Love the red mate, very deep shine there what products have you used? Those tyre's Falkins any good?
-
glad your loving the jetseal guys, it is a very good sealant, you can also cap it off with a durable wax ie colli 845,476 which will extend the durabilty of the protection.
nice one guys

Thanks, used Dodo supernatural Clay, 1 coat of Megs deep crystal polish, 2 x JS109 and 2 x Megs tech wax 2.0 liquid. I've then put another 2 coats of wax on since, after washing. I know the Megs stuff doesn't get rave reviews and i probably will invest in some colli as Dan suggests soon!
I really rate the Falkens, my budget didn't stretch to Conti's and i have a mate who is a Falken agent so i get them for around £70 per corner! Grip is brilliant in both wet and dry so i can't complain!

How much milage are you getting out of the Falkins? I did coat my alloy's with Colli 476 on top of the JS109 . I have also been useing Dodo SN wax ,is ok to mix these dan? :undecided:

Not sure to be honest, I've only had the car sine July, put 4 new tyres on it when I got it because the previous owner had put cheap and nasty Barums on it and it handles like a bag of spuds!
So if i was to go for some wax on top of the JS109 as opposed to the Megs stuff, what would you recommend? Anything Dodo or Colli? Which wax in particular would you recommend for Tornado Red? Never used a paste wax, is it difficult?

I use Colli & Dodo super natural, the colli does last longer more a winter wax but SN is just brilliant for the ubber wet look finish amazing stuff but not cheap £65 but well worth it IMO. Its all about the the beads and boy does it bead :grin: The colli is difficult to wax off be prepared for some sweat :grin:

if your struggling to get collinite off then your applying too much
-
Yes, i agree there I do put plenty on :rolleyes:, but its still more difficult to get off than the SN :undecided:

What would you recommend for my Tornado Red GTI on the previous page? I want some good wax, better than the Megs stuff i currently use but i dont think my budget stretches to the supernatural.
Would you recommend Colli or any other Dodo wax?

I havent it used myself, but I hear purple haze is the one?? Colli 476 is about is about £18 and last's forever!! I'm sure Dan will be along with best options as far as wax is concerned??

If you have a look at the main 8 Dodo range, there are 4 soft, and 4 hard waxes. Basically, the soft give a deeper wetter finish, whereas the hard are slightly more durable. I'm a huge fan of the soft range :smiley:

Thanks, i'll be looking at some Dodo orange crush soon i think! Whats the diff between this and Purple Haze? Just different colour and smell?

have a look at a mk2 i did a month or so ago http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=159011.0 the pics dont do it justice as it looks redder than that in the flesh but it gives you a rough idea :wink:
i used purple haze pro which is more durable than the core 8 range but needs around the same curing time as supernatural and requires a second buff.
you need firstly get all your polishing done then get some collinite 845 or 476 layered up to really seal the paint then once a month or so give it some dodo wax to bump the gloss up along with the protection.
as chris said the soft waxes in the core 8 are very good,i highly recomend purple haze and rainforest rub!both are awesome waxes.
