What Detailing / Car Care Products Have You Bought / Ordered Today?

[tcardio]

GTechiq G1 glass coating.

Used it on my last four cars with great success. It’s ****** amazing stuff, and seems to last ages. Wipers are generally no longer needed at speed, and ice/snow/frost/dirt etc seems to simply fall off. For those of you aren’t fans of housework it’s also brilliant on bath and shower screens at home, and amazing on patio doors.

TBH with you mate, even without glass sealant, nothing sticks to glass on a tesla in ludicrous mode

Just ordered a bottle of this for the steering wheel and seats. Going to use sonax alcantara cleaner for the top and bottom on the steering wheel.

My car sits outside in the never ending rain, and the ceramic coat seems to get clogged up pretty quick with I assume to be hard water, leaving water spots on my glass, and losing hyrophonicity. Once I wash it with reset it comes back pretty well, but I'm guessing there's a lot of lime in the water, so today I bought a product called Purifica by Labocosmetica which is a lime removing shampoo, and also some Koch Chemie FSE which is a quick detailer that can remove lime scale. Looking forward to testing it

Looking forward to hearing your results, you wouldn’t believe how hard the water is round me, it’s practically sand running through our pipes...

Deary me Grant.....A Tesla.................where has your passion and imagination gone off too??

Oh , it’s still there, and I was apprehensive about it right up to the day it arrived. The sense of passion was was just stunned into acceptance of the “other way” by the sudden realisation that I was spending enough on fuel every month to finance another decent car. As a life long engineer in the business of generating the ‘angry pixies’, electric motoring has long been on my personal horizon anyway, So, a bold experiment commenced to find the answer, can I live with an electric car as my only car?

A Nissan Leaf I borrowed a couple of years ago said ‘No’. No way, forget it, this is just to much of a pain to live with. It sold me on the concept, but the downsides were awful. 100 mile range added yet another layer of torment to the visit to the mother-in-law since she’s 55 miles away. Waiting at the only public charger for miles while some utter bell-end hogged the charger to top up his hybrid Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV nearly had me raging as the fake EV owner denied me my escape. The drive though was quite pleasant. Moreover it was quiet, and quiet equals relaxing. More range required, definitely more performance needed, and the compulsory sterilisation of all hybrid owners who plug in anywhere outside of home is a must, but that first foray into electric had promise.

In the meantime, I electrified a bicycle. Suddenly I had enough power to go anywhere, even ‘up’ flights of stairs, and could cruise along at over 30mph, with a range sufficient to cycle all day for only 12p a charge. The fuel costs are tiny.

The arrival in the uk last June of the Model 3 Tesla meant a decent affordable car with long range and access to the Tesla supercharger network, at a stroke removing obstacle #1 from the long list of potential downsides of EV’s, the PITA factor of public charging networks. They truly are awful. Standing about in the rain for 20minutes playing with a multitude of apps on your phone trying to get the chargers to talk to your car is painful. I was going to get the jag I-pace, but the reliance on these awful chargers prevented it. Tesla Superchargers are widespread, fast and only Tesla’s can use them. Mr selfish in his poxy plug in can go boil his head, as he’s not allowed near them. They’re also easy. Drive up, plug in, the charge starts immediately and pumps juice in so fast you can be on your way with 200 miles of added range after a quick pee and a coffee. Range issues are eradicated, since there’s always a supercharger or a half decent public D.C. charger within reach. This means you can treat an electric car like any other, with the added bonus that you can fill it up at home, meaning you start each and every day with a full tank. This alone eradicates the need for filling up away from home on all but the longest journeys. I haven’t been to petrol station since November.

As for the passion? To be honest, the Tesla has all the handling feel of the S3 (i.e. minimal) with a lot more space, extreme quiet, the ability to drive itself in traffic jams, and enough standing start performance to rearrange internal organs. They’re often accused of being one trick ponies, drag race specialists, and rubbish in corners, but since that was by and large the way I felt about my S3, I’m no worse off in that regard. It’s fine for the average mortal, and there is nothing in the world that will beat off the line without attracting the attention of the old bill. It’s a silent missile,

I now have a comfortable c.500hp four wheel drive saloon car with a rear drive bias, that goes like a rocket and yet still does the equivalent of 120mpg. I’m loath to be one of those ****** EV evangelists that constant bang on about the future, but honestly, my faithful old Volvo, and especially my current Ford ranger, both now feel like I’m driving stephensons rocket in comparison.

I’m also 3000 miles in, and I’ve only spent £100 on ‘fuel’. There’s definitely something in this electric car lark...

Ok, at the risk of going totally off-topic and risking the e-wrath of the moderators, I’ll summarise.

Firstly, it on you’re state of charge at the time, and where you charge it.

