Re: 1st Longlife service cost

On that note I'm pleased I managed to get the '£250' 3yrs servicing thrown into the deal! Quite a hefty price for a service in comparison to my mk2 golf... 25 quid and an hour of my time! depends on the mileage you do surely ive just had my car serviced and it cost a total of £170. the mileage was ...

Re: Rear lamp condesation

just a quick update

condesation kept on returning so i booked the car into VW. The near side lamp was fine whereas the offside kept on misting up

the dealer replaced the whole lamp and the condesation has not returned ! ! !

Re: Tar spots?

quality reflects wrote:Yes ITR will work well. You need to allow the product to soak into the tar for a bit then wipe away. Another alternative is a clay bar.

HTH
Clay Bar :yes:

easy to use and removes a lot grime. Even stuff the naked eye cannot see

Re: How often should I polish, seal and wax?

for a more durable wax collinite 476 is worth a look. Hard wearing wax. i use to use p21s/R222 but as you said it dont last long. But does give a good deep shine I've been using 476 and the car still beads very well. Over the last week the dirt is still sliding off the paint 476 for the winter and i...

Re: Machine polishers

i use a G220 which is a DA and its a joy to use. Rotary are very good and you can results very quickly. But if you dont know what your doing you can cause a lot of damage to the paint. i would say unless you have a good understanding of polishing a Dual Action polisher would be more than sufficient....

Re: Damaged Paintwork

i pick up my roc friday upon making order i told the sales guy to NOT WASH or prep the car. leave it as it is with all the factory protectors on it and no to even screw the number plates on spoke to him today and its still the case. In so many cases the car gets damaged more then being preped properly
