Wax on, wax off!!!
« on: 03 March 2006, 18:47 »
Hi guys, have just collected my Mk2 Golf from the body shop (had the badges below the boot removed) and so am hoping for the weather to have a 'reet good clean tomorrow.

As the car has stood for most of the last year, the window seals have started to grow a life of there own, so does anybody suggest anything that might help get them back????

Also, whats generally the best wax to use on the paint?? and does it matter which brand of back to black i use (or are they all the same)???

Apols for the ignorance but it is my 1st car!!!

if its just been painted then dont polish it.... give it a few more days to harden... otherwise autoglym is a good all rounder zymol is ok but really dusty and can leave swirls, i use something called showtime (froma valet supplier) or gold glass mequires, for back to black i use mequires tyre shine on the bumpers its thick and lasts ok when rubbed in with a cloth in small amounts.

The best bit of advice you will get. Other than that, Meguires or Autoglym are my favourites.

If you know any friendly Valeters who use Autosmart products then they do a pure carnuba wax that is world class,   :smiley: also used to to a polish called Golden Touch, this has been replaced with something an an aluminium bottle that is better still, but i have forgotten the name, :sad:  Where about in Stoke are You??

If its just been painted I wouldnt polish it for about a month and when you do you could try meguiers tech wax, I havent used it on my red golf yet but when I used it on the black one I had the results were very good but as I said for now I'd just wash it carefully and polish it later on the last thing you want is swirl marks in your new paint job
