Chesterfield Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Ill do it for you Stuey Sarnie - stop taking pictures outside schools - not doing the yellow crowd any favours.
nixy Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Nice and clean - don't you just hate it if you have to go out in the rain the day after! Roll on summer!
Stew Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 The exhaust pic is very arty sarnie. I might need to buy some autosol for mine!
lomoto Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 The Sun's still out so I gave mine a wax today , last chance before the Wales run Wax on Wax off
Sarnie Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Looks amazing What wax is that? Do you apply it by hand?
davetstan Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Think I will need to wear two pairs of Oakley's on Sunday with the glare off Sarnie's yellow beast. Whats the best tyre dressing you boys use, I always find if I dress the tyres the alloys get dirty very quickly and sometimes it splatters up the paint work as the wheels spin. Obviously I won't need much with my 20 inch bad boys and ultra low profile P zero's
lomoto Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Thanks Sarnie, just use a trade wax, quite cheap AUTOSMART CARNAUBA , put on by hand with a damp cloth , leave it 30 mins and polish it off ..a mate gave me a tub of this and I have used it ever since,.... found some for sale on Ebay though still cheap http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1

Jacko Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 I'm worried I won't have time to clean mine again before Wales...... Got rely on a quick un Sat morning (if its good weather) before footie game. Then will be too late as will be out sat night then nice early start sunday!

Obviously I won't need much with my 20 inch bad boys and ultra low profile P zero's again I just use a bit of trade tyre dessing, cheap if you buy it in 5 litre tins we get through a lot at work so I just pinch some for home use drys to make the tyre look new not polished or wet look
davetstan Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Is that available in Halfords or do you need to get it from a specialist place? Must admit I've never heard of Meguairs before... always been an auto glym man myself, find it to be very good indeed. Might get some this week. Pics look quality Liam,,, thanks for burning my retina's.

davetstan Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Thanks Lomoto, Yours do look pretty good. Remind me to pick your brains about a mark on one of my alloys on Sunday...Had a disaster on one with a small kerb mark, got it refurbed and it now looks bobbins....all the laquer is comming off and its stressing me out.. Just had the car finally looking how I wanted it to and then kerbed it at work whilst in a rush.

davetstan Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Thanks Sarnie, Might get some this week.... going to give mine one last quality clean on Saturday and pray it remains dry....

Chris`I Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Why do you apply it with a damp cloth? And why leave it 30 mins? You have to leave it to glaze over, much easier to remove then. Not sure why a damp cloth but all waxes I have used say to use one, so I do.

Not sure why a damp cloth but all waxes I have used say to use one, so I do. I've ben using P21S carnauba wax, applying it with a pad applicator. I used the one supplied with it to begin with, but now have the Meguiar's pads. I don't recall seeing any instructions to apply it wet, and it is very easy to buff off after a few minutes.

And why leave it 30 mins? Easier to apply evenly with a damp cloth , and seems to dry quicker , 30 mins is how long it takes to harden, leave it longer if you want
jim Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Whats the best tyre dressing you boys use, I always find if I dress the tyres the alloys get dirty very quickly and sometimes it splatters up the paint work as the wheels spin. I use Turtle Wax extreme tyre gel - it leaves the tyres looking like new, not too wet look, which I prefer. It doesn't spray on to the wheels or wings, but does remain a bit sticky, and makes a mess of your sponge if you try to wipe the tyre walls at the next wash.

Thanks Jim, going to get something this week, have tried turtle wax spray on in the past and also just sprayed on some of that das dandy stuff which makes them black...but it really does dirty the wheels quick when you start driving...
