If the parked cars were on the cyclists side of the road, what are the chances of the cyclist stopping to give way to the car.. more than likely he would of just carried on cycling and squeezed through the gap. Just causing an issue out of nothing IMO.

Product: Wolfs Chemicals Blackout Reason: This is quite simply the best tyre dressing I've ever used. It has incredible beading properties. After a month and 2000miles the tyres are still beading away and are still a good shade of black. Simple wipe on and let it dry. Easily outlasts the likes of Meguiars Endurance. Has definitely earned its place as a permanent fixture in my detailing army.

My insurance is up for renewal soon. Quoted £2000 over the phone for renewal with admiral. Went online to admirals own website.. £900. And on confused.com.. £700. Same company, Same policy, 3 different prices. Madness.

Autobrite have the best deals I've come across for the flex machines

For the price this product certainly punches well above its weight

A duster.. also very useful at this time of year for getting the pollen off that seems to constantly cover the car http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000007.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2epolishedbliss%2eco%2euk%2facatalog%2fcar-care-products-shop-by-category%2ehtml&WD=lamb&PN=pb-lambswool-duster-cat11%2ehtml%23aMELD0001#aMELD0001

An "IPA wipedown" would most normally be done after polishing. It will remove any left over polish residue so that your surface is now clean for you to apply your protection, Wax, Sealant etc. In theory your protection will bond better as there is no left over residue in the way. Your bottle should have a % on it, most likely around 99%. You then dilute it down with water so that it would become something like 15% / 25%,(everyone will tell you different), or there abouts. I then put this into a spray bottle, spray onto the car and wipe off.

A work colleagues computer was on the receiving end of cryptolocker, easy enough to remove the virus but all files were corrupted.

Whilst it won't achieve the same results as hours of prep work and a good show wax, there is certainly products out there for people who don't want the do all the prep work and still achieve satisfactory results. For example, Soft99 Fusso Coat wax, not my picture but this car has had no prep work and just 2 layers of the wax applied. Should supposedly provide 12 months of protection and only costs around £26.

Not sure if you are aware but that Flex machine is a DA rather than a Rotary. Autobrite also currently has the Flex machines on sale at the moment: http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/index.php/sale-items.html

Product: 303 Aerospace Protectant Reason: Incredibly versatile product that can be used on trim, interior, engine bay etc. Easy to use, spray on, wipe off. Gives a great a finish just how it would look when new. Repels against many things like dirt and oil. Beads well. And also protects against UV. Have used many similar products but nothing comes close to this IMO. Product: Meguiars Super Degreaser Reason: Great product for removing those slightly tougher deposits. When cleaning up my brake calipers etc. It removed deposits with ease that APC just couldn't touch. Also works out relatively inexpensive, even at the lowest recommended dilution ratio.

I'll pop along too

Not used them personally, but know a few people who have and have been very pleased with the service/job. Only ever heard good things about them.

Apologies I haven't seen this in a while, Turbo was sold several weeks ago along with the sale of my car. Was never advertised on ebay so must of been someone else selling the same thing, will lock thread now to avoid any further confusion.
