....I've never heard of gtechniq G1. Is it meant to be better?


As you well know "better" is subjective. But one aplication lasted 6 m


....Yes, sorry, "more effective" might have been a more accurate description.

So, did gtechniq G1 last 6 miles? 600 or 6,000 miles?

6 months robin, which is about 12,000 miles at my rate. Sorry I'm on my mobile. It works great. I did a review thread.

Great news mike. Photoshoot?

I use Rain-x after every wash on my windscreen, Got the glass cleaner and hydrophobic all in one spray,
I use the bottled rain-x on the side and rear windows and do those once every couple of months.

I find it really good and only ever buy it when it on spcial offer in the supermarkets.

....I saw Penny first!!  :laugh: - It's a great programme isn't it  :notworthy:

The unexpected thing is that if I mention The Big Bang Theory to anyone, no matter how old or young they are, most of them watch it and think they are the only ones who do!

I had a friend staying at my place a few weeks ago who is a retired scientist and he watches it and tells me that all the scientific gobblygook used in the prog is accurate. The programme makers employ actual scientists to check everything.

Penny is sooo hot  :drool: :love: and the part she plays in relation to the geeks is very clever.

....Take it from me as an older guy, Life is not a rehearsal, so have fun while you can (responsibly of course).

I often wish other car enthusiasts well with the words: "Have Fun but Safe Journeys" and I mean it literally  :happy2:

Having been caught short (and freezing) on numerous occasions, I treated myself to a little outdoor number.

RAB Alpine Microlight Jacket. It's lovely and toasty. (Designed in Sheffield too! :pomppomp: )

....That suntan spray has turned you orange and badly wrinkled your skin too  :evilgrin:

Does a material like that breathe or get sticky inside?
