Not sure if StinkyPoo and CeeJay are planning on being in it but it's looking pretty good...

Just a thought... How many of these would be likely to be printed??? Would there be a market for them amongst the rest of SAU??? Not just the ACT???

Edited by Not a Pulsar

ahh Cejay - forgot to pm you.

Did about an hours work on a friends car this morning just to demonstrate the difference. and took a few pics of what's possible.

Unfortunately wont upl;oad due to size

Richard, do you have Windows Paint on your PC? If so...

1) Open the image with Paint.

2) directly below Edit (up top) select the box called "select".

3) then right click on the pic and select "Stretch/Skew".

4) where it says "horizontal 100%" and "Vertical 100%", change both to 50%,.

5) Click OK.

Voila!!! Image is Shrunken!!!

6) then goto Edit (top left) and save as a Jpeg with a different name.

7) upload that one.

Boom...

Should chuck up a pic of that little section on the boot you did to demonstrate what the results are without putting wax on, still a massive improvement!

Also yes everyone I know how horrific that paint looks :(

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
