    Dont like elephant anymore!

    Rich, I'd watch out for the 10 month bonus accelerator plan anyway. When I was calling other companies for quotes they warned me that not many other companies accept the elephant 10 month bonus accelerator as a proper years NCB. It would seem that just about the only company that does accept...

    zymol or swiszol?

    Personally I use Swissol. I have tried Zymol and although it's very good Swissol is just as good if not better, and its so much easier to work with. As you have probably experienced, with Zymol you really need to do the car as they suggest - a 2' by 2' area at a time. Leave the HD cleanse or...

    Power washers

    wouldn't touch the brush mate - got the same kit and those bristles just seem a touch harsh for my liking. Are we likely to see you at the wycombe meet this month - I need to get on and post details but its the same place as before. Next Tuesday (20th) from about 7:30

    Power washers

    Personally I do like them - aslong as you don't get too close with them as they can get into stone chips and lift the paint off, usually on the bumper - (found out the hard way). But they are great for getting bugs off (especially off wiper arms and the driver's side wiper spoiler), and...

    Speed Cameras

    no Alex, got it just before, possibly a camera, possibly a van. Jo, they aren't saying that speeding in built up areas is acceptable, What they ARE saying that using the motorist as a source of revenue is unacceptable. This is why they are calling for sensible policing of roads and penalising...

    Speed Cameras

    yes, spotted them on Friday. Wasn't sure if it was catching people going up or down. possibly both! There isn't an instant graemlin that fits how they make me feel so these will have to do -

    Speed Cameras

    As you may or may not have seen in some of the papers last week / weekend, it would appear that finally speeding fines have been shown to be nice little earners for just about every police force in the country and are seemingly used purely for generating revenue. It would also appear that the...

    Interior Glass cleaning...

    I have found autoglym glass polish to be about the best. Wipe it on, let it dry, buff it off. If you're using it on a damp day then warm the car up first otherwise the polish doesn't dry and it takes ages to get it off.

    Cleaning inside your wheels

    Depends what wheels you have, if its the ones in your picture then it looks like you should be able to get your hands in to clean them. If you have Avus then it's going to be a bit harder. If you keep on top of it then just a wipe with wheel cleaner and rinse will do the trick but thats still...

    Quickest Way to clean alloys?

    Well mate, if your wheels are already cleanish (and car - no kitty prints on the bonnet please ) then easy. What I do is spray the wheel with a bit of swissol wheel cleaner and wipe clean and dry with a micro fibre cloth then buff with a clean dry towel. 5 mins job done.

    Cleaning Engine

    Wait til the engine is quite cool, then spray autoglym engine cleaner all over it and the underside of the bonnet, and the bonnet shuts and engine surrounds, then pressure wash it all off! Redress the plastic once it has dried

    got egged

    No idea if it will work but you could try a clay bar. They have been mentioned in the thread about watermarks if you want to find out more.
