InshAllah would soon be ordering Ultimate compound, polish and wax. But i am afraid i might end up spending more than my car is worth. Lol

P- Just hit 110 with 5 people today. ( this was when i was coming home from Airport and had been asked to speed up )

4- side windows have water stains that simply don't go away no matter what.
5- micro scratches on the wind shield(really hard to notice but its kinda getting on my nerves)
4- You might wanna try Vinegar + Water, rubbed off by a lint free cloth (or a newspaper. They work surprisingly well on glass surfaces).
5- If they're deep enough that they bother you (in that, disperse light at night time) you might want to consider getting the windscreen 'buffed'. Are you from Lahore? I know where they do that here.

Detailing is such a Abuses will lead to ban. Just paid a guy to detail my car, instructed him on every corner. My car looks so good now. Used Turtle Wax compound to compound it first, and then washed the car with Wash & Wax.
BTW does any know how to open seal of the Turtle Wax Wax & Dry? Apparently I cannot get that open :p

Always wanted you dead, but after this, I'll ensure I personally plant the C4 like the Ramzan days and make minced meat out of you.

Half the fun is doing it yourself. Even though the end result may not be as good as one where you pay someone to do it, but hey, where's the fun in that? Fun + the satisfaction after doing it yourself = win win win.

For me, every fortnightly Sunday is a special day where teh cars get my time. Personally, that's one of my happiest days.

Although I have the motivation, I'm just too lazy. So yeah, instead of doing it myself and possibly not getting good results I'll pay someone to do it instead. :p

Also, you're welcome to plant the C4 phat-ass :finger:

Oh the irony.

Try it some time though. You'll learn with time + the joy in seeing the end result and feeling that YOU are the reason behind it is too good.

Have you tried pressing the spray thing? :p
(the tip of the spray bottle thing moves. The square bit in the front. Turn it 90 degrees to either side. Noob).

Al Qaeda? Abuses will lead to ban please. This time I'm coming myself.

OK so my neighbours hit my car today. A big dent on driving side door. It is completely moulded inside. They acknowledged their mistake and are ready to pay the repair charges. Good thing is I had a bit of rust on the lower edge of my car which I wanted to get fixed for a pretty long time but now will get that fixed too in the same amount. Bad thing is I need to leave my car for 2 days which is going to be a hard task.

Anyhow, i will post pics and let you guys know, I asked 2 denters, both gave me a rough estimate of around 3000 rupees. So this is the amount i will shell out from my neighbour. After the repairs, inshAllah would be ordering some more detailing items, particularly the clay bar, white wax, ultimate compound and polish .

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
