Pashley26 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 People go mad for a brand called G Techniq. I don't though, I think it leaves a very artificial two dimensional finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Whats that water repellent stuff that you guys were bumming last year? Supposed to be better than rain x? Gtechniq G1 yeah. What's a 2d finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 It makes the windscreen look all funny. And don't get me started on paint sealants...haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Wicked, cheers chaps. Is 15ml enough for 2 cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Wicked, cheers chaps. Is 15ml enough for 2 cars? Depends on the size of the car but I used one bottle just on the clio alone. But that's with giving every window 3 coats. Ideally you could just do 3 on the front and 1 on every other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Audi A3 (2010) and Porsche 924. The 924 has a mahoooosive rear screen but i mainly just want to do the windscreens with the G1, the rest can be done with the seemingly endless amounts of Rain x I seem to have it seemed pretty good on the windscreens last year just didn't last that long and you lot raved about G1 being awesome so hopefully that'll help make up for my shit wipers on the 924 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 From what i've noticed it doesn't work too well driving at city speeds as there is another one for that, G2 or G3 maybe but you have to apply it more often. It does however make cleaning the car a lot easier as no water sticks to it and doesn't ice up on a morning. Laughed at my mum the other way as she was in the drive de-icing whilst I just got in and drove off haha G5. I was wrong lol http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/glass-cleaners-sealants/gtechniq-g5-clear-vision-glass-coat/prod_879.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I tend to do more motorway stuff in the Porsche, the Audi is just the shopping/runabout car and only really does the odd longer journey. Maybe I should get the G5 for the Audi then, it gets used feck all anyway! On a side note, I have roof bars for the Porsche, the surprisingly practical just got even more useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Bad news regarding my seats. Basically they aren't very good. I bought some knock off Recaro Pole Position seats from eBay, and the quality just isn't there. They were shipped from Athens so I can't return them, so I'll just try and sell them cheap on a forum to somebody I don't know. Which has left me not wanting to be bitten again, so there's a few new options for me to look st in time for Donny. Real men have real Pole Positions. Sort it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I see some minor paint imperfections on your car Jardo My checklist is getting smaller for the car! Just need: Front calipers - Ordering when BigRed reply Rear calipers - These can wait until next month Polybush the car - Most likely this month, currently have extremly wobbly and twitchy handling, tramlining like a bitch and pulling all over the place so I'm hoping this'll sort it Alternator - Refurb unit, can wait until next month Clutch - Can also (hopefully) wait until next month Once those are done the pennies are getting saved towards a V6 conversion, I just want the roar and ease of driving especially as it'll still be my daily. Happy with car progress at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I see minor don't care about my paintwork any more than wiping it over with a cloth then spraying "bullshit" spray all over it. I know, it's all very odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should get the G5 for the Audi then, it gets used feck all anyway! I love this. You use your economical, modern, and reliable car for short journeys. Then an old, less refined, less economical, and less reliable car for long journeys 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Because the Porsche is so much more fun to drive vs the mundanity of the Audi. You need to remember the A3 is just a 1.8T S line, not an S3 and therefore lacks the much of fun element. It's not significantly better on fuel that the Porsche and was only bought to keep the girlfriend happy as it's red and has pretty lights The Audi is fine if you want a quiet cruise with minimal effort (which it does well), the Porsche is fine if you want to actually have any involvement in the driving experience and have a big smile...I choose the latter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Mike, you keep mentioning your mx-5 not having space for decent speakers but I'm sure mine had 16cm ones in the doors, which with just some reasonable 2 way components and an old sony headunit had enough punch for quite a few passengers to comment, enough to keep me happy anyway. Maybe my car had different doorcards being earlier or something? Might be worth looking at earlier doorcards if that is the case. With rain repellant stuff, I've just been using rain-x glass cleaner. Ok it wears off fairly fast but I just give the glass a quick clean with it whenever I clean the car and that keeps it topped up enough, it's literally no harder to use than just cleaning the glass. It works well and the bottles still got plenty left after 9 monthsish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Today I made some videos of the car - this one went as planned The following one, not so much... So I took some pics of the interior instead as theres a similar interior currently for sale giving everyone on S2Forum the horn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 mmmm, 5 cylinder goodness. Is your launch control a fairly simple wasted spark setup? I was thinking about going wasted spark next year for the lols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 It cuts the fuel I think, kinda wish it was adjustable really but nevermind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The launch control you have is soft cut, it's the factory limit moved down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
