How about spamming my google results page with a load of untrue crap in order to drive my customers onto this forum? It's not a winning strategy. There are probably several regulars on here keeping silent but who know people whose cars I've done or whose own car was done by me. If you put...

There are a lot of things involved in running a business.

Fair comment. I have lots of things going on at the same time. But hang on, I remember a post asking about me on here on AG and someone saying don't use him and "the internet is your friend" and I think that was Smithy replying to Eric. I'll look it up.

My apologies. You are not the author Smithy. It's Eric.

So what is your business if you don't mind me asking?

The bottom line is a) I don't claim to be perfect (but I am always striving to improve) and b) if there is a problem I rectify it to the customer's satisfaction and I make this a contractual obligation on my part. If you don't like my terms and conditions, why come to me?

Your business model is based on "yellow jounalism" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism: "Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that...

Hey guys, (Apologies to the OP by the way. I'm sure he did not expect his post to ignite a flame war.) Did you know that cowboy waxoyled Big Jimmy's 110 and he only found out when he got back to his home in the south of France that the brake discs and pads were covered in waxoyl? Big Jimmy...

Go for it!

No it doesn't! Can someone tell me how to load a pdf on here and I will load the page showing my tests that is currently running in LRO magazine.

If Dinitrol is so good, how come there are no businesses which give a guarantee on a Dinitrol'd car? I have been giving 5 year guarantees, even on very rusty cars, since 2002.

OK. I was just trying to be helpful. So if that is the case, why did Rustmaster, The Waxworks and Pristine Autos all go bust after exactly 5 years? If it's such a licence to print money, why don't you set up shop yourself?

Hi Muppetdaze, The big question is what is the mileage, where has it lived and what has it been used for? i am the owner of a waxoiling company. I have many satisfied customers. Some people hate me. First of all, I think waxoyl is the best bet on what is going to be a very rusty vehicle...

If it's sticky and greasy it's probably someone's home made recipe of waxoyl/diesel/old engine oil or just old engine oil and often applied over road dirt or dried mud. Scrape any bits of coating with your fingernails then make what is in your nails into a little ball with your finger tips...

1. If Mr. Smith is the genuine, salt of the earth person he portrays himself as, why doesn't he arrange for me to inspect his vehicle in Durham? I will pay the Garage for an hour on a lift or a ramp. 2. Mr. Smith says he is going to take me to court. I have already made him aware that under...
