And for your alloys, use nothing other than jetseal 109

Nah - bit of tar remover, AG SRP, poorboys wheel sealant (two coats) and then wax (I used Pete's 53) - fantastic finish and doddle to clean once done!

Hmm, why take 15 bottles to the car when you can just use Jetseal and go.  :grin:

edit: do have to ask WHY this topic hasn't been posted in detailing for the benefit of everyone and not just mk6 persons?  :rolleyes:

32700 mate, bought it 30200 in Feb.

I think i may need new brakes, getting a clicking sound echoing off walls when driving along. It goes when i brake? No idea what it is though! Maybe a pad shim sticking or something?
