    Humidor

    Unfortunately I haven't been lucky enough to go to Cuba to get some. A friend of mine sent me a few as a gift and started to get into them now. Another expensive hobbie to go with the Corrado Im using a make shift humidor made from a tupawear box the ceader box they came in and some wet Cotten wool pads. I had a nice American one last night really nice and smooth. I have a cohiba rubosto, Romeo y Juliet and a 1874 one to try out next.

    Humidor

    As above Looking for a Cigar Humidor, what you got?
  6. Thanks, ya it is surprising how little I got, just goes to show what a difference it can make washing it after every use. Hi mate I'm in Cinderford. I can try and get you in but unfortunately I havnt got any weekends off untill after the show. I know the week before the show I either have Monday Tuesday off or Tuesday Wednesday off. If thats any good to you? Cheers mate, Ya the weather has been a nightmare Thank you. Umm I would guess it is built up of brake dust as thats where it all ways builds up in those corners. Try using AG alloy wheel cleaners as it works very well. If it doesnt come off with the brush try using your fingers. I find my finger is some times better at removing dirt in corners than the wheel brush. I also found the move exspensive the wheel cleaner is the better it works. I bought some cheap stuff before and it didnt do anything. Just make sure you dont leave it on too long and rinse it off with plenty of clean water (I have a hose pipe next to me) you cant go wrong. :thumbleft:
  7. After the tape was removed the whole car was then given a going over with Poor boys black hole, AG paint sealant then Collinite 476 wax to seal in and protect the paint. And here is how the car looked at the end. Really loved the colour in the sun once finished and the blue flakes whilst in the sun are absolutely amazing. Dude VR6 in the reflection The little helpers :D And the money shots. I was really pleased with the way the car came out and also very impressed with the overall condition of the whole car considering the mileage. Also a big thanks to Wendy for the bacon sarny and pizza to keep me going and Dude VR6 for spotting the odd bit of dust I missed :thumbleft:
  8. Well after god knows how many emails and canceled appointments I finally managed to get over to Wendy's to clean her car. We could of writen a book on how many dates we sent only to be canceled for several reasons but mainly the weather. Yesterday I went over to See her to finally give her can a good polish and clean. She was a bit further than I originally thought, but wasnt too fused as it was a nice drive over. Leaving mine at 6 and got there just after 8. To find Wendy out ready with the pressure washer. As Wendy had to leave at 4 I set to work. This is how the car was when I arrived. First off was a clean followed by a clay bar. Was really impressed with how little was coming off on the clay bad as the paint was very clean as it was. Can see a few swirl marks. Next the plastics were all taped up ready for the machine polish. Each panel was given two passes with the machine polisher followed by a hand polish. As stated in the original post I was only using the finishing pad and speed glaze past. So I would not of been able to remove the swirl or scratches but it would improve the overall appearance of the car by rounding off the edges of the marks, which would scatter the light better and there for improving the look of the car.
  9. Best of luck mate. But You'll be back ;) :D
  10. Might be a crank sensor? I had a problem on a *cough*clio*couch* :oops: where it wouldnt turn over as the sensor was faulty
  11. If its my old one thats playing up, your not forgetting the immobilisers are you? caught me out many times after turning the engine off then go to start it again and get nothing.
  12. Is this the one that will fit in the rado? Got a mate looking for one.
