I just spent $300(Ã,£160) on car washing stuff :?
OH isnt happy :lol:
You deserve a slappping!
I cant see spending more than $10 on car stuff, and that includes Armor All for the rubber and tires, some microfiber towels, and a jug of Simple Green to melt off the brake dust.
Its a car, not a whore. $300 for a really good BJ--that Id condone.

i think you are probably right, but recon i can make the money back by doing some details on friends and families cars.
heres what i bought anyway
Sonus SFX Polisher Kit Sonus SFX-1 Swirl and Scratch Remover Pad Sonus SFX-2 Paint Polishing Pad Sonus Der Wunder Drying Towel, Pkg/2 Sonus SFX-1 Restore Polish Sonus SFX-2 Enhance Swirl Remover
You cant polish a turd, even with Ã,£160 worth of polish.

Random orbit buffer: $30
Mothers car polish: $10-20

lol its not a buffer. those cheapo buffers dont have the torque to cut out defects.

Thats not a bad rate, that, when converted.
But shiiteing hell, how is it possible to spend Ã,£160 on car washing stuff? Does this include a pressure washer or something? Meguirs up to the eyeballs I can imagine. Oh wait, you got a buffer?? Damn.

Read the page, its a buffer and they saw you coming... :P
Really its a ten quid grinder thats been modified - if you look closely.

Youre an idiot. Thats all there is to it. We use Ã,£30 buffers to go through gelcoat on the bottom of yachts. That a ROVER would need anything even approaching that kind of torque is ridiculous.
im really starting to lose patience with peoples clueless ramblings on this site.
I havent been had at all i spent weeks researching what the professionals use and have spoken to loads of pros before buying this.
This is one of 3 random orbit polishers that are worth using, none of which are available directly in the UK. The porter cable has the best motor, the best control of the most speeds and the best throw. Apart from a rotory polisher (which takes years of practice to be good at and is dangerous in untrained hands) it is the best.
and my gold kettle lead has half the stray capacitance of your copper one.
Well, upon research, its highly rated:

Costs $120 w/o the pads.
Still, Id rather have a BJ and a nice steak for that kind of money.
Do you think we should wind him up some more? :lol: After all he spent the money and it isnt like hes going to change his mind now or his choice ;)
you are going to get a sh*t herpes infested whore for that price.
i would rather get drunk

Tesco Value Washing-Up Liquid: 17p
Pair of old pants: 0p
You mug! :P
Does it come with acoustically tuned wooden knobs?
Soz, did you look into the clay stuff? I was thinking about giving it a ago but it looks too much hardwork.
The kit looks worth the money, but 10 minutes down the motorway is gonna ruin hours of shinying.
edit: this (http://www.mx5ocforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=35263&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&) is a very awesome post.
washing up liquid generally has a salt content and is therefor bad mmkay
i dont bother in winter anyway, its only worth polishing the car in summer
i try to wash mine every week in the winter, stop the salt and crap building up
some of us have galvanised bodies so its not a problem ;)
if you think that will mean itll last forever you are sorely mistaken
i dont need to last forever, ill be getting a newer car soon enough so it wont be my problem
Got a Jap car sitting outside thats 15 years old, gets washed yearly, and has not a spec of rust. Paints fading a bit on the roof, though. :P Indeed, I believe dirt acts as a preservative. The VW has nice thin crust of white salt like some sort of prosciutto-esque automotive wainscoting . :lol:
my mum and dad think that dirt holds the car together.
i hate washing cars but i do like the end result, esspecially on a nice car.
The only time the old Megane got washed was when i sold it.

So what you gonna be washing with the stuff you bought then?! ;)

So does splashed water from the road, and the dirt can have a much higher salt content. All cars paint should be easily capable of withstanding it and you should rinse it off very well before you polish.
I have used the stuff on a few cars without any problem, if anything the result is exceptionally clean, but there is no oil on the surface once you have finished. It needs waxing ASAP. The result can be exceptional though, especially if you have a grimy car.
Wash all over, including the windows, rinse thorughly, dry, wax the metal bits, admire.
dirt is corrosive, water trapped under the dirt starts to create a galvanic corrosion reaction, where the ions start to mess around and affect everything.
galvanised bodies are only a sacraficial dip which prolongs the corroding of the material .
But still, no need to spend quite so much on cleaning products to stop the body rusting surely?!
Jaimz :rock:
Did the stuff come yet? Wanna see the results :D

Speaks the truth! Ive read a lot on it. Although it is a lot of money to spend, he hasnt wasted it on crap products! They do produce very good results......and you can polish a turd! Ive seen some fantastic results. It took a lot of effort, but the results came.
it came a while ago, took only 7days to get to me, but the weather has been too crap and i havnt had the time.
I went over my mums little car quickly to test it and it did alright but i need practice. hopefully this weekend ill be able to try it properly.
