  1. I'm totally at a lost what element of fairy liquid will be able to sit comfortably on top of a wax and remains after washing. Polish and waxes contains oils, weather I have food on my hands are grease, oil or been gardening or any kind of general grime I reach for the FL and not IPA. "wash of wax with plain water?" not sure what to do with that tbh. Ultimately if you are speaking from experience that's all well and fair for actually using FL or can present evidence, I'm speaking from experience and I've not known a different when washing up and finally rinsing with cold or hot water. Using a warm bucket of suds with a good ratio of FL goes a long way to removing any old polish and wax, the paintwork doesn't bead at all however does sheet water slowly. I could be completely wrong and now I have a layer of polish, wax, fairy liquid, polish and now wax again. I know one thing, I'm set for the winter in that case.
  2. It's also breaks down grease and grime from old food and drink, it won't be leaving much on our washed and rinsed plates if anything as plates are designed to be eaten off. How do surfactants clean... by breaking down what they come into contact with allowing media to the rinsed away. Thanks for playing? Please troll another build thread if immaturity is your sketch.
  3. Some seriously tasty stuff there for sure, hopefully you got to hear plenty too.
  4. and yet...
  5. Literally done this for years and never ran into any issues, plus my hands felt so soft.
  6. Joys of being old ay
  7. All cleaned and protected for winter. Single stage machine polish and wax, rubbers and glass sealant applied. Could really tell the difference after the wash as the paintwork was bare and perfect for prep. Bilt Hamber Autofoam 10.1 pre wash Rinse APC 10.1 badges, door handles and window seals then rinse. Two bucket wash *in a fashion Fairy liquid as car shampoo to breakdown all previous polishes and waxes. MF drying towel Single stage machine polish, Auto Finesse Triple with Menzera finishing pad. Autoglym Ultra HD wax Autobrite Project32 as last touch Gtechniq C4 for window rubbers, grille, front splitter & door mirrors base. Gtechniq glass sealant Autoglym Rubber Plus for tyre dressing
  8. Great interview Neil, very interesting - enjoyed that.
  9. Just awful, Godless folks
  10. Doubt il be needing to undo anything near 400nm of torque tbf. Just now tried it on a couple of wheel nuts recently torque up to 105nm and they were no bother.
  11. Year of the Supra!! Mega pictures Adrian.
  12. Pretty sure the entire Z community echo's this, as for the money there's tones of other quicker cars you can buy, but we choose the characterful Z
  13. Showing the love and spring with soon be here.
  14. Could have done with this for my bi annual wheel and spacer swap over but I have it now and can't wait to blitz some bits.
  15. Horrendous mate, so pleased you ok. How did this happen?
  16. The interior is a massive step forward, exterior looks of course follow the brand's new look. Lots of lovely soft touch plastics, leather and alcantra and 225/45 R19 tyres on a 1ltr 3cylinder Juke wow. Nissan bought one into work today for the techs to have a nose round. Feel and quality reminds my very much of a Q30 executive model, felt very solid. The sensation from Bose speakers in the headrest is very cool and I'd imagine handy for Bluetooth calls. To see a fuel rail and coil packs on the same engine was very odd also.
  17. Sounds like the classic case of RWYB Going to be a very special Christmas for sure.
  18. Very special indeed Sounds insane mated to stock y pipe and cats......
  19. I'd very much like to see that dash cam footage if available, love the Welsh A/B roads.
  20. Also quicker around the ol TG test track than a e46 M3......
  21. Experience from my colourful past is that any car that does 0-60mph in mid 6 seconds can race a car that does it in mid 5's. Mid 7's with mid 6' sec, mid 5's with mid 4's for example. Doesn't mean the slower car is ever going to win, but reaction times can bring the slower car into play however the outcome will always be the same.
  22. Left hooker but looks great!!!!
  23. Ohhhh the excitement builds!!!! Love it chap let the dream build continue.
  24. Ask any racer, any real racer.......
  25. Silverstone on Saturday, means Snowfoam on Sunday
