  5. Cavity wax in doors?

    How are you getting on with the waxing sly?

     

    I pullout out the door kicks and sprayed into the holes there - loads of wax dripped out onto the drive.  

     

    Whats the difference between doing that and the skirts- are they connected or completely different

  15. Post your CELICA pic of the day:ONE PIC PER PERSON PER DAY PLEASE!

    Tried out the meguiars hybrid ceramic spray. Only use if your paint is clean. Read a few complaints about it but I believe it's from those not prepping first and it leaves v stubborn streaks if you don't.

    Meguiars instructions are to wash then spray. Wipe down then reapply spray and hose down. I just sprayed and wiped once yesterday once today after a wash with a damp cloth then buffed off. No smears.

     

    Should be ok to use by ccuk members as everyone here has a Clean car and as obsessed as I .

    Im sure there is something wrong with me - Im weekly waxing atm  - just love how water beads on the paint.  I'd prefer it if it didn't rain, and love well looked after paint on a summers day

     

    Akuma Im going to look for some auto bright after seeing your car it looks something special

    What have I done today - changed car oil ( ahead of service interval as usual)

     

     - obsessed with cleaning atm  - 

     

    Meguiar’s G3626EU Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax 768ml - only use this the day after a wash never for a full wash (even though this is what its intended for) 

    Meguiar's G8216EU Perfect Clarity Glass Cleaner 473 ml - great product

    Sonax Xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer 750ml - used this after reading about it here on these forums - addicted to it now.

     

    I have always loved paintwork in prime condition, that smooth creamy feel that relects all your hard work, however the best is on a gorgeous summer day and the paintwork looks like you could dive into it.

     

    (Oh and does anyone else get gently excited when you hose the car and the hydrophobic quality are clear to see - the water runs off like its allergic to the paint - or when driving down the motorway you dont need the windscreen wipers as the water just beads off the windscreen)

     

     

    Thanks

    Thanks

     

    Had a good look at the brakes and they don't actually need replacing yet (thought they did but always good to get prepared)  -  they just need a service as normal  -  front right has so much more brake dust build up than left.  

     

    However ill research "autosessive " for future.     I try look at corporate here before looking elsewhere.

     

    The "squeal" (its ear splitting) I get from them atm makes people stop and turn  - just like when I had a nova  (1.3L, 1.4 sr, 1.4sri, GSI) as a teenager  going under a bridge - knocking the ignition off pumping the accelerator and turning the ignition back on under bridge then boooooommmmmm

     

    I'm sure some pedestrians had to pick themselves up off the floor after - but that was then and pre catalayst converter 1993?  and I'm not as immature now well...........
