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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
