  1. But only then the nose is slightly up Or your leg is hanging out or your fingers are in there wiping the door shuts
  2. Rouge has a little more cut to it than Cerium, the video was more a demo of the technique as its the same process.
  3. Jewelers Rouge: http://www.ebay.co.u...07291931&crdt=0 Use it with water and a high speed drill (not cordless too slow) you will need a buffing wheel like this: http://www.ebay.co.u...3YAAOSwmLlYBw2T Mask the side of your car and surrounding panels, plastics etc, it gets everywhere. Go easy at it, and work a bigger area than the scratch. This will cut into the glass and cause a ripple if you focus too small. You can take more off but ya can't put it back Here's a demo: EDIT: Noticed you have a Roadster, do not get the Rouge on the roof skin ! It will wash off paint but not fabrics or plastics.
  4. I'd just leave the guy be now, we can only hope potential buyers do some research and wind up here before they splurge any cash on it. Sad state to see an ex forum car subjected to such punishment, this is the reason I never try to keep tracks of a car once i've let it go, things like this happen and it's a shame but there is nothing we can do.
  5. Everything is more fun with fire Disclaimer: The above statement may not be true, I accept no responsibility for loss of life, limb, belongings or any subsequent arrests.
  6. That would be the hydrochloric acid He did say at the end do not use on chrome, may have been better to mention that along with the small mention of the acid near the 2:20 mark. Also, probably best not to use it on the Plenum
  7. For minimum effort that is a pretty good result, hit that with a buffer and some metal polish then seal it. Would look like new.
  8. Im just not a fan of automated cars, never have been and doubt I ever will. The only way they can ever work is if every other vehicle on the road is automated and they interact. Life will be bloody dull the day it happens, just hope im not around to see it.
  9. Do these even help reduce the oil consumption ? Heard so many conflicting views on if the work, if you just fit on the pcv side or run to both. I'll follow with interest
  10. Yeah lovely place, has Europe's biggest roundabout too......

    Not sure about the white kit they fitted in the last pics
  12. Im in a Gunmetal Roadster in Hindley Green. Im often in Leigh and daily through Westhoughton. Spotted a Black 350 a few times did give a thumbs up last time,not sure if it was any of you guys ? I was waiting to turn right towards Sainsburys. Think I may have seen you too Easty on Atherleigh way a few months back ? I was heading towards the Asda.
  13. In the UK you have 6 years https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/complain-about-a-service/
  14. Just to add, it is probably knackered now. It was in Skelmersdale, well known up here for being rough as sandpaper, it will have been thrashed non stop by a drug dealing smackhead. The current ad also says Preston, the pics are still in Skem, I can tell with the road its parked on He has probably signed it over to a mate to sell on to avoid the questions on ebay etc Sorry to say Payco, your baby has probably passed her prime.
  15. Who fitted it ? If you can get a industry leader in body glass (Autoglass etc) to confirm the refit was sub standard then you have grounds for a claim. If it was Autoglass who did it, don't say anything until they have inspected it. They should be able to tell if the correct procedure was adhered to. I used to work for the RAC doing glass, so skipping all the pre removal/install check bits. Once the glass is out and the bond has been cut back, if there are any areas where bare metal shows it MUST be etch primed, then primed with the pre bond primer. Skipping either of those and you neck was on the line. If they didn't prime correctly it will rust and the bond fails. If there was an issue after you did the work and it was proven you didn't follow the process you were liable for damages if it went to court. Most are settled before it gets there (I never had one btw) I'd say it's certainly worth looking into if it saves you the best part of £2000 in repairs.
  16. By the sounds of it they have been cutting corners mate, i'd approach them to pay for the damage. It will only get worse and will crack the glass soon. Sounds like they have gone through the paint when removing the old screen and not followed the industry guidelines when re-fitting. You potentially have a claim on legal grounds too, the bonded screen is crucial in design for structure and for directing the passenger airbag. The mistakes 'could' cause death. 100% worth fixing
  17. Has it had a windscreen fitted in the last couple of years by any chance ?
  18. Well I was quoted £269 at Nissan dealer for - Diff oil replace - Engine oil replace - Oil filter replace - Coolant replace - Brake fluid replace - Spark plug replace- Plugs at extra charge - Gearbox oil replace - Air filter replace So id say your price is very cheap
  19. Will give this a whirl on the mrs's Ka (daily beater )
  20. I knew Z's were quite big and heavy, but they make that Tank look small
  21. You could always ask you paint supplier for a Satin finish top coat/lacquer. Most will be able to mix one and can it for you. It will make it a little more durable too.
  22. Very nice, hope there aren't too many corners or roundabouts near where you live
  23. Anything like this fit the Roadster ?
  24. Probably pre sold to one of those Kardashian creatures across the pond....
