Clean Mk7s

With the snow foam I followed the instructions which said 300ml in a 1 litre snow foam bottle. It was rather thick  This was the first time I've used iron out. I was quite shocked how much contamination there was on the paintwork, with the car being transported by train from the factory I wanted to remove all the industrial fallout from the bodywork. It comes in a bottle and you spray it onto the whole car, leave it 10 minutes then wash off. The spray does sink though

Ah right maybe I should read the back of mine again. I'll look into that iron out because I can imagine its a worthwhile product to use. How easy do you find claying the car?

After using the iron out spray the clay bar didn't remove much so it was quick and easy

On the tyre dress discussion I bought some of this and its works so well.

I need to check out the range of gear in my free Autoglym set of bottles. So far extremely happy the way G-Techniq C2V3 is holding up. My dad's has been on 6 months and still going strong.

I got some of this stuff to try for free

300ml of snow foam in a 1 litre bottle is much too much. I have a pump on top of my bottle and its just about 2 squirts, then a couple of a decent shampoo and top up with water. Excellent thick long dwelling foam.

Great job Simon, looks superb! In terms of tyre dressing - there are lots of good products depending on the finish you're after. My recommendations are:

Meguiars Endurance gel - very glossy finish and very sticky to touch, but lasts ages! A viscous liquid which should be applied on an applicator.

Dodo Juice Basics Tyre & Trim - Very natural Satin finish, very thin liquid (apply in a cup with a paint brush)

Personally I prefer the basics stuff, leaves this kind of finish...



Hope this helps

Auto Finesse is good stuff too:-

Think tyre dressing is next thing I need to invest in. Do you use a brush to apply?
