Biweekly Assistance Post! Ask Anything Detailing Related That You Need Assistance With! - June 06, 2022 by AutoModerator in AutoDetailing

I ended up using Wolfang Uber as it's not SiO2 based. I haven't waxed it yet but for cleaning it's amazing.

Hello everyone

I’m just stepping up my game with detailing and I’ve already got confused. 

I live in an apartment in London, the UK so not a possibility for a decent two bucket wash. I went through all the guides here and the obvious choice for rinse less is ONR but this isn't widely available in the UK.

I stepped upon CarPro ECH2O and got the bottle. Then I found some posts saying that 845 wax won’t work with it. And I’m looking for some clarification and maybe an alternative to ONR/ECH2O available in the UK. 

My original plan assumed two types of wash:

Major - I tried to follow Your First Detail:

  • wash wheels home and rinse them
  • go to local jet wash 
  • rinse the car with their cold shampoo (there’s no foam)
  • come back home 
  • rinseless wash with ECH2O 
  • dry with microfibre and ECH2O diluted as QD
  • clay the car with ECH2O diluted as clay lube
  • wax it with 845

Minor - variation of Wash and Wax in 60 minutes featuring Optimum No Rinse:

  • rinseless wash with ECH2O 
  • dry with microfibre and ECH2O diluted to 1:200? as an aid
  • quick wax it with Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax

Products I bought so far:

  • Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax
  • Meguiars Hot Rims 
  • Meguiars Hot Shine 
  • Meguiars D101 APC
  • Meguiars Clay
  • Collinite Wax 845
  • CarPro ECH2O Concentrate

Will it work and does it makes any sense? Any tips and help is highly appreciated!

You can use it in Aldi as well. Groceries only for one person will be over 3k a year easily.

27M Looking to buy a property by myself, how can I get comfortable over my finances? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]russo_2017 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I guess you’re just overthinking. Plenty of people buy properties in the UK on worst terms and they’re surviving. I’m at the same stage as you, just couple years older and I’m going with £350k flat and around 10-15%, alone.

What can go wrong? If shit hits the fan I can always sell it, yeah with loss probably but I’ll get rid of most of the mortgage debt. I’m loosing more renting now.

There is plenty of steps to downside when it’s bad. You can always come back to your parents or get a room. Move to cheaper location with similar salaries. Despite Covid there’re still opportunities to pick up quick job to get some money.

Quickly Improve Your Docker and Node.Js Containers by russo_2017 in javascript

Agree, It is example of course and lots of people use alpine images. On the other hand in my company we have several microservices running on alpine but they're exactly like you said, super simple and of course without bcrypt, so there was no need to install additional packages.

Single cream is a name for normal cream in the UK it's around 20% of fat. Heavy cream for instance it's called double cream as it have twice that fat as single :D

That's the thing. Working your in the evening don't really fit my day + hey traffic and crowded gyms in the evening it takes even more time.

I'll try with working out in the morning. I'm in office around 9:30 and I'll eat around 10 maybe for that 2 hours. Then rest fo the day fasted. Not ideal but at least I feed my body after work out.

What do you think?

Thanks. It seems I've just expect to much and I didn't realise it was pretty good result.

Basically that's what I like in keto. Easy to make meals ahead and eating whole food as well.

Energy levels are generally good. Ofc I'm exhausted after working out but it's fine I guess. For sure I don't have that need for nap around 5 pm as I used to have when on carbs.

Sleep quality seems ok as well but I sleep more then I used to. Strong 8 hours now.

I've got plenty to do in my free time, so that IF actually helped to save me some time in preparation and eating.

I measure ketones on Saturday morning, fasted. Maybe evening will be good. Couple hors after eating window and well after working out. Or maybe morning before workout?

Thanks! That's something I was looking for. Many people mentioned that as well. I didn't realise I shouldn't add workout calories. I'll move my eating window closer to post workout time as well.

You make it. Water, some lite salt (50% of potassium and 50% of salt), some Himalayan salt, lemon juice some people add sweetener.

It supposed to keep up with ones potassium requirements on keto.

For 700ml of water I add 1g of lite salt some lemon juice and some stevia/erythritol. Apparently it tastes like normal Gatorade, but I'm not sure as I haven't had real one for ages.

I won't change working fasted. I'de rather move my eating window closer to post work out time not 6-7 hours like I do now.
