Lewis Schwier 247 Posted November 4, 2020 Very nice! I wouldn’t recommend the Auto Finesse Caramic wipes. C5 & Carbon Collective Platinum Wheels are decent if you are doing it yourself. If you do take it to a detailer like @ilogikal1 said make sure you go to someone who is using a good product Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShortPaul 742 Posted November 4, 2020 Hi just spoke to the detailer they are proposing to us a product called nano lex for ceramic coating can somebody shed any light on this product please Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilogikal1 2,101 Posted November 4, 2020 Nanolex is a good brand with a decent reputation. There's still a few products that they could use - if they're using Wheel Sealant, I'd save the cash and do it yourself. If they're using Si3D or better (SiShield, Si3D HD or Si3D Max) then it would be more worth it. Is the detailer accredited (https://nanolexstore.co.uk/pages/approved-centres)?

Thanks for the heads up, but i have decided to get them coated, its only 25 quid per wheel so its not a ridiculous price, i do appreciate all advice from yourself and everyone else 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure whether to be impressed by your dediction or concerned about the amount of spare time you must have! 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Payco 2,423 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) lol. I work bloody long hours but manage my own time so always checking in on you guys and maintaining my responsibilities as REO for this great place. My passion is cars, hence my time on here. I am not on face ache and don't get involved in other things like twatter etc. Not getting defensive, just saying how it is. I have been working overseas all week but always find time to jump on here when taking some time out. I'm not in Ekona's league.lol. Love your car BTW.

As an ex-team member I know that managing a free forum throws various challenges from time wasters and worse.....that takes up a fair bit of time, apart from enjoying what the rest of us members want to read, follow and benefit from. And yes it is dedication/passion, that keeps team members going, giving up what free time they have and remembering they do it all for free. No doubt your interest Silverthorn in what a team member gets up to has been noted.....as a future recruit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bry 129 Posted November 6, 2020 You lot spend a bit too much time cleaning stuff on your cars rather than driving them . My Nismo wheels were taken out of the box, had tyres fitted and then put straight on the car, 2 years later they still look like new and that’s without all these concoctions being put on them . I think the older I get the less I can be arsed with all this polishing malarkey plus I think dirty sports cars kinda look cool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HEADPHONES 1,244 Posted November 21, 2020 That's more like it.......been teasing us for AGES and this is the first proper glimpse of them on the car. But, still not really showing them in all their glory. You're like one of those burlesque dancers just teasing with little snippets here and there. Some nice pics out in the open with full car in view and proper lighting please 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
