Both autos in my garage are new VW's in Pearl black. Wondering whats the best wax for black paint ? I keep on top of my auto's, claying, and doing a complete paint correction (compound and polish when new cos they had dealer installed swirls). From there washing weekly and waxing between...

And i thought i was obsessive. :xyxthumbs:

My problem is i was a kid when the trilogy's first came out and they were amazing. I became besotted so to speak. toys, stickers, would have killed for the Keller falcon as a kid. Part of my growing up TBH. Today i'm a grown adult and even the originals, they're just good movies. A distant...

Thanks all, thought i'd update though all this was completed a couple of weeks ago.. I went ahead and did the full, clay, compound, polish and wax and she came out perfect. All swirls completely gone. Happy as punch with the results ! Spent about 5hrs in total. But hey its all good fun ! Thanks...

I do a proper wax approx every 3 months, but use a spray wax or waterless wash /w wax every week.

oh yeah i know its a complete scam. One i would have said no way too, except when this particuar car was delivered the previous dealer (as it was a dealer trade) had already applied it. Car looks like crap. The worst swirling i've seen to come off a lot. Almost haze like. I'll tackle it this...

Thanks all, my biggest worry is that they applied this coating to an already swirled up car thus making it much harder to get the swirls out. Maybe the car was on the lot for a couple of months, and regularly going through their dreaded automatic car wash as the dealers do to all their cars on...

Done a dealer trade for a new car i was looking for, as it had the transmission i was after, which couldn't be found locally. Anyway cutting a long story short, when the car was delivered, i found out that they applied a product called 'auto bond'. http://autobondsealant.com/...

Bumping this. I've been a longtime Towel Kleen user. Great stuff. However, we've just purchased an all new signing and dancing HE (High efficiency) washer. You're only supposed to use HE detergents in this machine.. I've just pulled my TK out and it doesn't mention anything about being ok to...

Megs hyper dressing. diluted to 3:1 is my absolute favorite. Does not flick off, gives the tires a nice deep matt shine that all others struggle at. OK so it doesn't last months and months, but who cares, i'm detailing all the time anyway.

Question regarding Collnite 845, as i was given a sample by a buddy of mine, after he really rated it... Can you get some on plastic trim, and not worry about it? Also what about applying in direct sunlight? is that acceptable on Collnite 845? Up til now, I've been an Megs ULW or Turtle wax...

Superdegreaser at 4:1, and a scrubbing brush, cloth wipedown then some D170 Hyper Dressing. Dial into your preference on shine. From 4:1 to 1:1. May not last a yr, but it looks nicer than any other i've tried.

I like glass cleaning MF's for delicate dashes and what not, because they leave no lint.

Thanks everyone, I'll give the LM product a try and see if it works out well.

TBH I can't remember. I have four 32oz sprays. 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 & 4:1. I'm guessing i probably went with 4:1, as I used 1:1 on the tires. Really was my first time using it and i came away very impressed. As i came to quickly realize, especially on the tires, you really do not need a lot. Like one...

I agree. My previous 2012 CC R-Line had leatherette... Which annoyed the heck out of me.. The missus who was driving around in the Tig SEL, had nice leather seating surfaces, and I kept reminding her that I was parking my butt on pleather every day! I was pleasantly surprised that VW upped...

SEL with beige leather.

Being that the leather is actually clear coated though, does the leather protection cream, do anything other than put a coating over the coating? In other words is it really doing anything to preserve the leather itself. Has there been any conclusive long term tests done for auto leather...

I used Megs HD today for the first time with great results. That'll be my goto wheel well cleaner from here onwards.

Hi, I have two cars with leather. A 2013 VW Tiguan with beige leather which is the kid carrier and therefore gets used a lot, and a 2015 VW Gti which only has me driving it, and the leather will stay clean and perfect so to speak. On the Tiguan today I used some Meguiars APC @ 4:1 and a...
