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

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
