  1. are you hoping the tree is in the way? if so i'd keep quiet
  2. nearly bought megs new ultimate liquid wax. the shiney bottle had me hooked put it back down and walked away with just the car shampoo any reccomendations for a machine applyable wax?
  3. good to know. currently use purple haze pro and blue velvet pro. and going round once is enough for me, too lazy to want to go round twice lol. looking for something to apply by machine, was wondering if PB nattys blue paste might do the job.
  4. my wife has the XC60, its a really well put togehter car, and nice to drive
  5. not me but the guys at megauirs said it. went to one of their detailing days. am intrgued though, only difference between soft and hard waxes is how they are stored as far as i'm aware. wax is wax? is it not? yes there are variations in ingredients, but is it not to do with the delivery of the wax dictates the consistency? i.e. those who want to put it on by hand and those who prefer a machine application? i'm no detailer, so interested to learn more. as far as i was aware you can;t layer wax, you can just go back over and make sure you did the job properly a 2nd time round i suppose. (completely top up the pores in the paint.) as paint is just like skin, it has pores, it breaths, dirt gets trapped in the pores etc hence the need for clay bars etc
  6. shame people have to jail break a phone to get it to do what you want; if its so good why does it need doing? does it just not turn it in to an apple shaped android phone?
  7. what were you caught by? camera van, plod with a gun? static unit? without being rude, most camera setups are all pretty noticeable, either with large luminous diagnols on or painted bright yellow. without being rude possibly need to look at being more observant when you drive. if it shows a 30 sign slow it down. its a pain in the backside i know, but most 30's are through residential areas so its there for a reason. or look at investing in some decent camera spotter gadgets. road angel or something, what ever is top on the market at the mo.
  8. one coats all you need. 2nd coat is just a waste. wax goes on and feels all the dimples in the paint. buffing just removes the excess that doesn;t go into the dimples. this is what makes it bead. putting a 2nd coat on just gets rubbed off with out any impact. it doesnt build up in layers like people think it does.
  9. have to say the zunsport is the grille of choice if i still had a zed, keeps the original grille intact if you ever choose to sell up. others require cuttig the old vent out. plus its decent quality woven stainless mesh and not cheap die cut ally chickin wire thats often sold on here as top notch. its like the difference between tesco and waitrose. both do the same job, but one gives off a much more upmarket feel.
  10. they've also lost street view as well, its a shame in someways that these companies have to compete with each other in the same markets. means apple have lost out on some of googles good software. my guess is you would still be able to get google nav or maps of some kind as an app on the iphone to get it back
  11. big fan of Dieter Rams, he's one of the designers i get my A level design group to research, sadly very few pick him, i give them a list of about 20 influential designers covering a range of era's and design styles. so far i've read 4 essays on starck and 2 on raymond loewry its not like i didn;t give them any choices
  12. well if your into your design you'll know that apples chief designer was a big dieter rams fan
  13. speak to ricey i think he's up that way and might know someone
  14. are those london scapes done on a long exposure?
  15. very cute
  16. firefox is my staple at the mo was on chrome but had issues, can;t remember what though and swapped back to FF
  17. i never knew why they called it internet explorer when it can;t even seem to find its own arse? let alone things on the internet
  18. i feel i should email work with this info, but i can;t be arsed running old xp with IE
  19. On my cross please write: Adrian Cherciu iDrone fixed it for you
  20. usually by putting my hand in my pocket only kidding, reception has been fine, i think some early ones had issues, but thats been resolved. last droid update killed the standard mail app, but got the official hotmail app so all was fine. new update fixed mail issue, but now all of a sudden GPS is down. but as it was a free upgrade i'm not to worried, and as i'm not GPS reliant it hasn't really bothered me. yes i'm sure if it was an apple it would never have had these problems and would be perfect like the little baby cheeses (jesus) but i like the doid OS at the mo it just suits my needs. works great as my mail and PDA setup talks to my windows pc fine. and does all the stuff i need it to. my last apple phone didn;t contract due in 18 months, and interested to look at new win8 to see if its decent by then.
  21. All this bickering has made me decide to go old school if people want to spend their own cash on apple thats their choice. i tried it and don't like it, not becuase it isn;t good, but because i've become windows institutionalised. and i'm too lazy to sit down and re learn the apple way. to be fair non of them are all out best at everything. there are things iphone does better, and things droid does better. but neither do it all. for me money plays a big part. i have to base my decisions on getting what i need for a sensible price. i ruled the S3 out not becuase the oneX was better but because it was cheaper. i haven't bought any tablet yet as none of them are at the point yet where they are what i want to spend that kind of cash on. i do think some people need to not follow so blindly as it does look like a few are posting up like cult worshipers.
  22. very good light weight cast wheel, possibly on eof the lightest out there.
