    Hello!

    Welcome!
  5. Except the hot pipes are crap
  6. Rebuild GT box Matt? I love the way my GT shifts
  7. I wired mine to have the bottom ones just working as sidelights, but yes if you want a fog light to be one of the two bottom lights, then you'll need a dual filament holder to work as sidelight and fog
  8. Quality nice one guys
  9. I want to get everything out of it I can if I'm paying that much for a machine haha Do you been buffed off with a pad or just buffed on and wiped off by hand?
  10. Cool cool, I'm still browsing around at kits at the moment so I can't say whether I'd be in on the GB, don't want to be buying it separately if a kit with pads & polish works out cheaper! Since we're on the topic of DAs, do you guys know if you can apply wax eg Collinite 476 (which I have) with a finishing pad to speed up the process?
  11. Woww! I was looking at kits with 2/3 polishes and a set of 3 pads working out at about £130ish? What else did you buy?
  12. What would that GB include? Good to hear Asad, been wanting one for years now
  13. No problem I was gonna go for the sander ones after reading up on Detailing World, they apparently used to sell for £20! I've not looked about too much for the Kestrel but they start at £85 alone, but a full kit with polishes and pads starts at £120. I'm thinking to just go for a full kit now, I'm sure I'll have the chance to recooperate some money by doing friends/family cars anyway and you know the machine is a quality bit of kit! EDIT: Hou I'm scared of using a rotary, I want something foolproof haha. Thanks for the advice, I think I'm going to look at DAS6 kits and see which polishes they have! Asad how do you rate the DAS6? Worth it?
  14. Sadly those things are pants! I bought one a few years back and hand polishing is 10x better The ones I'm looking at are like this http://priceprobe.co.uk/macallister-random-orbital-sander-mos450c-450w.p9272516 http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cros2-contractor-150mm-random-orbital-sander The prices however seem to have inflated quite a bit! I'm thinking to just plump for a Kestrel DAS6 now as they're only £30-40 more than the DA sanders but can achieve full paint correction!
  15. Only thing is that's air powered! I'm looking at a Macallister/Performance pro one from B&Q, think they're between £20 and £40ish There's also a Clarke one for about £55 which still undercuts the cheapest DA polishers that I've seen (Kestrel DAS6 @ £85)
  16. I'm looking to buy a cheap DA Sander to use as a polisher, I know they aren't as good as the Kestrel or Meguiar's items that are dedicated specifically for polishing but they are good for light to medium levels of paint correction. So I just wanted to ask what range of polishes people would recommend, as Auto Glym SRP is more of a filler based polish than one the corrects the paint. I'm looking at: Meguiar's #80 and #83 Poorboy's SSR1, SSR2, SSR2.5 Menzerna Super Finish PO106FA, Final Finish PO85RD I've had a look around on detailing world but just wanted to see if anyone had any experience of these polishes specifically with out soft Toyota paint! I'm swaying toward Poorboys as the bottles are huge for the price (500ml for £13) and they can be used in the sun! Amjad
  17. Tracking is all normal on my Meisters with max +ive camber (Whiteline ALK) Camber is set to -1.2 on front and I have -0.5ish on the rear
  18. Thanks for the info, very interesting
  19. I'd find it impossible to do without soaking it, the stuff I had was so slippery even wet!
  20. Just reminded me I think my car still has 14 year old HT leads lol
  21. 21 jump street was a laugh Everyone's been banging on about avengers I need to see it already! What is the verdict on dictator?
