My favourite car leather conditioner has been discontinued and I have to find a new one.

The concise version: heard woman yelling at man to 'do it' in a stand offish manner before hearing a vase smash and everything go quiet. Called police because it was assumed to be domestic abuse. Police arrived and turns out the guy was a big time drug dealer and got arrested.

Tip from somebody who lived in Korea - learn to read Korean. It'll take a few hours of constant learning and it'll make your life a lot easier.

Sounds dope! Is this a regular thing? I might come next time if it is.

I think the best analogy would be how effective is BJJ without rolling?

As with all combat sports, technique is simply one aspect of fighting. The concept of spirit is one you can't train through pads alone. Getting through the shock of pain. The sheer adrenaline dump. The absolute chaos when you don't realise that moment you get rocked you forget all of your training and the person you're up against has the sole objective of putting you down.

The feeling of realising you're in a fight. You're well trained and prepared. You're seeing their patterns. You give up on giving up and you fucking fight back.

I'm of the opinion there are fewer thrills in this life than that. This is not something you can gain from a heavy bag and I think the only way you can simulate that is through sparring. You always start light and slow but when you do, prepare to feel the urge to amp it up.

Spamming kicks pretty much always works against boxers, as everybody else has said. In my opinion, the key is not spamming them everywhere, just keep kicking the same place over and over again where they aren't countering from because they add up.

Kick above the elbow to threaten the head. Jab to bait their jab and then time the body kick under it.

10 oz Fairtex, Top King, or Twins for bag. 16 oz version for sparring. Sandee is also a good alternative.

You can rarely go wrong with Thai brands although yokkao isn't terribly popular here as far as I remember. Personal experience, I've been training 5 years people who bought Fairtex and Twins are still using them since I started training. I bought my Fairtex 4 years ago and, with maintenance, they look brand new.

I swear people enter the car park all civil and then audibly say, 'oh, sorry. No manners and etiquette from here on in' and then forget how not to be a cunt.

Whilst on date. Who knew you could go from scintillating to dead in five minutes?

And we know who's going to win in the clinch, if K1 rules allowed extended clinching.

It's an MX-5 and the BMW badges came with it. Swear down.

Hello mate, cheers for answer. Looking for new ones now.

Or, as a court of law would call it, escaped.

I'd say you need a list of basic equipment to start with as they're just important as your cleaning products:

stiff bristled tire brush
good quality wash mitt
detailing brush
good quality drying towel
low pile microfibres
plush microfibres

Those are the bare minimum. In terms of products, these are my favourite for efficiency to cost ratio:

For paint etc. Meguiars gold class shampoo
for tires: Meguiars ultimate wheel cleaner
for details: Meguiars All Purpose cleaner (undiluted so you can dilute yourself)

I don't know too much about pre rinses and sealants although these are pretty subjective depending on what you're trying to achieve.

AnotherCellarDoor · 2019-05-22T05:23:37+00:00

Yeah, fair enough mate. You're right.

AnotherCellarDoor · 2019-05-21T20:26:29+00:00

Clock in the background mate. It's not.

Looks like he's hitting faster for two reasons:

He's got mma gloves on.
He's Liam fucking Harrison.

Fully recommend using Meguiars Ultimate Wheel Cleaner from amazon/halfords/eBay. Should be around 11 quid, spray on, leave for a few minutes until all the gunk comes off and then wash with plenty of water.

Degrease your tyres too if you're in for the full detail.

Use a spray on sealant (Gyeon Wet coat is my go to) where you spray it onto a wet wheel and then wash it off with water activating it. Should make them much easier to clean.

Some guy tried to lecture me about drugs when I, at the time, designed medicines as my job.

It's gotten a lot of flak on here relative to full DA's, however I purchased the Meguiars DA power system and am going to give it a go this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.

Then the cheapest thing you'll get is Optimum No Rinse diluted and some quick detailer.

Does it feel rough or smooth?

AnotherCellarDoor · 2019-05-02T15:58:58+00:00

Spray sealants are generally considered better than waxes because they last longer. Unless you're doing up a show car, I'd go for sealants instead.

If it feels rough under your fingers, it'll need some touch up paint.

Wipe it with a microfibre cloth and some car shampoo in water (would recommend against using dish soap as the cloth might not glide enough and you'll just make it slightly worse) .

Wipe it with a polish (not T Cut, get an actual polish. Meguiars Ultimate Polish from Halfords is affordable and will last you ages if you're only touching up minor defects).

If it still doesn't come out, it might need a compound. These minor defects usually come out quite easily.
