  1. The paint is on the relatively soft side, do you have a DA Polisher at all and I'd gladly give you a hint on what pads and polish to use?
  2. I put Gtechniq Leather Guard on all the leather sections and Gtechniq Matt Dash on all the plastics. The Leather Guard won't discolour your stitching bud
  3. Thanks, it's my home from home and spend a lot of time there so like it looking swish. I love it, being able to support my family by doing what I enjoy make it feel like the best job in the world. Definitely one of these jobs or hobbies it's easy to obsess over! I've tried Reset and got on well with it, I use different decon chemicals based on what I'm doing with the car but for coated cars I like Gtechniq Ceramic Gwash. More than welcome to ping me a message when you are nearby and can have a chat 😊
  4. Just finished that big Sunday dinner and hoping to grab a little nap and looking for something to send you off to sleep? My latest YouTube vlog has just gone live on the channel covering a detail, ceramic coating and a roadtrip with the car (and drone) up the Campsies for some gorgeous scenery. Hopefully you enjoy. Ross
  5. You'd love "The Why Files", similar conspiricy theory/strange stories!
  6. Last 2 cars were RX450h's, must get out of the hybrid mindset 😅
  7. If it wasn't for The Why Files and Joe Rogan podcasts and multiple cans of Monster I'd have been trying to get there as quickly as I could 😆
  8. I didn't touch the throttle pretty much the entire motorway trip, I left it to the cruise control to do it's thing. It felt much more chilled and less urgent to pull away from roundabouts than usual but that'll be down to a retarded throttle response compared to normal, sport and sport+.
  9. Around 52mph it worked out at.
  10. Howdy Folks, First off, I don't normally make a habit of eeking out every drop of petrol I can but with circumstances of an early morning drive from Glasgow to Northampton for some work, in the car myself with a few podcasts to catch up on I decided to leave a bit earlier and see just how much MPG I could get from that V8 lump. Tyre pressures set to 3bar all round and filled to the brim with Tesco Momentum 99 I set sail to the glorious ocean of the M74 and M6 in Eco mode. After a few minutes idle after starting and 5 miles of city roads and roundabouts I joined the M74 and there was a HGV within view so slowly stalked the back end of it then set the radar cruise on the closest follow setting then sat back to listen to some podcasts. With a stop off once for a coffee and pee break and a spirited 0-licence loosing speed in Sport+ leaving the M6 Toll Plaza (hadn't gave the car the full beans from standstill since getting it so an empty wide stretch of motorway seemed the most sensible place to do it) after 309 miles it averaged......... 38.1mpg which I was amazed by.
  11. Believe it or not I have a RC-F carbon model car that I ordered from Japan a good few years ago, think thats why I am keen on seeing it dressed in carbon lol
  12. Hey Folks, First off thanks for the warm welcome to the F Club. Had the RCF for 10 days now and I am so pleased I went for it. The plan was always to stick money by then get one in 3 years for my 40th (also just bought a new RX450h the month prior so took a bit of convincing my wife to get another car as I had to get it on finance) however with the condition and so low miles I couldn't let it pass me by. No issues other than brake squeel when coming to a slow stop (like in a drive through/crawling in slow traffic) but I have seen other posts about this and appears normal. MPG is sitting around 17, again I knew it was going to be thirsty but hopefully this is just the new car heavy foot (got to enjoy that V8) and de-icing in the morning, hopefully settles in the low 20's. How do others find the heated seats? Mine barely gets decent heat into it, my past few RX's and CT seat was really quite warm when turned on full but the RCF seems to be much colder and never seems to get really hot compared to the others. All in I am delighted and managed to get a slot to book it in with myself mid January for some detailing, ceramic and PPF (also might play with putting carbon wrap on the bonnet, roof and spoiler to see how that looks) and then take it from there. Thanks, Ross
  13. What's the recommended FB groups and I'll get added up?
