wow.. well done on the scrap removal.. that 9th pic looks like a matchbox car :)

good job... although by the title i was expecting a UV-off, ie UV protection test :) hehe

ahh ok - thanks.. yeah it sounds like its just a lubrication rather than specific gear type oil requirement. lithium grease might be a good way to go, excess oil might run onto the pads/car etc...

perfect picture :) is air tool oil like sewing machine oil - and no i have never used a sewing machine but i know where to buy the oil :P

thanks :) what sort of oil/lube for the felt ring guys?

Hi Guys, I'm excited - the Fedex man dropped off my new (and first) kit this morning. I will open it all up and post up a pic of the stuff I got tonight :) Firstly - A massive thanks to Autogeek for getting it all together, there were some problems (LC Pads out of stock) but AG pulled through...

which air filter? the cabin one or the engine one? if your driving a performance car then change it more often than the MFC states, otherwise just do it whenever the MFC says. they are cheap enough that its not really that big a deal :)

use until visually dirty... im sure others/betters will be able to elaborate more :)

you can wash and kneed the clay and get rid of 50+% of the crap in it.. but generally clays will only last a little while... i have a couple of different clays, 1 for wheels, 1 for upper body, 1 for lower body... etc.. and I rotate them downwards, ie upper -> lower -> wheels...

is this why some of these pads are on back order? does it affect kompressors as well?

Damn I wish I knew about this a few days ago - I would have had AG tack this and the wheel brush onto my order..

^ ouch

claying removes surface contaminants - like paint overspray, bird crap, industrial fallout, stubborn dust/dity wet sanding is much more dramatic, and will take a layer of your paint or clear coat off - usually you do this after a respray or patch job to smooth out the surface

as soon as Obama sends resources or tries to clean up then they take responsibility, they can't send BP the bill afterwards because BP will just say - "we could have done that cheaper" and then Obama will be in for a world of pain and bad press...

yeh those videos are good! Thanks Mike!
