Yes, I paid £40 for mine many years ago and to this day still works flawlessly after being kept in the shed and being used at least once a week. It is better than any Karcher unit at close to the RRP as well having used them and seen them break.
He didn't say it has to be Megs, just that he used it?
Maybe the use of smiley emoticons wasn't enough to give away the 'in jest' tone

I'll give you a tip, don't let her go near it again

Not driven it since! (mostly due to lack of confidence rather than my say so)
He should invest in some wire wool to get rid of the remaining bits of carbon build up, though
Would that not scratch them?
You need a fine grade (i think 0 is the finest) but no, it doesnt

I did use wire wool!
The remaining carbon build up is actually the weld.
Trust me there was nothing left to be taken off

Funny you say that, after second glancing at the picture it did look like there was a "bridge" of carbon between the lip and the inner bit

The gf had a ding in my car a few weeks back, finally looking to sort the damage out (run about car so not particularly fussed) any tips for where to start?
Wash, dry and then gently start working away at the transferred paint with something like Autoglym Paint Renovator. You may want to try Super Resin Polish first, but I doubt it would shift that.
Week off work so I decided to try out one of the Meguiars Clay Bars that I've had for ages as I've got time to kill.
Sides of the car were more contaminated than the front and rear of the car which I wasn't expecting (apologies for the red hand
) :
First time it'd been done it quite a while though. Used some AG Tar Remover on the more stubborn bits of tar, then polished and waxed as per usual. Only to find out that I'll be driving up to Wolverhampton on Saturday which will undo all of my work, but what can you do
