GT500 Car Cover

[Tomster]

Tom: If you have a spare squeeze bottle, put the undiluted Perl in that and then cover the square foam pad to about 80 percent coverage. Work it in to the foam with your fingers and then apply. I find that using two directions of movement with the foam or even circular movement over text on the tire, can get the excess out of the nooks and crannies.

Give it twenty minutes or so in your humid air and then buff with a cheap MF. Here are the pads if you didn't look yet.

Yes, those were the pads I bought earlier today. I haven't found a squeeze bottle yet, so I'll find something on cramazon.

(Go to the back of the lav cabinet and find a squeeze bottle of shampoo she doesn't use any more. Clean it out and you're in business.)

You didn't hear that from me. :-)

Just like all the turkey basters I have taken over the years to drain my brake resevoir?

I've learned my lesson. I'll hit up the dollar store or something.

I didn't tread that dangerous line but settled on an empty bottle of Adams soap to donate it's handy nozzle.

PS. I went with Matt at OG as his price was the same as everyone else and, they were in stock.

Geez I wish I could get a Nano for that price in Australia.

$630 for you guys in the US, the cheapest I have found in Australia is $1075.

Perhaps someone in the US can buy one for you and ship it to you? You would save quite a bit. I have done this for a buddy of mine on the other side of the pond.

Would not USD 630 be around Aust 816.00. Plus freight and 10% GST be near a 100 or so from the Aust 1075.
Is the 100 or so not worth it for the warranty of the machine?

It's called the "Australia Tax", everything in Australia is noticeably more expensive than in other parts of the world.

Here are a few examples -

Adams Car Shampoo, 16oz for $9.99 in the US, $24.99 in Aust.

Sucks but it is what it is.

Ha Ha...you are not telling we anything I don't already know.... I live across the ditch in NZ.
Could have helped you out if you lived over here. I have a container coming out.

DFB: Clearly we have traits in common. <smiling>

As for the Nano, I got the long neck version and, the large kit. After using it extensively for the first time yesterday, I can tell you with confidence that you will love it and it comes in a nifty box, too. I saw videos of both a soft and hard case and luckily, the hard case is current. Great way to hold all those little parts.

Dam it!

Now I want that thing even more!!!!

Just placed my order for a iBrid Nano tonight, it's taken that long for my favored supplier to get the long neck version back in stock.

CAN'T WAIT!!

Used mine on a new Benz wheel the other day, DFB. Car came with something on one of the spokes and it was obviously on top of the paint. Yellow pad and some 205...gone in sixty seconds.

Congrats.

Anyone care to share the link to this car cover?

Woohoo!

I thought I was getting the soft case kit so was a bit surprised to find the hard case instead. Not complaining though!

DROOL..........

Thanks for the motivation KB.
