Detailing / Re: Estoril black - detailing
« Last post by candywhite12 on 08 January 2026, 14:43 »Go ceramic rather than wax. Better and much longer lasting. I used Gtechniq wheel armour and very happy. The wheels just jet wash clean (with some Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel first).
was thinking both tbh. far as i know, you can apply wax over ceramic for greater protection and re-apply in intervals every 2-3 months until the car needs ceramic coating again. Would think that wax over ceramic would add extra layer of protection

Golf mk6 / Re: Any ideas what this could be please?

Take out the cabin filter and spray it with a nice aftershave or scent and lasts a while thru the vents?

Golf mk7 / Re: Headlights
« Last post by Carbon VW on 08 January 2026, 13:29 »Hi all, dipped headlight blew. What’s a good replacement that will upgrade the original poor lights?Hi there dipped and main are the same bulb. It’s just a shutter that goes up and down to shield a portion of the light. The xenon replacement is just a D3S (replace both). The painful bit is having to remove the headlight to fit them. You can go down the road up upgrading to LED’s which you can find more info on in here by using the search function. Good luck.
