BEWARE - TYRE DRESSINGS CONTAINING "HEPTANE" STAIN AND DAMAGE YOUR WHITE PAINT!

Bruin, In relation to your original post a couple of weeks ago. A mate of mine bought a Astra Nurburgring last year and when he washed it noticed some marks in the paint around the rear wheel arches. Vauxhall sent their UK warrenty manager to the dealer to look at the car within a week and between him and the dealer they agreed it was the manufacturers fault. However all they would do was to repaint the car! My mate didn't want his 2 week old car touched with a spray gun and handed it back to them with the keys. Vauxhall then found him another car at a dealer and arranged for that as a replacement. Hope this helps.

sadly there aren't many spare GTIs floating about in the system.  best would be to keep hold of your car whilst another is ordered and built - circa 8 week wait.

Or just leave your tyres 'undressed'...

They might do on a black car if the tyres are a few years old or you've got black wheels, but with colours lighter than black and proper (silver) wheels, the tyres always look black.
