Yep i agree with the above, did wonders for my car once it got off the boat... they have a full cut polish and also a middle-of-the -road one which isn't quite so abrasive, i think it's called a "cleaner" or something to remove dirt/grime and oxidised paint. crystal finish somethingorother. ah heck you'll find it!

I think its Eagle one hmmmm trying to think but they do the wet shine tyres and their polish brings my car up like glass - ive also got maguires wet shine but it smudges for me - then again some days i just cant be bothered putting any effort in - its like im only doing this because my car looks gun metal grey when it really should be black. All i can say is what you pay for is what u get and if u can grab hold of armoural wipes for the inside of your car - do so! They are like baby wipes but you go over you vinyl/leather dash and steering wheel etc with them and they really do a good job specially if you car is sitting in sun all day.

If you have a black car dont even think of cutting the paint work back yourself unless you know what you are doing because it will just end up looking crap full of swirl marks in the sunlight best to let the pros do it but you could try meguiar's scratch-x it works good on black paint and then try some meguiar's gold class wax:uh-huh:

I tried the turtle wax, with the chip stick... The wax itself is colour coded (just get the same shade as your car, e.g. red, blue etc).

It did cover up a 2" scratch on my boot lid and looks less obvious unless you come very close. I may do it again to get another layer for better protection.

Always a good idea to do it once every few months I suppose, but of course not every week.

In my opinion Armourall is rubbish - ie too greasy/slimy, you can always tell if someone has used it. The Meguiars plastic cleaner is better, lasts longer, looks more 'natural' and you wont slide right out of your car.....

Yepp, that's what I use.

The last time I polished the car was about 12 months ago, and it still looks great after a wash.

Hay one thing - has anyone used one of those electric buffer things that you can buy for $40-50 bucks???

Are they any good??

It would make the job sooooo much quicker.

i got one of them buffers the other day lol... i'm gonna use it on my black car tommz, I'll let youse know how it goes...

It was on sale in Marlows from $60 to $20 (with a discount coz my mate owrked there).

I now have to find gold class hard wax by maguiars. I use the liquid one and it works wonders but liquid wax tends to fly off the buffer.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
