Any tips for someone dabbling in detailing their own cars micko?

Get yourself a cheap Random orbital polisher. You can't damage your paint with 1! 

Get yourself some orange pads and some HD apapt. This stuff cuts quite heavy defects but is also a diminishing compound so the cutting agents actually break down as they are worked. Unless your car is seriously munted this stuff will work great and will finish down to a nice mirror finish ?

Decontaminating & Preparing your car for sealing is the key to making your wax or coating last as long as possible ?

So heres how she finished up.

I sealed her up with Angelwax Ti-22 titanium paint sealant followed up with Angelwax Dark Angel. Then i threw a coat of Kamikaze overcoat on it. 

Pics do it no justice. Kamikaze products are amazing!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. I need a new clutch for my gearbox. It is a factory smallbox behind RB20DE NEO. What options do i have? If iam not mistaken the gearbox should be the same as in R32 GTST and Nissan S14/S15? I found some Xtreme Clutch Stage 1 for S14/S14 (i dont know if you know the brand) (UK) OR...is the clutch same as in the bigbox from RB25DET?   Thank you!

      What Music Are You Listening To?

      Listening to an artist called "the flashbulb". Not bad. Makes some fairly well researched youtube vids in various things.

      Is actually easier than you might think. Assuming you have a spot, youfab up the branch, then just hang a longer than you can fit length of pipe down from there, and chop bits off piece by piece and decde which length was the quietest/nicest, then just put that length up in the place where it will fit. Clever folk can actually make like a trombone slide type arrangement so you can just play it like an instrument to find the best length.

      Necroing this thread in 2025 to say thanks! The Manual for the m60 still has the wrong instructions and says to only press button 2 with ignition on. You are a champ, thank you.
