  1. try R35lee or zmanalex, they may have some good condition used units
  2. Will try nattys again in 6 months when the weather improves
  3. Are they rhd or lhd ? do they have enough adjustment for rhd ?
  4. Stunning, love the rear
  5. Looks like he left it a bit late for those new tires
  6. Full respray ?!?
  7. 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
  8. you can never go wrong with an led
  9. love the car Rob..
  10. classic paul calf trying to be chuck norris
  11. happy new year
  12. 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
  13. looks superb !!
  14. 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 ?
  15. not keen but at least if you leave them you have the option to change in the future
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. by hand - Clay bar, prime lime lite, black hole then supernatural would give a good finish on GM/silver unless you can machine polish
  21. Decal or not to decal ? Better with imo I've got akebono decals for mine
  22. Madness just can't understand their mind set, it's not laziness as they make it more difficult for themselves
  23. the le mans is
  24. 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
