Very nice pal! :cool: Best colour too! Paintwork looks as though it could do with a bit of TLC mind :wink:
-
Yea i know, just having the spare time and weather. What you you ues on yours? My mates got a professional mop. Do you think its worth going over once with a soft mod head? Dont want any swirls tho.
Cheers
-
a mop :huh: :huh: WTF??? do you mean a mitt??? get some decent wash (zymol is what i use, it smells amazing) then the usual polishing and waxing :smiley: :smiley:
-
a PC should sort out that paintwork... :smiley:

I take it you mean a machine polisher?? Depends how used to using one your mate is? IMO it's well worth getting a proffesional detailer to spend a day on it, especially if the rest of the car is as swirly as the wing? :huh: Looks as though it may have been through a mechanical car wash?? Makes it alot easier to look after once done :wink:
-
Yea your probably right, I am a lazy owner. Might try and polish her this weekend then.
Autoglym here week come!

lol "you dont want any swirls", your cars already got em
and a wash and Auto glym is not going to help you bar show them up more when the suns out.
-
Ok what do you suggest to get rid of them?

Pop a question in the detailing section they will point you inthe right direction. :wink:

cheers

Wheels looking good :tongue:
Are they 19" BBS CH's ? (or 18")
The paintwork just needs a good machine polish - where do you live ?
your photos are taken in the sun which have shown the swirls at their worst :shocked:
-
V Nice :cool:
-
nice looking motor, like the 19's aswell, shame you inherited poor quality rubber . They dont last very long normally.
-
You can be horrible sometimes mr mccavity, what makes you say poor quality rubber, the lad might have saved hard for them tyres. Toyo's aren't a bad all round tyre, in the dry they will take some beating, in the wet they are ok and for the money they are good. Some people use them to get better clearence as they have a stretched look to the shoulder even though they are the same size, giving you a little more room. I think you can be a bit critical at times
-
We all have our opinions Gaz, thats what forums are about, sorry if it offends you, but worse things have been said by all, so best end it their pal :lipsrsealed:
Sorry if my manner to YOU is harsh, but i think compared to others on here im a pussycat in comparision.
Toyos may be good, but i was just stating the fact that these tyres do wear out very fast compared with other Brands of tyres, better with grip due to
being such a soft compound, but wear out twice as fast. (fact)
edit:
infact consider this my last post, ive just about had enough tbh. cheers peeps for your help other the years. Red robin, can you liase with kate for the
rolling road in october running of it as i wont be attending. i need a break and have too much going on at the mo.
-
Oh dear :rolleyes:
I've got pearl black and I've booked mine in for a professional detailing next month after my 2nd service. I've had some new paint and got some swirls/minor scratches which should come out OK.

Phil sorry to read that your going mate. I always enjoyed your posts and feel the place wont be the same without you :sad:
Sad day.
-
HEY RELAX YOU GUYS!!!!!
No probs I agree the toyos are ok but not my first choice. They came with the car. She is booked in for a complete machine polish next week so will post pics up when done.
Cheers!!!

Dont worry about it Damo.
Where all a bunch of girl's on here sometime's Handbag's at dawn
The problem is the written word, if you just right what you think straight away then it can easily come out offending someone or sound incredibly insensitive. IF Phil had said to you :nice wheels but those tyre's wont last to long: face to face you would of probably said yeh thank's fort the advice.
Redrobin's writing style can come across wrong sometime's but everyone on here know's he is incredibly helpfull and doesn't mean to be insensitive it's just his style of getting to the point quickly.
At the end of the day we all know phil is a good chap and the odd occassional left field comment should just be forgotten about.
And that should apply to all of us IMHO
Remember guy's smiley's are your friend.

:shocked: :shocked: Didn't log on last night, come on this morning and Phils gone!! :sad:
John (Hurdy) has he actually gone? Has he spoken to you? He will be well missed if he has.................
-
I've tried phoning him this morning and left a message on his mobile. I hope he hasn't decided to go :cry: as I've met up with him a few times now and he's a great chap. :smiley: His posts are generally on the lighter, positive, witty side and that's what led us to making him a moderator on the MKV section. :cool:
I hope it isn't some form of moderator curse :shocked:
