  14. cheers for the good comments guys im itching to finish the whole car!!! but its basically a oversized ice lolly at the moment :P Andy , how much you willing to pay :lol:
  15. i do agree with the insurance thing , however i did have my bike insured when i first got it, and tbh wasnt worth the paper it was written on, so binned it off. the thing with if you had to have insurance , how will kids afford to pay for it?
  16. why thank you gav :P megs tech wax indeed does have fillers in, its not exactly a very durable wax though, i do use it but only on 'customers' cars for a quick shine. if i was you id nip to halfords and get some autoglym super resin polish which also has 'fillers' in. then go over with the wax id also polish one panel at a time then remove straight away, do the full car , then in this weather i would wax the full car, by the time you have gone round leave it for 10 mins and remove with a fresh microfibre cloth. should do the trick , although as said, tech wax isnt very durable so most likly wont last long :(
  17. seeing as its winter and not much detailing/valeting happens i thought id share a quick go on my e46 titan silver . ive only done the bonnet as havnt had much time to do the full works. any way last week i decided i had a spare half hour and some new products to have a go at :D first job was as usual to wash the car (full car) after drying i clayed the bonnet using autoglym clay. ( im only concentrating on the bonnet by the way) after claying i used demon shine with a microfibre for a quick wipe up of any mess. then it was onto dodo juice lime prime with a DA polisher using a finishing pad. works in really well the lime prime, and a little lasts ages. worked that into the bonnet in roughly 6 sections at a time. polished that off then used dodo juice supernatural, left to cure for around 15-20 mins then buffed off, today i gave the car another wash then did another coat of dodo supernatural to leave this have to say myself im well pleased with the depth of the paint using the dodo products, well worth the money in my eyes :D any comments as usual welcome
  18. were is it earthed to? also have you got the cables running near each other as i believe if there to close it can cause probs
  19. welcome to the club :D
  20. welcome to the club as said, we need pics :D
  21. possibly? working now so all good, prob still look into why it was doing it though
  22. problem all fixed took the battery off and gave it a good charge (24 hrs) all sorted, so putting it down to not having enough electric in the battery which the car was kinda telling me about, if only i new that in the first place! anyway, all fixed cheers for your help guys
