i do it, dont care what you guys say.... im someone that has done it and done it for years, never ever had a probelm. but nothing like what your talking about, you dont go puting a hole bottle of the shit in the water or rubing it on with a rag. Its the main way i keep my white wheels so perfectly white.

i used a HALF a cap of kero in a 15L bucket of warm water with megs shampoo. Give her a wash, than wash again with megs shampoo and normal watrer, it really pulls all the shit off the paint and any old polish and crap thats been on there for ages, give you a fresh base to start with.... you have to use polish/sealent and a wax but dont just leave it.

i havnt got any pics on this pc that dose it justise, but i can tell you now if you do it right it works sweet. and i only use the kero when its needed not every wash and polish maybe twice a year.

im with you, i dont do it all the times just a few times a year, but i do use a lot, i spray it on and wipe it in with rag, been doing it for many years

I knew an old bloke who use to add a shot of diesel (30mls) to a bucket of warm soapy water on his XB falco, and even after 20 years it looked like new!

He also used corn flour to polish his car! a metal polisher also told me once to use corn flour to bring up a shine on metal surfaces.

I use zymol products on my cars :)

My grandfather uses kero in his car wash and his cars have always looked excellent.. although he has only had 2 camry's in the time i have been alive haha. Either way, his first camry's paint still looked like new when he sold it. (about 2001) And his current camry is the same. I have only done it to my car once (when i washed it at his place) and it came up excellent. I think what deano has written is spot on, i dont think people should be worried about what it does to the paint.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
