  1. Ah I see. 

     

    So if I was to use the blackhole, dont bother with a sealant...  apply the wax instead. 

     

    I know a lot is down to personal preference, especially with silver. 

     

    Hell of a lot of differing options on the matter though... So many people suggested Fk1000p. 

  2. Thanks for replies. 

     

    Didn't realise the auto gylm stuff wasn't all that. 

     

    I know especially for silver cars, the finish comes down to the Prep but I jus want choose the right products and use them correctly.

     

    So from what I understand the Carlack 68 is pretty good for a cleanse prior to a Polish or glaze? 

     

    I would like to try the blackhole as I've heard lots of good things about it. So would you recommend a sealant after this step or carnauba wax like the Nattys blue I already have? 

  3. Hi, 

     

    So from researching am I right in thinking the following options are the way to go after washing and drying:

     

    Carlack NSC 68

    Poorboys blackhole

    FK1000p

    Or

    Carlack NSC 68

    AG SRP

    AG EGP

     

    I already have some Nattys blue wax at home but also heard good things about the Nattys white for lighter coloured cars. 

    Also read about ODK sterling wax and Bilt Hamber cleanse polish being great products too. 

  4. I psrsonally don't have a problem adjusting them...but when hooked up on a hunter rig, the geo guys struggle to get access to the camber bolts. Maybe I just don't have enough droop at front wheels.

     

    I've noticed your quite low also - How much pre-load you have and who set your geo up if you don't mind me asking?

  6. For me I can just jack the car up with the wheel on (just about touching the ground) and the clearance is fine for me to adjust the camber.

    I guess it depends on what kind of suspension you have on your car.

     

    Coilovers, quite Low, normal 5mm preload = no access.

     

    To be fair i did eyeball the arms pretty well when fitting them as they're currently both the same (ish) @ -3.5deg - i would just like a degree taking off

  7. So been for my alignement today...and I knew they would struggle with the front camber adjustment - couldn't get access to it with car lifted and with wheel at full droop.

     

    So is it a case of dropping shock and drop link/removing wheel to gain some clearance, then adjust, re-do the above and recheck figures and repeat the process until it's spot on?

     

    Caster was easy to adjust (although not much thread on the bolts to play with as mentioned already)

     

    I'll start a new topic to discuss other alignment "issues" (stupid eccentric toe bolt) but I'll keep this one of topic about DW arms

     

    Cheers.

     

  8. Anyone running one?

     

    Read a few reviews but none from the UK.

     

    After some feedback before I go looking for suppliers. Not interested in JWT or any other oiled filter.

     

    Cheers.
