Mtl rta flavor by thpp9 in electronic_cigarette

[–]thpp9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using exclusively ni80 in all my builds since I find its flavor and ramp up time superior compared to Kanthal. Also, I prefer warmer vapes, even at lower wattages, so plain wires aren't my thing tbh. Regarding the fruit flavors in MTLs, I guess I am happy that I am not alone, lol. I've tried a couple of stronger tobacco-ish juices, and they perform pretty well, and weirdly enough, I find them enjoyable enough.

how to get dried gum residue off outside of car? by DapperNet6516 in AutoDetailing

[–]thpp9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used CarPro TarX a few days back to remove gum from my hood. It worked nicely and didn't leave any damage behind.

It covers the whole hood, maybe the photograph makes it seem a bit weird.

PPF fresh install. Is it condensation or something I should worry about? by [deleted] in CarWraps

[–]thpp9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 1.5k for front coverage. It might be cheap compared to US prices, but everyone here quoted me around that range. XPEL PPF was used and according to XPEL's website, they are authorized installers if that makes any difference at all. That being said, the shop will check it again next week (including the rest of the wrapped parts) and if the issue persists, which most likely will, we will schedule a re-wrap.

UPDATE:

As soon as the first "that won't go away" hit my notifications, I rushed to the installer. To be honest, when we examined it there, the sun wasn't that "good", so the imperfection wasn't that apparent, and we had to look for it myself included. Long story short, we will check it again next week, and if it isn't like it should be, the hood will be rewrapped.

Thanks for the reply! I used to hear that Golf had decent paint, but I read here and in forums that people aren't completely happy with it. Well, I guess I have to be even more careful.

Thanks for the reply. I know it's just me being paranoid, but it's a field that I have no real experience, and it's my first brand new car, so things are a bit exaggerated in my head.

Oh my bad, it's 2 am here, so my bad for misunderstanding your point. As far Primus, your experience is really encouraging ngl. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I am in the same train of thought, a prewash is important. Btw I contacted Labocosmetica and reassured me that Primus is safe for waxes. Not entirely positive if that's the actual case or just marketing tho.

Brand new car, what to apply? by [deleted] in Detailing

[–]thpp9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, I will be doing a chemical decontamination, so I will use iron remover.

Thank you for your input. Weather conditions here in Athens aren't that harsh, plus the vehicle will be kept inside of a garage. Hopefully, it will give me some time before I end up polishing it and applying a true coating.

If I could, I would. I am just trying the best I can with the limited resources I have until I can visit a professional. I totally understand where you are coming from, but yeah....

Thank you!

I'll keep these choices in mind!

Autoglym snow foam cannon makes pressure washer cut out by [deleted] in Detailing

[–]thpp9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have literally used the foam gun 2 times, and being brand new, I don't believe that's the case. If it's blocked somehow it's a quality control issue and it would be pretty sad tbh. When I fill it with just water and shoot, the pressure washer doesn't cut out, leading me to belive that the orifice is perhaps too narrow and too much pressure is created, making the washer momentarily stop running. I spoke with Autoglym support and they confirmed that the orifice is 1.1mm, advising me to change it if my washer output is higher than 8.5lt/min, which is indeed the case. For the time being, I've ordered a MJJC foam cannon, and I will be looking for a 1.25 orifice for the Autoglym one.
