Scirocco Central

Washing out of direct sunlight is the way forward - so time of day plays a big part as does the geography of your wash bay. Dry the car pretty much immediately with towels or blow dry with a blower and use Koch Chemie FSE if you live in a particularly hard Water area - I do and have suffered the sam...

Horses for courses - I use FinishKare 1000p High Temp sealant on Walter - goes on easy and keeps the dust off the surface making it wipe cleanable

Use as little as possible, just a wipe with a MF or applicator pad - simples

Cheap too so win win

Use that on the works hilux - got to say that it's cheap & cheerful & does exactly what it says on the tin

Given time & sunshine though I'd rather use MS

Morning all - trust your still stuffed full of turkey or other festive fodder ! As you know I'm a big fan of a clean car & wanted to bring something I've just tried to your attention A little advertised company called monster shine (getting rave reviews over on detailing world) I tried the high ...

Morning,
Try a general APC like g101 at appropriate dilution ratio (think mine is 11:1) and a soft bristle brush after scooping whatever residue is left with a paper towel
Finish with some plastic cleaner (dressle, etc ) should be good as new

Great job, looks lovely !

Hi, I got the same message from black circles so I rang them up to confirm
Upshot two fitted front tyres zero issues & they stick to the road like a freshly picked bogey in double maths !

Hardly - s'true

Still drive a scirocco mind, & the insurance is cheap !

Question, is it wrong to wish for SAGA ? Only 30 months ....

Could be worse Dimexi, you could BE in your mid (or late) 40,s - like me !

Busy weekend for Walter - MOT Friday with a retest Saturday first thing Apparently honeycomb backgrounds are now an MOT failure :grumpy: - since June 16!!! However friendly tester allowed me to stick old number plates over the top for the five minutes necessary to satisfy himself that he was legal a...

Welcome ! Watch the Junkman on YouTube - he'll break it all down for you The U.K. Version of the Porter Cable is the Das6 Pro - pretty easy to use Like everything else in life it's best to research and understand what your getting into but a hex logic orange pad with Megs 105 and a hex logic white p...

Welcome Welchy - good to have you aboard ! Car looks good. Lots to read on detailing world if you get bitten by the bug. It can be expensive & everyone has an opinion but if you like cleaning cars or owning a clean car there's lots of choice & even more opinion, best bet is find what works f...

Hiya The basic rule of thumb is to touch the paint as little as possible during the clean. For the actual wash get a microfibre madness incridimitt/ incredisponge - sponges are likely the cause of your problem The theory (solid) is that the uniform density of the sponge along with its flat surface c...

The latest Bluetooth units display track info - sadly I bought an older model from eBay which doesn't support information but it's on my iPhone display anyway so I'm not really bothered - not bothered enough to spent the £200 needed to rectify it anyhow I have a link to the exact mate at model T wor...

Thanks guys good thoughts & worth checking
Recirc was on for a while but not used regularly

Ok before you all slap your heads & think this is about greenhouse gasses (especially you R racers out there, you know who you are :) ) this is not a crusade on behalf of the greens So a couple of weeks ago I popped down to Bournemouth for my lil bros stag & during the trip I noticed that th...

Front plate courtesy of ProPlates - & with thanks to UKLee

Sure thing - excuse the quick pic
Not as much as the budget Capitol tyres currently "gracing" my rear rims but hopefully adequate

Good question - just checked and they are 3's
The grip is astonishing even in the first 10 miles

Hi Rob I'm a big fan of Dean Bowles out at Wingham on the outskirts of Canterbury - he's just done a fantastic job on Walters rear bumper tidying up some previous mild damage & now looks beautiful ! He's on the staple road industrial est but keeps some odd hours so it's best to ring him on 07879...
