Title: Dirty Rear
Post by: modulater on 25 August 2003, 11:28

Its been very hot weather recently and I was just wondering if any other people have had the wax running out of the hatchback onto the rear panel.

Just goes to show how well made the cars are I suppose.

I used to have the same on my MK2, used to use Meths and a very soft cloth to get it off.

If i use meths or white spirit, i thought that would damage the paint?

Hello all you have to do is boil the kettle and pour it on the wax and simply wipe it off very nice. ;D ;D ;D

Never thought of the kettle trick, normally use white spirit after jet washing the car to make sure theres no dirt around to scratch the paint.
