    Tyres

    Wow, Very interesting read. Not so long ago, most people here were against run flats, and wouldn’t consider running them. I’m looking forward to this thread progressing to learn more. I feel rather “deflated” that I have yet to experience run flat tyres :cry:

    Ceramic paint treatment?

    Back to Brian’s original question. Yes, Ceramic coating is proving to be extremely good especially for reasons Brian mentioned. My daughter is looking forward to having her car done this Friday. Brian, my daughter has always used my secret weapon for shine, but she hasn’t on this car Asher...

    Ceramic paint treatment?

    Gents, The more heavy duty and harder pads, are like 50-70% effective when cold compared to the softer OEM pads. “Generally speaking” these softer OEM compounds are what we normally need as we don’t drive our cars very far or very fast on a daily basis, so this is why they have more bite, right...

    Ceramic paint treatment?

    Yes, You are correct. Soft pads and soft rotors, make for more parts sales. Makes a whole lot of sense that trucks use a magnetic retarder. The trucks I work with can have either up to 4 levels of engine braking, and/or some form of magnetic retarder. I don’t know why we don’t have these in...

    Ceramic paint treatment?

    Next time you replace pads, go for an Australian made Bendix pad. These are slightly harder, longer lasting and most importantly create substantially less dust. These can come in a range of types, sports or heavy duty being the hardest, however the harder the pad, the less effective they are...

    Same here mate. A bit of a full on week with back to back meetings, and heaps of face time with customers and their new trucks. It’s actually been working pretty well. I can train someone in Newcastle for 2 hours, then 15 minutes later do the same with a customer in prestons. How’s the beer...

    Oh yeah. I’ll ask her as they get classic cars all the time to work on. They have the only dyno between Sydney & Melbourne, so all the nice cars come to them.

    A comfy happy dog = a happy Brian. The ride on my nieces F350 is quite good. However it brings a whole new meaning to awkward parking. I can park a prime mover easier than this big prick!
