Sootchucker: That's exactly the place. Never recalled my GTD ever flexing there when rubbing the bodywork during sealant application, must have missed it.

Anytime that'sconvenient for you Chris! Any other tweaks to suggest (i'm not really up on the recent VCDS tweaks)?

Do you have an Apple phone, but no green collared MDI lead?

Machine polished the front wing tonight to get rid of 3 very stubborn bird poo etchings that weren't shifting with anything

Came up good :)

That's poor.
I only knew about them as someone else recommended some of their products.
Have you never tried Tardis? I just meet the rep on his local travels and get a 5L container. Its great stuff.

Never tried tardis but have heard good things about it. How do you apply it, is it a spray solution?

Really easy to use - brilliant tar remover

As Tardis is solvent based - good idea to use a chemical resistant spray head (as opposed to a standard one) if decanting it into a spray bottle.

Matt, keep the comparisons coming. They are very informative.
Hopefully you'll do an in-depth going from a GTD to an R and any differences as used as a daily driver.
Cheers.

You are so tempted!  :evil:



Yes mate very tempted. Although a couple of things stopping me just now.
I'm only 1 year into a 4 year PCP so it will probably be quite dear to change.
Plus I'm keen to see what the Club GTI / R400/420 is all about before going ahead.

So got out of work today and to my dismay I had a bird poo on my lovely paintwork! I was a bit concerned after reading various posts on soft paintwork and damage caused by bird poo. But as soon as I got home I washed it off with some hot water and thankfully paintwork is unblemished  :smiley:
