let us know when, but u'll av to get ya own G3 cos i aint got a lot left

Just been looking round the forums (not this one) and found some people saying G3 is a bit harsh and something like Scratch X is better/less severe. Plus you can get that from Halfords

I'm one of those people that kill things with sand paper because I get carried away...

Disasterous consequences? wtf?
Stop reading crap and use the stuff

I think a lot of it will shift just with elbow grease/big machine.

No idea where to get G3 anyway, so may try the Scratch X stuff.

How much do you end up using to do a whole car????
I think it is the whole car - the roof has the worst scratch!

I got 2 of these which I'll be happy to part with. Proper old bricks, but obviously I want to keep the dinky new handies for myself

They're Harvard 410T, complete with case and charger.

They definitely work, but the charger is just that - an unregulated charger to charge the 10 batteries they take. So although I could check they received and transmitted, the sound was crap because of the crap power. I haven't got 10 batteries lying around.


A quick search found these on ebay so you know what huge bricks they are !!

Well I've cleaned most of the mud off, plus got loads more off the underneath.

Now doing it in proper daylight I'm finding all the extra little holes where the mud hides.

The mud on the paint is evil - it goes clear when its wet and the car looks clean - then it dries whit again!!!

I think I've got most of it now.


As for polishing with power - my mate reckons you can get the polishing pads to fit on angle grinders.....now I've got one of those beasts, just need to find a pad that fits.
Might get funny looks taking a grinder to the paint work!!

just get nath to ava ride up langley for yers ta bastables he sells the pads an g3

Tell him to get us a couple a mops while he's there

use plenty of water,cus you,ll burn yer paint

the unit next to door ours is a garage and the mech told me how to use g3, plenty water... great stuff

The Disco has come up quite well with just a good was - 90% of the 'scratches' washed off. I'm going to leave the polishing for now - too much other stuff to do first.

Anyway, thought I'd go and bang some of that dust we were driving through, out of the air filter.

2 things I notice;

1) I've found the rest of the mud - the engine is covered. I guess the fan went in the muddy water. Must have been when I briefly parked so that 90boy could play with his tow rope. What's the best way to clean the engine? Can I just go at it with the hose pipe like I did the underneath???

2) I was a little worried by the amount of mud under the air filter. It was all before the filter, but it means quite a lot splashed in the air intake!!!! How much were those snorkels?

90% washed off ? :hysterically_laughi My arse, you cant expect that statement to be believed surely?
jet wash ya engine
snorkels aint cheap new ones at least or s/hand come to think of it
