General Car Chat / Re: Scratch remover??

« on: 24 July 2012, 19:31:45 »

Wash
Clay
Auto glym srp.

Slightly more stubborn scratches. Mcguires scratchX2.

Thanks Chris have never tried clay heard of it so if this weather keeps up i know what i will be up to on sat.  

No mate. Trust me.
If its even remotely hot, don't go anywhere near it with the polish mentioned, unless your lucky enough to have a very well shaded area to work in. The paint will be so hot the polish will turn instantly to chalk and you'll have an even bigger mess on your hands.

Seriously. You need the car cool. So a dull over cast day, or possibly very late evening with the car well soaked and cooled by a hose first.

Also, follow the process, but one panel at a time. It's too much work for a day, never mind an evening, to do a whole car.

Polishing a hot car is totally hopeless.


Ps, clay. With detailer. Follow the instructions carefully. It's easy to put more scratches in than you take out. Be more OCD than an OCD person.

Thanks for the advise taken and noted thanks.

General Discussion Area / German F1 Qualifier

« on: 21 July 2012, 14:14:01 »

Just watched the German F1 Qualifier and i am mystified as to why Hamilton & Button only managed 7th & 8th in the rain ??. With the amount of water that;s fallen over Britain these last months these two should be flying,

Omega General Help / Re: help needed with timing

« on: 20 July 2012, 18:33:52 »

Easiest way for TDC on #1. Plug out and drop a screwdriver in the cylinder then turn the crank.
Did your mate remove the crank pulley

oh yes its off  

  ;
Timing mark on crank pulley will need to be at 6 o/clock then when cam sprockets are aligned

You have far to much knowledge Obe one.
