Hehe, I just washed my stagea using my brand new ENJO car glove and cloth and I was so impressed I thought I'd take some photos to show off the "shininess" :D

The only "photoshopping" was in removing numberplates etc. :(

The angle of the photo and the reflection may be a bit deceptive, but it does make the paint look awesome :P

Here's a better one of the bonnet, with no shadows.

pretty sure anyone could get shots like this after a good car wash - I just thought it looked cool! :)

lookn good Steve-0

just use the drive in carwash stations myself now, costs $4 for an awesome chemical-hosedown

got some of those mitten things you mention for xmas, and dipped in a bucket of rain water they do help the car come up real nice and shiney.

all i use is a enjo mit & cold water about twice a week, real easy to clean & comes up great,takes about ten mins[now someone will probably tell us enjo's no good]

hehe, you either like it or you dont i guess. My wife sells it now so I have to like it :happy:

Still, I've got to say I'm pretty impressed with it. The only thing I could really argue with was the price, but then I've spent a lot on car cleaning products in the last 3-4 years (a lot more than the car cleaning kit costs). And for a lot of the other enjo products, they are often cheaper than the chemical cleaners they replace (over 4 years - which is the expected lifetime of the cloths etc.).

Anyway, I'm not trying to sell them...I just use one and it works great, best car cleaning glove i've used. :huh:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
