thanks superdave

hi, does anyone know the part number for the rubber bit that grabs onto the door hinges to make it open in two stages? i need to replace mine as the door just swings open instead of stopping half way car is a ZZE122 cheers

hey guys im doing this now, but the centre climate dials seems like they are clipped into that panel so when i try to pull its like something is holding it in, and i dont want to pull harder as it might snap any tips?

so anyone know?

whoops by 61, i meant 21 synthetic sealant. and yes i am on MOL. i just use normal megs retail clay. dont really need to try all the new stuff since the stuff i have now is more than capable :)

Placebo effect

i use a metabo rotary for polishing and have a GMC random orb i love the megs stuff 80 and 83 are my goto. ive got a full tin of the original #16 too, i had to source it from america! thats my goto wax if i want longivity. a while back i bought 3Litres of #61 havnt read up much on the new stuff yet.

so what exactly do you get for your $50?

ok i went to check if my car had a dirty filter, and i pulled out the tray that Rolla Boy was talking about (a1 inch high, 6" wide clip draw), and there was no filter! wtf? anyways, to people that have purchased the carbon activated one, how is the progress going? wondering if i should bother and just get the normal one

hey Rolla Boy, is this the same for ZZE122 corollas? i want to clean my filter as it smells after the AC has been running

cost them nothing for extended warranty anyways. they threw it in for free when we were looking for a yaris. just more ways to get your money

im only a hobbyist, and its not my full time job nor part time :) location ? SE burbs :)

was curious, not wanting to swap it myself cheers

hey guys quick question, but are the electronic climate controls from a sportivo interchangable with regular controls from say a levin / accent? so say you swap out the climate controls centre console from a sportivo to a accent, will it plug in or are the looms different?

i remember the original scratch x before the formula change used to gummy up when it had a little heat applied (random orb, rotary)

Liberty GX cars paint was relatively smooth already, no clay bar needed. gave it a quick wash with QEW, ready for polishing. polsihed with #83 on a megs cutting pad via rotary then menzerna po73cp on a megs polishing pad via rotary hand waxed with NXT inspected the paint, and it had alot of deep scratches alot of them i didnt get out here is a before pic of the hood tried the SSr 2.5 with cutting pad although it worked ok, on this paint, it became real stubborn to buff off. pic of it worked on with SSR 2.5... can see some scratches i didnt get out with 2 passes i then switched to meguairs #83 with a cutting pad. before pic of the right quarter hit it with #83 twice, and just look at the gloss and wetness now drivers side door. as you can see alot of scratches and swirling two passes random shot of the rear door after polished now onto the boot. before pic now after finished shot, doesnt look soo crash hot here :( no sun, and a white car hope you like :)

then topped with beauty wax souvern.. finished great depth love the LED's me shot i found applying souvern difficult only because i didnt buff it off straight after i applied it.. overall i was pretty happy with the end result

next up 330ci car was immaculate! paint was in very good condition, just some light swirling . cobwebbing. colour was a very dark metallic green / blue pictures arent the best. products used: optimum no rinse meguiars #80 meguiars #21 pinnacle souvern gave it a wash with optimum no rinse and bought it into the garage to inspect under lights. taped up the trim. gave it a quick clay, but the cars paint was pretty clean, clay bar was clean. here is the hood after a wash tried menzerna po73cp on a portion of the bonnet, took out 80% of the swirls. decided to try po106ff on another portion. for some reason the 106ff only removed about 60% of swirls. i then switched pads, and moved onto #80 that tended to finish what i was after. here is the bonnet after a couple of passes rear quarter after 2 passes.. can see my car on teh reflection some light cobwebbing on the rear pillar one pass of #80 boot done with 2 passes another bonnet shot. this section of the hood got po106ff, then 3 x #80 polished off the whole car, side mirror and door handles got scratch-x on them. here is the bonnet with #21 applied

boot after excuse the mess black rewards you soo well after hard work bonnet after wax the beast 18"s owner was great, took me for a spin in it afterwards. i was holding onto my seat the whole time!!!
