Using a G220 polisher

by Sparkystav, 15-01-2019, 05:30 PM

Right today i cracked the G220 out for the first time and tried polishing the car.

the only issue was that i couldnt seem to use it right and it kept leaving half moon marks that i then buffed off.

Is this right or not? and what tips do people have for using them?
I tried reading the link to "detailing world" that was posted but its prob a bit too detailed for me lol

Paint Renovation

by Rabster, 15-01-2019, 05:29 PM

Well a few years ago i ordered a DR Colour chips Paint restoration kit, designed mainly for road rash and small chips etc

my 1st attempt on the car wasn't successful i was not impressed with what it did (may have not done it properly)

anyway was having a tidy up in the garage and found it so thought i may give it a chance to redeem itself before i threw it away

so anyway here are the pics before and after then a polish

Before





After

This was taken before the treating agent



After a clean and polish up




have to say on stone chips it works a treat or roadrash as its known

may have a go at the rest of the little marks and scratches lol

Indicator stalk

by Fire_Fox_69, 15-01-2019, 03:15 PM

[SIZE="4"][COLOR="Blue"]Does anyone have any information on how to replace the indicator stalk on a Lexus is200???
The part comes as one piece along with the window wiper stalk. Thinking if i'm having to take the steering wheel off i will have to disengagge the air bag, sounds like a tricky job and don't want to get it wrong.
Any help on the matter will be greatly appreciated [/COLOR][/SIZE]

Close shave

by parthiban, 15-01-2019, 08:41 AM

Had a bit of a close shave last night, was driving down the A312 taking bro and sis in law to heathrow and moved into the bus lane as it was past 7 and no one was using it - a car in front of me turned left, and just as I was about to put my foot down I saw a guy in a bright yellow jacket about 200m down the road hold up a speed gun........

Luckily I saw him just in time so just lifted off and cruised past, first time I've ever been speed checked (that I know of) and I didn't like it much :tongue_smilie:

New car

by kam05, 13-01-2019, 06:49 AM

Well after 8 years and after 100,000 of trouble free miles under my ownership I've decided to part with my 10 year old IS200 which has done 143k.

The replacement car is a MB C220cdi Sport with the AMG pack:

I pick up the new motor on Saturday...sorry I've defected to ze Germans, but I test drove a IS220d and it wasn't for me.

Goodbye X421ODA, you have served me well.

Hope I'm still welcome in the club even though I won't be in a Jap motor anymore
