Made the mistake of waxing my car today...

[Bing]

On another note, I think summer hormones must be kicking in on this forum - it's all gone a bit 'fnarrr' in the last few days :lol:

I am suffering from "crow hormones" at the moment. Sitting outside at 5 am with a shot gun is not my definition of a fun start of the morning, but they are attacking my windows at that time (something to do with their hormones).

Managed to shoot one so far

Holy sh1t - remind me never to sneak up and tap the window of your car unannounced

Did you still want some coding done on Sunday Bing/PVR?

 

[Bing]

Do you mean the comfort opening stuff ? Only if we have time... Could be a pain if it is pi55ing down and everyone else is just sitting in there cars waiting for us...

 

[pvr]

srhutch - you tried last time but did not work (indicator 3 times flashing). Any more thoughts if it would work?

Might use the Intravee instead to do it.

 

[srhutch]

PVR sorry to say I think it was operator error last time, I forgot to run a little app that interfaces the software to the OBD port.

I've tried the Intravee one and that didn't work although it maybe because I have the triple flash activated.

Let's tie up later in the week then.

Yes, triple would be good as I got used to that now. Sod the rest and let them wait in the rain

Actually, I am with the Dutchman. Comfort Opening and Tripple flash would be great, if we have time. Do PVR first and we can decide then what to do.

What is "comfort opening" ?

Window goes down on unlock with a certain key press IIRC - easier to get in, especially in a tight space

Double press the open button done that on my old E46 which was great, didn't think it was possible on the Z

sure is, I'll bring both keys as I have one set for comfort and the other for selective locking.

Que ? Do I need both keys too then ? Do you need both of yours to do a demo ?

What's selective locking?

what possible advantage can there be for applying wax by hand other than being a saddo, idont know much about wax but common sense tells me that once you pay over 20 quid for wax there aint a lot of difference other than elitism and having nothing better to spend your money on.

Makes nice water beads

But agree, can't see the point of £100+ waxes.

But then if was lucky enough to own a Fezza...

I paid £6 quid or something for 30mil tester, the full 250mil dodo juice purple haze is £32. That is reaching my limit for cost of wax, I agree extortionate amounts of money for wax are only justified in my head for a weekend toy or very expensive car. I applied it by hand because I am a tight Scottish git (bought a tester first :roll: ) and didn't want to waste what was left. To quote myself :

Not got a lot of wax left so decided to do a JimmyPop and use skin to make best use of what I have rather than losing a bunch in whatever applicator I use.

Whilst I appreciate the sentiment of your post, read mine properly first before gaily tossing the saddo label about

Oh, and for what it's worth, using skin actually put a better coat of wax on than any applicator I have used. No idea why, but it did. Will I be doing it again soon ? No, because as I said it took fecking ages :wink:

If I could afford a Fezza I'd pay some other bugger to do it properly

dont fret about the saddo thing, my wife thinks i'm a saddo cause i was polishing my back boxes up,, quite theraputic though, no offence intended. :wink:
