I am more of a meguirs man, however my friend that details porchse GT3's and some of the cars for Joe Crisafio as mentioned in another thread, when polishing he uses 3M brand, the same people that do those sticky notes! apparently they have a small range of polishes aswell, though he does prefer meguirs car polish he said value for money this 3M car polish is real good. He used it on my car and seemed to come up sweet!

Hey, Gradenko.

I thought it was just me

But then I began to think

Perhaps its his IQ that's higher

'Coz maybe he is a literary type

Using word patterns and structures beyond your hype

Or maybe he is a technology tryer

So, careful to what you let yourself sink

Grammar Police, ... well ... maybe!

Cheers.

P.S. The sentiment is fine, but watch your own grammar too: "well constructed sentences IS ...". Ahem. Perchance this should be "are". And "sepArating".

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!!

Off thread I know, but hey .....

Bugger, isn't it always the case. In future, I'll proof read before putting the smack down :(

Lets let this rest for now. Back to car cleaning!

Not sure where's the best place to get it.... i think (good automotive) paint shops... My old man picked this stuff up when he bought his Hilux, and has hardly used it....

Use white spirits to get Amourall off the interior. Don't think you should use too much, I only did a small hidden area so I could stick my turbo timer on under the dash. Didn't notice any discolouration.

Just told today by someone that professional car detailers use a capful of kerosene in a bucket of cold water to wash black cars. He used it himself for 12 months on his black Landcruiser, and it did not do anything to the paint. No streaking, water marks or anything. Has anyone else heard of this?

Does any of that stuff to keep mags clean work? I get alot of brake dust, don't know how:p, and they need cleaning every 2 days.

See'ya:burnout:

I use to live in the bush pretty much and travel to work everyday via limestone track with my VC Commodore, 17' rims, yadda yadda yadda... and mag cleaners are really crap, i use to clean my rims with turtlewax car wash, and then use a ... yes... silver polish cloth...with polish to clean them up spick n span :D

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
