If that's correct I doubt it's for the hobbyist/average joe to apply
Golf GT & A4 Avant
approved detailer only IIRC. From comments I've seen, if you get it wrong its considerably more difficult to rectify than existing coatings. normal C1 and like coatings are difficult enough as it is if they're left too long, over applied etc
Another one from me!
What are peoples favourite polishes to uses on hex-logic pads for correction?

menzerna for a beginner, they seem to be fairly straight forward and easy to use with a basic technique
Cheers, I'll have a look at menz stuff then!
Prime doesn't really work by machine. It's still excellent by hand though!
I find tripple does but I didn't like Rejuvinate (by rotary, haven't tried it with DA yet)
Why didnt the code work?

Hi all,
My Clio has masses of tar and rusty colored spat on it, whats the best cleaning products to remove this, ive used metallic T-cut and it does remove it but takes alot of time and then a full polish and then a week later it is as bad and stook on solid again how can i protect it from this happening?
Cheers lads!

For the tar spots, a tar remover can be sprayed on and wiped off, Carpro TarX or Autofinesse Oblitarate
Rusty spots can be dealt with with a fallout / iron remover like Carpro IronX or Autofinesse Iron Out

I still haven't worked out how to get pics up on here!
GCC: I recently bough a bottle of gtechniq c2 trim restorer, was very displeased when it arrived at the size of the bottle, but my god it's brilliant!
Only need a few drops, used about 1/10ths of the bottle for my whole car, and it's suppose to last for upto 2 years! Definitely recommend!
Do you mean this stuff??

Edit:
Anyone used this on trim? I see it's trim or tyre, but there are no reviews on here for it, and if I can be a tight arse and buy one product to do two things then all the better lol

I can see why you were a little surprised by the size of the bottle, 15ml is not a lot for that money!!!

I 100% recommend it though mate, was a bit skeptical about it to start of with but the results are stunning.
Been on now for 2 months and hasn't faded one bit.
If you are to get it, make sure to buy a bottle of IPA aswell and make sure the surface is correctly prepped
The beer?. Lol
Good call though, I'll search it out now as I was about to press send on my order after adding it to the order.
Thanks

Haha not quiet
IPA - isopropanol alcohol
very good at cleaning the surface, also drys it out so when you apply the C4 it has a good bonding surface
Something like this

C2 works on any surface and works well.
C4 is a semi permanent coating, not dressing and provide that the proper prep to give a bare clean base it typically lasts 18 months maybe more. If the prep isn't right or not clean it won't bond or last. After a thorough clean a wipe down with IPA or panelwipe is strongly recommended to remove any oils or residue.
GCC, t1 is good on tyres, thought Autofinesse revive was better on plastics

Okay so this is what I have thrown together, any other suggestions? Also am I better off getting this kit instead of the two bottle of menz? Only thing is its PF2500 not PF2200 if that makes a big difference?

I bought the cyc Menz starter kit and found that power finish isn't aggressive enough except for on the plastics. Will be ordering something extra soon.
Fair enough, I'll not bother with that then!

Looks pretty impressive. If I was getting a brand new expensive car (to keep) I'd definitely consider gettting it done.
