Clay bars are wonderful things I did my car a few months ago and it went from black to drawing light into it black.

To any one who has a white car...clay bar it. I didnt know my car could get THAT white!

True story. Best car cleaning product ever lol.

I was surprised at how little effort is required to get such a good result, defs the best, I am gonna give the poor little mazda a going over too!

must look at it. mine is a faded crusty white. if it will tidy that up then I will buy that product.

[Beelzebub89]

It's a prepping product before polishing. Gets all the shit that gets absorbed into the paint, tree sap, tar etc out. Clay, Polish and wax/sealer and you'll be good. or Clay and wax if your not too worried about swirl marks n shit.

I don't know if I'm goin to have time to get the car fully prepped for the SCC. Might only have time for a wash and a wax Been six months since she was clayed last and she is in dire need of a good polish.

[Chris Rogers]

to be honest my van will have a wash but it will still have a BIG ding in the side of it.

subaru will get a wash.

still undecided which one to drive. if I drive the subaru I will have trouble keeping my foot off the gas..

I would give it a go, It pulls so much crap out of the paint

clay bar is win. did mine shortly after buying the car. get rid of all that japan style smog thats been ground in over years. you should only do it every few years, as it will take off a layer of clear coat while its doing its thing, and make sure you keep it wet and very clean.....drop it on the ground and you can throw it away. strange considering it is from the ground.....

McFry!

What's the plan for SCC? Do you want me to meet you at your place? Or meet you at Hyperhole? If Hyperhole, I'll need a lift back in that direction afterwards

[PWND]

might have to google this whole claybar thing

never used one, but hopefully will have time on sat to get the car up to reasonable shape for scc

[Isola]

Claybars are awesome. But they take a lot of time and wear your arm out!

Must be engine fire weekend or something

I have a bit of a problem with my taxi at the moment - we have pulled the gauges out of my car and one of them was an oil temp one, so I took the sandwich plate out (the one between the oil filter and the block) and fitted a new oil filter on. First of all it started leaking ALOT, tightened it up and it was fine. Went for a drive and it started driving like crap, got home and it had dropped the oil again.

I'm wondering if when they have fitted the oil temp sandwich plate in, have they removed something that was meant to be there before hand? Does anyone know if there's a stock plate that's meant to be sitting there? It's a Barra 182 from a XR6.

This afternoon I'm going to bang the old sandwich plate back on to get it going again, hopefully..... it works.

If the engine is blown I might as well pull it out and put a barra 240T in there, might buy a 32 pig or something if that happens.

Front yard mechanic pro tip: Check to see if the Oring comes off the old oil filter before you put the new one on.

In other news, there's further developments to having a 26 powered veehick-le in my g-raj .

Morning Mangs,

Long weekend was good. Back at work today is not so good .

Flying wedge is mobile again

Where are we meeting this week?

McFry!

What's the plan for SCC? Do you want me to meet you at your place? Or meet you at Hyperhole? If Hyperhole, I'll need a lift back in that direction afterwards

If you can get to my place at around 8:45 that'd be grand, because I won't have to take you home afterwards . I probably have to do some work in the afternoon (from home) so if I only have to go home from lakeside (not via aspley) we'll be able to stay at SCC longer

they take a lot of time and wear your arm out!

That's what she said.

[Beelzebub89]

Mangs is anyone keen for a car wash meet this week since BnR is out? Anyone know a self serve car wash that is fairly central?

[Smity42]

keen if your sister is going to wash my car in a bikini

[Beelzebub89]

You ask her, I won't object. Thinking the Zoom carwash in Chermside? Too far for the southsiders?

[Bunta]

ohhhh unlucky I just made that same joke on the other site FUUUUUUUUUUU now I look like a copier! ha ha

[Bunta]

there is a good carwash at greenslops on Logan Road
