The woolly mammoth is bigger, unless you can find the XL uber yellow then they're similar sized. Uber is just better, in every way. I'm on my 4th I think, and always choose it over my woolly mammoth

The Meguiars microfibre pads and compounds are simple to use, or menzerna compounds and hexlogic pads are a good combo. Without seeing the condition it's hard to give any constructive recommendations

1 should be fine, 2 if you wasn't to guarantee full coverage, but I've had one coat last almost 2years on It's own

How do you get through so much BSD? Thoughts on the VP sponge? I still prefer the uber yellow towels to my woolly mammoth

within an hour IIRC, to help stop water affecting the coating from curing

ive just taken the alloys off my old golf to sell it and they had C5 on them about 2 years ago and a quick wash and they're still coming up spotless. nano sealants for wheels are the only option for me

Yes If you want to use both, start with rejuvenate, then tripple over the top as the fillers will then sit over a base left by rejuvenate which leaves behind a little of its own oils but not so much fillers, but these will be removed by tripple. lay tripple first, the fillers will be removed...

Most generic glass polishes are not a true polish in the sense of abrasive. Some contain very mild abrasives to aid cleaning but most a a thorough cleanser, but more than a typical glass cleaner. Rob at GTechniq advised G4 polish will not remove G1 sealant. nor would the AG glass polish. Best to...

The AG stuff is ok. GTechniq G4 is good, or a propper polish there is CarPro ceriglass

I've found the newer gt from factory ran 225 on the 7.5j, can't see any difference chassic and suspension. Picked up the car this evening and it looks so pony on the standard 16's. At least the mk4 on 16's looked purposeful

Bsd can be fussy over what it's applied over. Over a wax I didn't really rate it anything special. Used it over sonax polymer net shield and it was significantly better Coby, what's the colour and condition of the paint. I'd always use rejuvenate as it still pulls so much dirt from the paint...

I have an older mk5 Golf gt tdi with the standard 16" wheels and 205/55/16 tyres. Getting the newer version 7.5j x 17" GT wheels for it and unsure whether to go for 215/45/17 or 225/45/17. The 215 tyre is almost an identical match to the 16's but not sure which would be best tyre size to go for...

Ron, no real need for SRP and amigo. SRP will have more cleansers in it, but both have fillers albeit amigo will have more. Tripple in my oppinion cleanses and fills better than both

1. Ant-Scrooge 2. MatthewR 3. Ado 4. Tim. 5. 182_adam - PAID 6. Yellow Dave PAID 7. Coby. - PAID 8. -KarL- - PAID 9. 10.

By next weekend is getting a bit tight. I'd only trust i4d and elitecarcare for prompt delivery if this doesn't materialise

Coby, get a small tea spoon and squash, mash the wax back together as it warms up it'll soften and become workable again. Had ag HD wax do something similar

Tripple is a cleaner and very very mild abrasive, this will remove the worst if not all the previous product and lay down its own fillers and base ready to re wax. Work tripple until it starts to haze then it's prety much done and then remove

Opti seal the spray sealant? Supposed to be pretty good, similar type of thing to C2 or Reload iirc

wonder wheels hot wheels can be found for a few £ in supermarkets. If you really don't care for the paint, their are strong acid and alkali based wheel cleaners that will strip off most grime and brake dust but will more than likely damage the paint.

THIS COMPETITION HAS CLOSED AS OF THURSDAY AT 14:00

Keep an eye on the marring it can leave behind. I'm generally quite careful with my CG one, but used it on an old discovery and didn't really pay too much attention. After waxing I thought the wax was leaving holograms, turned out to be the damage I inflicted.

If there is not much more interest, I can always ask a friend as he may be interested, I'd still pay myself etc

3m pads are nice, and an easy combo with their polishes. definitely get their blue and yellow. Green can be a bit coarse from my little trial with it so maybe consider wool pad instead. Renaultsport models is different paint to standard Renault paint and can be a bit hard, but not VAG hard...

Iirc jap paint is typically very soft. The Honda and Subaru I played with only needed finishing pads
