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

    • 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 . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
