Armourall extreme tyre shine. It doesnt stick on the tyre properly, consequensly it flies off the tyre and will go around the guards and when you wash the car the paintwork will go all specaly. My cars black so it wasnt too bad, but its damaged the paintwork (cut and polish should fix it) but it shouldnt have happened in the first place.

I use a product called '303 Aerospace Protectant' - absolutely brilliant on all rubber and plastic, UV resistant and really brings plastics back from the dead.

A boring fact is it was developed for NASA for use on plastics on satellites or some such thing :P

Only know of two places in perth that sell it really though, which is a bummer. Harder to get hold of then some of the Meguiars products :D

yeah, the foaming armourall is the one I use, never had a problem with it... except if you get some on the rims and havent cleaned them yet, cos it partly cleans them and leaves a bit of a streak... but if the last thing you do when you clean your car is the tyres, then it's not a problem.... Like Psiko said, it's not a black coat, it's a tyre cleaner....

I dont want to seem pedantic, but why is it we can tell people to avoid products of certain companies, while threads mentioning bad things about tuning shops and the like are locked in a matter of minutes?

Are larger corporations allowed to be criticised?

If thats the case id like to take issue with:

Microsoft

Exxon

Enron

Worldcom

Mayne Group

Stern Lecture Plumbing

Thankyou. :P

Just a general heads-up about this product. It seems, from what most people say, this is common of other tyre shine products. I think thats acceptable. I didnt go all out and critisise the company or product, I didnt "bad mouth" them. Armourall have agreed to refund my purchase and I'm happy about that. I've used their other tyre shine product, which can also be used on your dash/interior, on my tyres and it worked great, so I thought I'd give this one a try.

Kiwi shoe polish works fine for me ........... !!!!

Hey guys, why's everyone so touchy in WA at the moment? I've been reading and watching for a coupla months before I felt I could offer anything sensible. And in that time, it all seems to have gone down a coupla notches in quality, with people sniping at each other. Is there too much iron in the water or something?

Cheers.

P.S. OK - sorry - off topic, I know. Mea Culpa.

The tyre has to be f#cken clean first, and your suppose to wipe off any excess. If you drive off with the tyre dripping with tyre shine what do expect??

Buy the pressure pack ones, turtle wax one or the......... cant remember the name, comes in a blue can. Good shit anyway.

Or you could go to a bike shop and buy "Super Motorcycle Shine". Sounds gay, works fuggen brilliantly! Between that and "Plexus", my bike comes up a million dollars, and it works well on cars too ... it just takes longer thanks to being about five times bigger :D

    • Wiring the car up today so will report back for anyone else that searches this in future.
    • The light comes on from low oil pressure. Not temp. Did you do a rebuild or just add an ecu etc?  What oil are you using and where are you getting the pressure reading from
    • So like the title says my 97 rs4v has a oil temp sensor but no triple gauges as it was originally factory navigation. My current setup is not using the factory oil pressure sensor as I'm running a link ecu and a real sensor.  I did leave the oil temp sensor in. So now as I was working on first start up and bleeding coolant I get the oil light on the dash faintly as the oil temp gets to about 60-70c. Oil pressure is 45psi at idle at the same time.  I'm wondering if the temp sender doing this?  
    • Well it runs again!  This was a definite case of while I have it apart lol Everything except the body and interior has been restored, refinished, or replaced.  @socal_stagea is my IG if you're bored and want to see all the pics.
    • I already got plug and play Link ecu G4X. Main concern is that the de loom works on s1 motor or not? I already rewired injector and coils loom to suit my bosch injectors and bosch vag coil. I’m not running any Iacv. For cas running the nz wiring kit i bought the neo plug one so it suits the wiring but don’t know it works or it doesn’t matter they work the same on every motor. For wastegate solenoid do i need to wire straight from ecu? What can i do for iat sensor to work or same run from ecu? For Vct solenoid, right now i got s1 vct solenoid on motor so do i need to remove neo connector and add s1 connector to work? Any other thing i missed i need to do to make the motor working on de loom. Any different mechanism on neo vs s1?
