Not sure on your levels of "detailing" abilities so sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
C4, having used it a few times, can go wrong. Prep is key. Almost neat APC scrub, rinse, dry, panel wipe (if you have it), let that flash off and then apply C4. Grab a couple of cotton buds too as there...
@Yarp have you thought about a coating on the skuttle?
Gtechniq C4 is ace for that kind of thing. Can do it in situ and it lasts years. Big scrub with some apc first, rinse, dry, then apply and level after. Its amazing stuff
Also, absolutely love how you immediately resort to violence when...
Thats what i thought! Then again, we dont know the circumstances. It might just be some utter beater that gets its wheels properly washed twice a year. But, yeah, not a chance ill be going in neat!
I have got 2 proper rotters coming in over the next few weeks so ill give it a go at 1:3 and see...
Nice, thanks for the heads up.
The AS rep told me he tends to use it neat on his wifes car after a blast with the pressure washer. I wont be doing that. Iirc the bottle says 1:3 so ill dilute that way to start with. As I told him, I dont tend to work on minging cars that often so I wont be...
Yeah, im gonna give that a swerve I think @imprezaworks
Im sure its fine, but with some of the motors I work on, I just cant take the risk. Same way id never use TFR.
Annoyingly, after a reasonably big purchase from In2Detailing (Coating, mini rotary, rotary extension kit and some other...
For reference, this is the main area of concern. Highlighted yellow (kind of). Stock Google image and it's hard to see. But it's ridiculously tight in here. Almost a 45° angle. And, of course, being a sill it's swirl city so going at it by hand isn't a torture I wish upon myself 🤣
To get...
Cheers guys.
I think I've made my mind up. I'm gonna grab the mini shine mate rotary and the extension kit for it. That takes me to nearly £200 anyway. The extension kit is amazing. Perfect for getting into tight areas and badges etc. that's the main reason I wanted one anyway as the tight...
Thanks Kev. Id love a rupes but I just cant justify the price. I only do 1-2 corrections a year at most so its just not needed. The shinemate is £200!
For what its worth, I think im going to grab the mini shinemate rotary, purely so i can grab the mini extension kit so I can get round all the...
Morning chaps.
Just had a job accepted for a polish and coating on a new F Type Jag in BRG. Stunnnning colour.
My ancient (10+ year old) CleanYourCar DA (Probably a DasPro) is beginning to show signs of its age. Im looking to grab another polisher to go alongside it, especially with this big...
Yep! As @KitsonRis said, tethers or GTFO
Providing I can find them, I have a bundle of tethers for those that need them. Let me know and ill try and find them and bring them to CSF with me for people to use/have (ive got the one I use and never needed the other 10)
Im getting properly fucked off with Ring now.
We have a few cameras at our place, a couple from a previous address. All working dandy, never had an issue.
I have a big Spotlight camera out the front which, when it works, is ace. Night vision and the floodlight comes on when anyone walks past...
I'm honestly unsure why this gif came up when I searched for "Sting". None of the others were half as amusing as this masked gentlemen committing child abuse. Good day.
The best 'bomb' ive used in the car was a Bilt Hamber one. Wasnt so focused on the scent, although it was a light citrus smell, but it was one that promised to remove nasties. Anti microbial or whatever its called.
I liked that one but they're £12 each!
Just to jump in on this. I had the S22 and, youre absolutely right, the battery life was f**king abysmal.
Waited for the S24 Ultra and, even though the phone is bigger, the battery is immense. I leave mine on battery saving mode so it only charges to 85%. Its also on the 'dynamic' mode so it...
Some I know from when I lived in Southampton is meant to be really good. Like me, he does it off his drive etc so it's not a proper lock up just so you're aware. Want me to send you the details? He's on faceache
I have all Ryobi stuff. Their impact gun is pretty decent for the money.
Worth checking out what torque you need for subframe bolts, adding 20% and then looking at specs on the impacts
