Added step - I forgot to add it is worth applying a small amount of copper grease to each wheel bolt and even between the wheel face and hub (if you not showing the car) to stop bits sticking together. I know some people recommend not doing this and don't do. Up to you. Helps removal next time...

Step 6 - Refit Wheels If you are planning on showing the vehicle it is worth dressing the inside profile of the tyre and spare wheel if fitted. Replace the spare back under the car and re attch the road wheels. Dress the tyres. Step 7 - Torque! Jack the car up and remove the axle...

Step 5 - Wheel Sealant. Dry the wheels off and then its an ideal time to polish and seal inside and out. After washing, degreasing and tar removing, polish and seal. Autoglym Super Resin and Extra Gloss or Klasse AIO and SG are ideal for this task. Can then be followed by a dedicated wheel...

Sponge time yes sponge ! Step 4 - Scrub It! The degreaser and water will do a good job of cleaning up the arches and floorpan quite well. But a scrub with soapy water will really be needed to get them properly clean. Some cheap car wash and a sponge cut in half is ideal to scrub the areas...

Step 3 - If you car has a spare now is a good time to drop it down to allow full access to the back floorpan Chances are it will be quite dirty! Step 4 - Degrease To help shift any stubborn muck liberally spray a good cleaner to the arches and floor pan, allow few mins for it to do its...

Jack, Axle stands, and lot of patience. Really is a mispent youth! At the risk of getting abuse a guide I did on another forum copied and pasted. On a car that has had real use unlike my own I will be honest a pressure washer and TFR/ Degreaser are the first stage and then lot os hours on your...

Clay bar removes above the surface contamination won't touch it. Megs Gold Glass Wax is mostly a wax with mild cleaners and glazing oils, will fill and hide the marks not remove them. Working by hand will need some elbow grease. Beware of Harsh old fashioned products such as Autoglym Paint...

Light on all the time means you have switched it off.

Black VW paint is always good fun!!!!

Oh yes, speaking first hand from my old 309 GTi

I would not trust any degreaser/tfr not to remove some if not all the wax or sealant.

There is no real benefit to leaving the SRP on for mins, anything you buff off is just wasted product. Work a panel at a time and work it until it has gone. The Paint Renovator is a fairly aggressive polish, like any poilsh mild or harsh the way polish works is by removing paint or clearcoat...

If they are Alcanatara, nothing more than a damp cloth and a mild mix of something like AG Interior Shampoo really.

Grabbed a copy yesterday some stunning photography in there. Not read any of it yet.

Mines booked in for it's first MOT on Tuesday.

No more Mr Bond !

309 GTi 6 and pocket shed loads of change!

Hey ? When I ordered mine there was a Racing Blue, Inferno and Black Gold in at the dealers, you can imagine how nasty Inferno looked on a dull wet, damp December day. Like Paddock Green, Rare for a reason.

No I am worse, I dislike more colours than Christopher.

lol - Seconds out - ding ding - Round 3 - Free Blue vs Rusty Orange - FIGHT!

After seeing your matts, I would stay quiet. Imagine some in yours with inferno piping.

The Acrylic one is designed to go over Klasse Sealant and Glaze and Jeffs etc, not as nice a product as the Carnuba one, or as effective over a wax.

Working by hand ? If do Autoglym Super Resin, HD Cleanse and Wax.

If it marrs I willa comea around and marra your faceeee, ok ???? More than slight marring :-(

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread More progress, looking good.

After a non silk edged towel damaged the paint on the front wing I am now fussy about towels :(

Lunch break cough cough! Doubt I will ever use them on paintwork, in the same way I have 3 unused Monster Fluffies I have never used on paint due to the edging.

Inital impressions I am disapointed with mine - just turned up today, have horrible edges just like the Monster Fluffies.
