  1. Yes and no. LPL is primarily a pre-wax cleanser - it's actually the better cleanser of the two, but also leaves oils behind for the wax to bond to along with some fillers (like a glaze). BH is primarily a glaze - it contains more fillers than LPL (so will mask more swirls than LPL), it won't cleanse as well as LPL but does contain mild cleansers too and leaves the same oils for wax bonding. I didn't say the do the same, but actually... they really do, as it happens (see above). They just do each thing to different degrees and will achieve difference results with each hence my opinion would be that both is unnecessary and a preference for a proper (perhaps corrective) polish instead (although maybe I didn't make that bit clear). Now if you'd suggested using Lime Prime (rather than Lite), I might see the point of using both due to the abrasives in LP. However, this is just my opinion. Just speaking from personal experience as I will only recommend what I've used and not what I have read about, Lpl can be just waxed over but I find it too oily , it is however a good way to cleanse and bring life back to the paint. I would not advise using Lp on a Nissan or without seeing the paint or what someone uses to polish with including their method, I couldn't recommend anything abrasive incase of damage It was overkill and I'm sure as the op has opted for - clay, black hole, supernatural. They will give impressive results Ps. I have tried nattys but I just can't get the reflections I get with supernatural Other favs inc blacklight and hybrid v7
  2. you can never go wrong with an led
  3. love the car Rob..
  4. classic paul calf trying to be chuck norris
  5. happy new year
  6. Get the Black Hole from here and the SN from Envy Valeting on here with a members discount (Tim might even sell BH too, but I'm not sure - although I personally think Natty's gives a slightly wetter finish, personally. Do a full wash, decontamination (fallout, tar remover & clay) and spend some time polishing it - level of correction requires would determine what polish. I'd also suggest using both Black Hole a Lime Prime Lite is unnecessary - one or the other really as neither has any cut and both contain cleaners so the first will just be removed by the second anyway. Isn't lime prime lite a cleaner and black hole a glaze? So the black hole goes on after to hide your blemishes? Not saying I'm right, just asking. They do not do the same, lime prime is a cleaner/ cleanser, with the op saying his paint is looking tired I thought it worthwhile to revitalise before the polish/glaze of black hole
  7. looks superb !!
  8. just a strip down and clean (obviously checked for play in the bearings and shafts), its annoying limp mode and no turbo and then it clears and you get a lump of torque/power but it seems to know when you want to overtake ! I saw something on a forum about using oven cleaner with the turbo in situ ?
  9. not keen but at least if you leave them you have the option to change in the future
  10. Interesting you say the black hole, I'm using white diamond because I was worried the BH might be a bit too dark. WD gives me a nice look, I'm assuming you're pleased with your BH results? Might give it a try next time. I've used both whilst very subtle I found that black hole gives better colour depth on Gm
  11. no probs, dont forget some polishing pads and microfibres everyone has their favourite products but I know these will work as I have used them on both Gm and silver with great results
  12. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2582cb4567 is you're car silver or Gmetal ? you could use white diamond on silver but I would use black hole
  13. yes to both but i have nattys blue and it's nowhere near as good as supernatural ( so buy the black hole on it's own) search for a sample pot of supernatural approx £15 and lasts a long time the thing with good products is you only need to use a small amount - less is more
  14. by hand - Clay bar, prime lime lite, black hole then supernatural would give a good finish on GM/silver unless you can machine polish
  15. Decal or not to decal ? Better with imo I've got akebono decals for mine
  16. Madness just can't understand their mind set, it's not laziness as they make it more difficult for themselves
  17. the le mans is
  18. Agreed they are numpties but something must be telling them to park next to a car when there are loads of spaces ? I am the total opposite, like most people on here I imagine
  19. Fair comment - done
  20. Seriously can someone please try and explain to me why ... I was in tesco's car park yesterday and it was about a third full, lots of spaces available Mr and mrs ? Come into the car park in their car and he stops and lets his wife get out so he can park close to the next car ! The other people can not get in their car now because he is that close and on the other side of his car are 6 empty spaces !!! I almost went to ask why he had parked like that because for the life of me I don't understand it Is it a herd mentality ? There has to be some psychological reason Why make your life and someone else's difficult for no reason ? I didn't wait to see if his wife struggled to get in, I see this so many times people struggle to park and then struggle to get out of the car ,they Are that close to the other car even when there are masses of empty spaces Rant over
  21. platypus
  22. mmm nice but the red sounds nice aswell
  23. i wanted red and took a red gt edition for a run but it had a few problems and I walked, then I saw the Lm and really liked it in the flesh (wasn't keen on the colour in pics), no regrets
