  1. its madness how this keeps happening, hope you get it sorted mate
  2. why would aliens go to Scotland though? really needs an explination
  3. ok cheers, Ill have a think I havent actually heard one, and I do fancy a bit more roar on the revs
  4. does this make much of a difference to the sound? I already have a fully exhaust system, and using a K&N panel filter, but looking for sound more than a few extra BHP
  5. This. A billionty times this!! I would find time to throw some decon at it, then a decent paint cleaner such as AF Rejuvenate before the Blackhole (or AF Ultra Glaze) and R222 for much awesomeness. what decon do you speak of? or suggest?
  6. yes true, but actually the HD is a very good product, and value for money is good as I have used it countless times, and it still looks like I haven't touched the jar! If you look at reviews on 'cleanyourcar' you will see that many people rate it highly even against the detailing specific market.
  7. ok so a dam good going over with the polish, then Abyss, and finally HD wax. and possibly claying before the lot if I have time! Chilli red
  8. Ok great, yes I actually was looking up the difference between them, as I'm sure most people aren't actually sure. So just to confirm.. Wax - protects the paintwork with an extra layer, and filling in any tiny marks? Polish - uses fine abrasives to take a minute later to top coat off to even out the surface? Glaze - a polish without the abrasives?
  9. Point noted. Have you personally used the product? I don't want this to turn into a hate gathering, so will try and keep it on track with 'Abyss'
  10. Yes I read that just before posting, seems to do a nice job on there, and as I mentioned, the photos coming up on the autobrite facebook page are amazing What is the wax you use just out of curiosity? I am more than happy with my HD wax, and would struggle to see something do a better job, hense why I am so tempted with the Abyss!
  11. yes too be honest I don't mind the 12 month bit, as I only need it to last a day or two most importantly, but a couple of weeks in between the 'good washes' Ok thanks, so wash, dry, polish, abyss, wax? They do the Abyss in a sample pot for £9, but thats enough to do more than 2 cars, so even if it only lasts a couple of months, the sample pot will still last a while
  12. Im sure many of you have seen this product, and its ridiculous results on the autobrite facebook page. It is a paint sealant which lasts up to 12 months, and gives beautiful small water beads on a deep shine. I thought this product was too good to be true but after a lot of research, it seems correct, so I want me some! My question is: My usual routine after the wash and dry is a polish and a cover of Autoglym HD wax. To use the Abyss as well, would it work as well or instead of HD wax? The car is being used for our wedding in May and it needs to be 100% shiny on the day, so if this will help, its coming with us Cheers
  13. Woo another chilli zed! 😄 Wheels suit well
  14. Anyone? May end up at the skip
  15. I have been looking to that as well recently, but can only find US. Also speed hunters. The issue is that you basically get a stencil and you spray white through it, but it only lasts a few 1000 miles before looking tatty and needs redoing so no good for day to day cars
  16. Ok cheers, I'll look into that in the morning!
  17. Ok great sound like this could be it!... ...where is the sensor?!
  18. Ok well the alarm is still going off, very touchy at the front of the car if you go around pushing on the car, could it be to do with changing the bonnet recently?
  19. A lovely white 350z this morning, aftermarket bonnet, Nismo body kit and spoiler, passed just turning off for Cannock
  20. Cheers mate. Had to swap cars with dad for a few days, he's got an smax titanium x so a nice car, but God you don't half miss the zed! Picking her back up today, might get some balloons to celebrate lol
  21. Near perfect condition, not needed due to carbon bonnet.£70 collection only Llanymynech area.
  22. I guess its new age 'boy-racers' they mean - in financed fiestas etc? the old school type's cars couldnt reach 100 very easily lol. I understand the middle age men in luxury cars, Audis and BMW's always seem to be travelling quicker than anyone else. Infact my mate has recently bought an Audi. Hes only 30 but since getting it I have noticed he does drive alot quicker than he did in the golf, he came up behind me at about 70 in a 30 last night! (probably because he saw me though tbh) Thats another thing that annoys me about speed though, I have never been a fast driver, and people actually comment and judge saying 'well you should be going quick if you have a car like that'. But I dont see that owning a 350z means I have to break the law?
  23. the car is pretty much finished now, just a couple of scrapes which need a quick respray.
  24. too be honest thats what I was thinking. Did the OP not research the car before buying it? I would have thought the DE HR difference is an obvious one if you know what you are looking at buying? When I bought mine I had no experience with Zeds, but did enough research to know I wanted the lower tax band
  25. just popped a simple K&N panel filter in the OEM box, tempted with a cone, as my car isnt built for speed, so the sound outways the power loss
