wet sand extremely bad paint job... just a 2 stage buff.... because Commodore -
ok so just give Wheely Clean a go ... I tried on a mates VX commodore with very dirty wheels ,i let it sit and not alot happened after i hosed it... So I did have to use a brush to agitate it to get it to work properly...but with little agitation it foams up heaps and It did a great job. The wheels were almost spotless after 1 quick scrub... Tried it on my Honda wheels which of course are more looked after, but still havent been washed for quite a while and were very dusty...Practically spotless after 1 application..very pleased.. You need to buy it in bulk to be cost effective so I will be buying a larger bottle of this stuff for sure....I hate hand washing wheels

Which Fuel Rail Rb25 Top Feed And Id1000 Size
ARTZ replied to danb85's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Any RB rail will fit...injector length is irrelephant...as you say juts make spacers to fit... -
Always good to let any car idle for 30-60 seconds to let oil get around the engine...if you listen with a keen ear you will notice the engine note change and get a little quieter...

If there's clunking, yeah you probably killed it

Hks Rb25 Exhaust Manifold , Worth It ?

yeah i get the feeling finishing is something that often gets given to the new recruits to do...I've never actually used a lambswool pad only foam...but i know many PBs still do and to be fair, some do get good results.I guess its what you know..good lighting can also make all the difference. cornflour? thats new to me.. this is a botched paint job i'm working on atm, the paint is terrible, its all different thicknesses and I dont know if it was even buffed..theres alot of peel, hell it barely has a reflection.. wet sand 1500,2000,3000 and after just 1 pass with a buff it has a reflection again.. im yet to finish it but 1 more buff and it should look golden once again...if i have time or it needs it i might hit it a third time

Just get a good carnuba (or similar) wax and practice practice good washing procedures, I have found that is where most people fail... DO NOT SCRUB YOUR CAR CLEAN!! NEVER GO THROUGH AN AUTOWASH!! NEVER USE A CARWASH BRUSH!!! Assuming your PB has done a good job that doesnt need correcting.. Which we all hope he has!..If he hasn't you may need some correction work done..in which case seek help The simplest way is my favourite.... Just clay bar it and apply a good Carnuba or similar wax. after that the most you should ever have to do is a light wash with a soft mitt and a light soap, you will find the dirt just falls off...Once a fortnight wash is fine, but if you see something like for eg.birdshit or tree sap, wash it off asap...even if you just go to the carwash and hit it with a hose... Then once every six months, wash it with good strong dishwashing detergent to remove your old wax and contaminents, then claybar and reapply your wax...NB.. if you use a liquid wax like NXT 2.0 you will need to reapply every 3 months..My panel beater actually recomended this as his preferred method and his car looks amazing ..i still prefer a proper Carnuba myself Pretty simple really and results will last for years, decades even...the longer you can stay away from a buff the better... most of the fancy products you find on the market these days including buffers are there to fix/mask the problem of people not maintaining the paint properly in the first place... But if you have a new car or paint and you want to try something a bit fancier with a little extra protection, talk to user Mavric on here. I believe he has a good product that might be good for what you want...

love your work as always Matt I did an old Saab today...I wont lie this thing had amazing duco on it already but it was badly scratched, no doubt from bad washing procedures... only had a few hours with it unfortunately so a 2 stage polish and wax was all I could do.. -
degreaser , may need to rinse and repeat depending how dirty, followed with some dishwashing liquid....too easy

No Fuel Pressure In The Lines When Engine Is Off
ARTZ replied to kosmo90's topic in General Maintenance
no thats a dampner...the line form the reg should go to the dampner... the fuel filter goes to the other one...Plenty of people have made the same mistake... -
