed to shake the bottle up more to help even out application, even though it was well shook.

Not much online about Autoglym's new offering - High Performance Tyre Gel *went to town on that name. But il judge product itself, not the name. Thought I'd give it ago and add it to my inventory. First impressions are it's very nice and easy to use, more of a syrup than a gel. Once applied to the tyre it levels out really well, normally I'd always have to revisit to level off however didn't feel the need at all. Went on evenly and without fuss, and even smells nice. It's sort of how I always wanted Meguiar's Endurance Tyre Gel to be, loosing it's sticky feel it would leave behind. I left them with a gloss look, as I like my tyres to look dressed rather than not. Wheels and tyres were cleaned the day before with Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner/ fallout remover and Bilt Hamber Autofoam 5.1 for the sidewalls. Next measure will be how well it holds up to semi daily use. Then to check if the product gives off that browning, commonly seen with gels. *the bottle far left is Autobrite Tyre Gloss

How else do folks get to work in the capital?....... Im sure those that can drive have done do, requiring parking once at work *rare. Ride, providing the distance is reasonable again with safe storage during the day. Walk, of course again if the distance is reasonable. Taxi option, will get expensive as the days/weeks go on. I understand bashing the problem, however not when the solution isnt forthcoming.

Stuck the battery on charge last night ready for the morning, out the door at 5:40am for a nice long drive - #bliss

Nice stoppers!!

^ have you looked at the back of your shirt?

Tempted to do this with my Ryobi leaf blower (rated to 245km/h) but by the time I've dragged the pressure washer out, I might as well get the mitts out

About right for circa 8,000 miles I'd say

Looking great still, are you open hose rinsing?

Nice one for the reply, looking forward to having a play hopefully soon.

Just received a Korean Twisted Microfiber drying towel and I'm eager to try it out, but the car's pretty clean. Has anyone got one as I'm interested if you found it more of a pat dry or place and drag towel? Also a general question regarding aftercare, do you tend to hand or machine wash? Air or tumble dry? as I'm keen to avoid it becoming a lint monster.

Proper roof down weather of late

Next day option (if ticked) I believe is available for order over £15, understandably no guarantees mind.

Yeah its pretty scary footage, we have a porch on the front so parcels are left there and everyone operates a no signature policy so items are left there and brought in soon after.

Finger in the air, I'd say coolant temperature sensor. If the ECU believes the engine to still be cold when it's actually warmed up, it'll over fuel causing the symptoms you describe.

Cheers pal, yeah for a daily she's very clean underneath thankfully. Totally not sure what affect an exhaust leak would have on drone, pretty sure you'd hear the leak even on idle to know what's what. I've read the same about it speeding up the corrosion of the metal. I've wrapped headers before and never had an issue as it's always been with good quality stainless or mild steel. My thinking for wrapping the de cats and y pipe was it looks BOSS!! keeps the heat out if the cabin, OE cats with their heat shields made the transmission tunnel fairly warm after a long journey. Performance, in theory keeping the exhaust gases hotter speeds up the flow and hotter gases should also help the HFC do it job also. Win, win, win win.

What did the exhaust sound like prior to fitting the HFC's? Ive had the Toyosport system paired with both OE cats and Motordyne ART pipes, with zero drone at any given rpm.
