Desgins details can make or break a car, everyone has some they love.

- the motorbike gas tank center console

- the gator light turn signals

- the rear wheel arches/hips

- the rear spoiler

Please do mention the make & model.

I love how my LS400 is not a Juke

Sorry it had to be done

I honestly just love how it looks like a sketch. Big wheels, tiny greenhouse, etc.

I love how the front fenders are pretty much level with the hood.

I’m still working to figure out my favorite thing on the 3. The shape of the side glass is very pretty.

I love the hidden bonnet shut line. It’s hidden in the crease that flows from the headlight all the way down to the rear outer light cluster.

All hail the ale.

I’ll be sending tomorrow. I’ve added a couple of things to the parcel fella.

The way the rear quarter line blends around in to the rear light cluster -

Don’t know why, it just really appeals to me as a nice design feature!

The engine and its magnesium covers.

How aggressive it looks without being way over the top.

You’re a bugger, but thank you. Put a return address on!

Gen 4 Prius. I love the fact that my car has tail fins, and that the tail fins are the latest interpretation of a styling trope that has existed for three generations now (the tail lights connecting to the spoiler).

Not my photo, though (mine’s red).

The laziestly designed headlights ever. Because this is exactly what I would do if I had to design a car.

The S2000 front fenders are all sorts of awesome.

The C-pillar air intakes of the F355.

Trivia: This was only functional for 1994-1995 cars. Later cars shared the large lower scoops with the radiators; the C-pillar intake became a dummy. Probably changed for parts commonality with the Spider which has no C-pillar.

(Honda Fit, stock photo.) My front parking lamps and turn signals use separate amber bulbs for maximum conspicuity. The tiny lamps at the top of the headlamp cluster are the parking lamps, and the larger bulbs down toward the grille are the turn indicators.

Did you get it okay?

Dude, yes! Thank you. I was going to say I only picked it up today. I forgot that I gave you my ex-girlfriend’s address last time! That was a fun meet-up.

Anyway I haven’t looked through yet but I will tomorrow, although I did notice no return address...

Damn. Did I forget to on.

Lol. Sorry fella. I hope she was okay with you. I wasn’t sure if it got to the right place, turns out it didn’t but you still got it. Lol.

Don’t apologise bud, it’s not your fault. Can’t wait to get into it tomorrow

I think you’ll like them.

Bathe+ takes ‘wash and wax’ to a whole new level by substituting the wax with an Si02 based sealant, dried with Cure will leave a glossy hydrophobic coat with impressive beading and cleaning action.

Just opened it. Awesome! So the Bathe+ goes on as normal from a bucket, then pressure washer off, then how do you apply the Cure effectively? Chamois off and apply?

Svend > 4muddyfeet - bare knuckle with an EZ30 02/18/2017 at 05:20

Okay. First, bin the chamois. Lol. Only kidding.

Put about 5ml of Bathe+ per litre of water in a bucket and wash like any other shampoo and rinse.

Or this way (for first time use), a few mls in a bucket and wash, then using a wash mitt, apply a small amount to it and then wipe over just washed area (this will set down a heavier layer of Si02) and then rinse.

You can either dry the car or run an open hose over the car to collect the water from the car. While it’s still ‘damp’, spray two or three squirts of Gyeon Cure onto a microfibre cloth and wipe a panel at a time, then using another microfibre cloth and buff.

What pressure washer are you using?

The double pump sprayer is great fro applying all purpose cleaner, citrus degreaser or whatever degreasing agent you use as a prewash for lower valences where the dirt and traffic film are the worst. It saves getting pain in your hands from using the triggers so much on normal triggers.
