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: 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...

Rear lamp condesation
guys since ive had my car the rear offside lens always has condesation build up.
anyone else notice their cars with this problem?? if so how was it fixed
seems like such a minor thing i cannot be bothered to book it into a dealer to have it looked at
how hard is it to take out the lamp??

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
