I was gonna say i hadnt seen your name pop up in a while! Nice shots mate.

Ill give you a Like on your FB page to help out a fellow photographer

It's certainly been a while! Thank you for the compliment, nice to see another photographer around here.

Returned the favour!

It's been a while since I showed my face around here, so I figured I'd show you all what I've been up to recently!

Got a bit sick of the cost of repairing/maintaining cars for the moment and decided to instead start merging my interests in both photography and cars together.

At least he came out safe from the crash, the battery wasn't even secured properly so he should be grateful!

Cheers mate.

I've just had a look through my (several hundred) shots and couldn't find any I'm afraid. Didn't manage to get an awful lot on the Saturday due to being late and the weather.

Thanks mate, only just got the camera so I had quickly read up as much as I could on photography, got myself a decent lens and went straight in, was the first time I'd ever shot a moving subject!

Definitely learnt a lot over the course of the weekend and came away with a lot of shots I'm totally chuffed with.

Since noone has posted any pics up of this I thought I'd share mine, Saturday ended up hammering it down with rain and it became a mudbath but luckily the sun decided to show it's face on the Sunday.

If you want to 'bring back shine' like you stated then the best way to go about it would be to get yourself a DA polisher.

If you want further help, let me know, but I'm not going to type out the exact steps if you're not interested in getting one!

I'd always recommend claying before using any type of polish, this removes contaminants that will be on the surface which you'll only rub in once you begin polishing.

Never had a black car, so can't show you any pictures of how it'd look, however I can tell you that black looks better than any other colour when done properly, here's my grey cars:

"found these"?

That must have taken a fair amount of searching.

Some nice pics there mate, I really like it but I feel the splitter lets it down a bit since it doesn't fit properly.

Just being honest!

From the back that looked pretty much identical to my old one, made me feel sad when I looked at it!

That can only be a good thing though! ;)

Any picture of the bottle itself? Is it a spray bottle or do you need to a power washer and lance etc?

Normal spray trigger mate, I'd recommend PW'ing after use but you definitely won't need a lance.

I doubt they could make that route much longer if they tried!

Also, the above post is very true, I had endless amounts of mine popping off, ended up getting pissed off and shoving about 4 mikalor clamps on one poxy hose.

The reason it hasn't sold is that you're destined to keep it!

I paid about £25 less than that last xmas for the same machine, for the money it's an incredible machine.

Absolute bargain there then!

Also, forgot to state that I've had the same lance as for sale here for about 2 years I think, works fantastically and is without a doubt the best on the market for me. Anyone that buys it won't be disappointed.

This is what I have a great machine -> http://www.cleanstor...duct.asp?ID=999

I have this exact one from the same company, they're fantastic and it's a great PW for the money.

For me I normally use a small amount of my favourite shampoo along in a spray bottle and fill with water, I find this works great as clay lubricant.

If you do decide to use QD, (which would no doubt be useful for you in the future) then I'd recommend using quite a high dilution (for example 10 parts water 1 part QD) since as previously stated it can work with only water and not damage the paintwork.

Might be worth mentioning that people won't need to use this with every wash mate, as most people won't understand what an iron fallout remover is etc.

For me I probably use Purple Rain (or a similar product) 3-4 times a year or so, this therefore makes it sound more cost effective than it does in the previous post.

It can also be used on bodywork to remove contaminants that have built up over time. If I'm doing a full detail I'll often do the lower part of the car with this before I clay (along with a tar remover.) This way you can ensure that most of the contaminants within that area have been removed therefore leaving less for the clay bar to pick up reducing the chance of marring from the clay bar.

My personal recommendation is this, (I do it 3-4 times a year to ensure I have good wheel protection all year round:

Wash wheel with normal wheel cleaner to remove the loose dirt

Use Purple Rain to remove the more stubborn stuff (this also gives Purple Rain a chance to really get on the surface which increases it's performance.)

Clay the wheel if necessary.

Seal the wheel. (I use Planet Polish Wheel Seal & Shine, absolutely amazing stuff.)

Once you've done this then you'll only need to wash the wheel with normal shampoo whilst the protection lasts, it'll be insanely easy to wash and sometimes a hit with a pressure washer alone is enough for a perfectly clean wheel. (Protection using this process normally lasts 3-4 months for me.)

Once the protection has gone I'd normally repeat the above process.

Took a 500 mile round trip here when I had my Glanza to get a few bits fitted and for it to be mapped.

I had a great time, felt confident that the guys knew what they were doing and the car was absolutely spot on. Ran perfectly then and is still running perfectly now (a few years on!)

Top service from you chaps, and if the journey wasn't quite so long I'd have definitely returned again.

... Maybe I will one day, who knows?! ;)

Can't help but think you shot yourself in the foot with that to be honest, there are a number of reasons why you wouldn't be likely to get a refund from that situation.

That's a joke, sounds like you should've put up more of a fight! For me the price does seem a bit too good to be true, chances of a place called "Norfolk-Bargains" buying from Volk seems unlikely to me.

Refuses to give me a payback so just watch him/her!

Make sure you go through eBay then, I'm sure if you can provide proof then you'll have a solid case.

Also struggling to find him on eBay (UK), have you got a link to his profile?

Should be called Need For Forza imo, nothing like the game I know and love.

Rubbish.
