Hey guys, any suggestions on car care products?

want to buy some general car care items, but not sure what to buy, so many brands and products

advice on some basic products?(like the must-haves of car care)

so lemme know!

cheers

spit shine n elbow grease :yes:

meguires makes some good stuff to

Meguars

Mothers

not autoglym , pretty average stuff

Zymoil but cost a bucket load and can be fussy on dark cars, but the leather treatment rocks

3M who produces most of the products above or develops for them...lol

Fire Glaze isnt too bad from tests

there are a lot of companys,

a few good spots for car detailing info

the bottom one is megs and prob the most informative if you go to the USA site IMO

http://www.detailparadise.com.au/

http://www.autopia.org/

http://www.motoractive.com.au/

me like the volley ball chick, and peterbuilt one... but so many to choose from...hahahaha

lol my mums got vp on gas. i reckon thats about what its worth. pos is the most unreliable car our familys ever owned. we owned is since 98' so fair while now laundry list of probs, mechanics have mentioned to em a few times its the worst car to have on gas.

aside from that what i always thought was crap with em is the power steering becomes super light suddenly at 3/4 lock, making for jerky steering.

get a dato man, mines got tow bar :P towed a broken down vp with it b4

some f**king scumbag asshole kids shot a ball bearing/slug/rock through my brothers windscreen as he was coming down the McIntyre rd hill towards Bridge rd last night, leaving a 3ish mm hole in the window with excessive spider web cracks. :P

his friend said it might have been from an older model pajero, but not sure. f**king scum.

yeh but y are they so bad..?

They were made in elizabeth nuff said, cant remember all the probs it had but as far as im concerned it had an easy life. gbox blew, power window buttons dont work half the time, used to overheat alot, rear suspension went on it. the only thing in its defence was it has done something like 280,000k

o and bogans n old ladys drive them :P shopping trolleys handle better. had good torque though ill give it that 1 :(

n damn damo thats some messed up sh*t

Man those fit chicks remind me of my SASI days. f**k me the chicks were good back then.. and always willing on the long road trips too :P

Anyone know any tire places in the Port Adelaide area that will stretch tires? CBF driving to sinergy or wheelworx

what would vs berlina 1996 on gas, lowered, rims, CLEAN be worth?

i dont know alot about commys

if its a 6 no more then $3000 in top con, if its a 8 no more then $6500, Iv got the 6 that i use as a tow car/daily and the thing is strong as f**k takes a beating by my fat foot.

if you want ultimate car detailing stuff...

permagard reactive polymer. full stop.

shit aint cheap tho :whistling:

yeah but its good shit...........ive used it before.....just cant afford it right now ;) but when i can ill be using it again :(

lol. whenever i wander through all i see is talent. and i dont have matty's (low low) standards, so thats saying something.

f**kup bitch :whistling: wait till the dinner at the ale house, you'll see my taste has quite improved

what would vs berlina 1996 on gas, lowered, rims, CLEAN be worth?

i dont know alot about commys

dont waste ya time adrian

even with a decent trans cooler the turbo 400 trans is a piece of shit

lowered car will be a piece of shit to tow with too, as the trailer will dump the IRS smack on its arse

get yaself a decent 4wd (yes, you dont wanna spend 9k on a patrol, but you'll probably spend 9k fixing the dunnydore)

either that or get a BA falcon - ideally go a wagon as they're live axle and leaf spring

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
