Tar and Super guard

[neilgcal]

Hey guys and girls

Im still waiting patiently for my GTI to arrive but was trying to decide about getting super guard or not. Does anyone know what it really does? Also since my GTI will be in white does it mean tar is easier to remove? Also does anyone know how to get tar off as i seem to have lots of little specs on my red GT TDI and since it shows on there i don't want my new white one to look a mess!

Tar remover 

ghetto fix thats really good cheap for removing tar is WD40.  I sh!t you not...

if you can afford it, then definitely get the superguard - 100%.  i have it on my mk 5 gti and after 2 and a half years and 35000 miles i don't have a scratch on the bodywork (the dealer couldn't believe it when i had it valued when i ordered my mk6!) - so yes, its defo worth it and in my opinion would be the first option i would add when ordering a car.  hope that helps!

How much is supergard ?

Dont get supaguard! Its a huge con (confirmed by people i know that work in dealers)

A good wash, polish and wax is a billion times more effective!

For anyone who stumped up the money i advise you not to click this link

I (and every other detailer in the world) can assure you its crap

i'm only telling you my experience - every other car i have had got stone chips etc on the bodywork.  my mk5 had superguard, not a scratch on it.  now unless stones don't like red cars after 35,000 miles then i would imagine the superguard works!  :-)

i can't remember how much it cost, but i had it chucked in for free with my new car so that link doesn't upset me in the slightest!

lol will just be good paint, my 32000 mile R32 hardly has any stone chips either mate  

The interior stuff is good but the exterior stuff is no better than any sealant. In fact probably worse as its an old product, something like Jetseal 109 sealant or collonite will spank it for shine, beading, longevity and cost!

Feel free to search on detailingworld, there several threads with the proffesionals stateing it does work, but not for long and not worth the cost.

I have detailed a few cars and can tell you first hand you will not see much more than 6-8 months from any product  

(check my thread if you dont think i know what im talking about)

I do have it on here but that thread is updated with pics

i believe you, i'm just saying from my own personal experiance of quite a few cars that it worked for me.  plus it has a 10 year guarantee!

I would listen to Jules on this one, this is one topic he knows his stuff on.
