i bought mothers 3 step waxing system to use on my car?? dunno how good it is though??

i havnt used it, so i cant comment. But what i do is wash the car, then paint clean it, then polish it, then synthetic wax it, then natural wax it. and then when i wash it the next time i use some detail spray after washing it :)

Yes im pedantic, but the car looks soo horn

well the 3 step is a :

Step 1 : pre-wax cleaner,

Step 2 : sealer and glazer

Step 3 : caranuba wax

I have used the zymol range and found it to be the best so far (have tried meguirers, and mothers as well). If you were really being podantic shanef I have a mate who has this wax that has to be refrigerated when not being used but once done looks awesome.

yeh the wax i want from zymol needs to be kept refridgerated, and applied only by bare hands...wat is the stuff ur friend uses?

do u machine buff or hand wax??

hand wax, id never use a buff (it puts swirls in caus it moves in a circular fashion, i work in straight lines)

hmm sounds about right, the zymol stuff ain't cheap but is good

indeed, gonna cost me around $400 for all the gear i want

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