Day to day, it only charges to a level set on the dash or on your phone, rather than to 100%. This is for three reasons;
1/ charging to 100% all the time isn’t very good for the battery. It’s ok once in a while for long trips, but to do it everyday when you don’t need to would degrade the battery.
2/ charging to 100% leaves no room at all for regeneration. This means you lose the ability to use one pedal driving, a feature that is wired at first, but becomes second nature in minutes.
3/ that final 10% takes forever. Like all batteries, you can hammer charge into them when they’re nearly empty, but it slows down toward the end.

Taking a typical day then, I’ll start with a charge of 90%, do the commute of 25 miles each way, go to the supermarket, pub, etc and end up home with say 60%. Plug in at home and it’ll take 3 hours to charge back up, add 23kWh, and cost about £3 on an average 13p a unit tariff. If your smart metered up and go for low overnight cost tariff, it’ll be about £1.80.

If you convince your employer to add workplace charging, you charge it there and it’s free...

if you need to supercharge, then you pay a bit more, but you’ll cram in 200 miles of range in minutes rather than hours. I topped up 20%. (About65miles) in 10 minutes for a cost of £3.60.

Very well written mate, and hard to argue against I reckon

 

[GSB]

The looks are... challenging. You get no argument from me there. I can accept that some of this is probably down to the different architecture of an EV and the need for the ‘skateboard’ (a 5 inch thick slab of batteries under the floor), some is undoubtedly due to the need for aero efficiency to increase range, but I suspect the lions share of the fugly in Tesla’s comes from one source. Franz Von Holzhausen.

He’s the pen behind the looks, but his CV prior to Tesla is hardly bursting with lookers. The VW beetle relaunch? Gopping. The Pontiac Solstice? Pass the eye bleach. Every single car he’s turned his quill to is a bit of a munter. You get used to it, but there is a certain bulkiness about the rear three quarter that I just can’t get over.

The dashboard however is a revelation. It takes a while to get used to but driving it for the first time I realised something that made me question perceived wisdom on these matters. I’ve spent years, as I imagine have you, placing the steering wheel on my cars ‘just so’. Not so it was comfortable, but so I could see the dials... In this car you put the feel where it feels right, no need to compromise to see the speedo properly. This single revelation about this fundamental compromise we’ve been making for decades was quite startling. The screen size is an oddity that soon makes sense too. Trying to read tiny displays of maps on the move is dangerous. Make it bigger and it can be understood at a glance. On top of that the interface is brilliant. Light years ahead of Audi. Point of reference? the step from pre-facelift S3 media system to the one in the facelift S3 was a giant leap. CarPlay, virtual cockpit, B&O sound, touch sensitive control knob. Lovely... But Tesla’s system makes that facelift S3 system look like a Speak ‘n’ Spell. It’s hyper intuitive, it works, and it’s safer to use. The entire dash is one long sound bar, and you get a lot of useful info. Fords new system combines touch with a rotary knob inset to the display, and may well prove to be even better.

The car is not without its faults. Some of them are so gob smackingly awful it’s like they were designed in by a five year old. Take for instance a bootlid that dumps half a gallon of rainwater in the boot when you open it. Or automatic wipers so useless you’d swear they were broken, coupled with a fiddly (dangerous) menu on the touchscreen to turn them on. Utter crap. But get this... In the time I’ve had the car, they’ve fixed the wipers with a new control interface and new software. It just happened while parked in my driveway, no need for a dealer visit, a phone call, or even an email. At the same time they bumped the power up for me by 5%. Didn’t ask for it, didn’t pay for it, but overnight the car got faster.. It’s the second time they’ve done that. When I ordered it it had 440 hp, now it’s knocking on 500...

It also got an upgrade to increase peak charging current, add Netflix to the interface, improve lane keeping on autopilot, make the cruise control smoother, and all sorts of other things. There is of course always a danger that what can be upgraded over the air can also be downgraded over the air, and in that respect it really is an iPhone on four wheels. But so, so very very impressed.

Good write up(s) on the Tesla. I'm personally not a huge fan of them, but can't argue in the next 5-10 years there'll be a lot more choice and we get these OTA updates on phones so no surprises cars are heading the same way.

Cant be bothered putting wax on manually cause haven't got a DA so hence thought KC wax may be worth a try.
Might have to invest in a DA at some point.

I used Sonax BSD for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I am amazed by it for £8 for a 750ml bottle. Wash/dry the car as usual and treat it as a quick detailer as the name suggests. Literally leaves no smearing, such easy application. The shine is great for a spray on detailer but the best bit for me is the water behaviour. Incredible beading and sheeting. for £8 from euro car parts it's an absolute steal.

Looks like a decent machine. I’ve got an old Karcher K7.85. Had it fir at least 10 years, and apart from a couple of burst hoses it’s been bombproof. It’s pretty hefty, just under 30kg, which means it needs the wheels it comes on. 2800 Watts means plenty of pressure and plenty of flow for proper washing, it’s about as big as I’d go for a domestic unit.

looking at the the specs of the (unfortunately named) Big Boi, it pumps just as much water and develops just as much pressure as my old K7, but at only half the weight and for a lot loss energy input. I guess that’s progress for you.
