You got it :D dont ask me to name yours though because i havent got a clue :scratch: :lol:

How about this one then :wink:

Looks superb mate! I have just got the passat stuff in mine and its very dim and doesnt light up the whole way round :roll: Shame about that bloody middle control being green though!

Cheers! I would imagine just an all purpose cleaner would do the trick as well, just give it a good scrub!

Yes and yes :lol: they were a bit easy though!

And this: (first picture is spelt slightly different!)

What about this one: (very easy!)

Correct! His was the last message i replied to so i used him lol.

I got one:

Is it a fabric hood??? When cleaning a soft top the best way is to rinse with a hose (not a pressure washer), quick brush over with a soft brush, pat dry with drying towel. Then a good tip is to then go over it with one of those lint rollers to collect all fibres left from the drying towel and general crap. Then protect it with either: AG Fabric Convertible Kit Chemical Guys Fabric Guard 3M Heavy Duty Scotchguard The scotchguard can be bought from B&Q for about a tenner. Some other good stuff is Renovo which is supposed to be very good for faded roofs but quite expensive.

Ardandy has done a really good guide on how to clean a VR6 engine bay HERE. Basically you need some AG Machine Cleaner, spray everything, agitate with a brush of some sort and then hose/wipe away.

Nah it isnt im 20 and got a vr6 AND im supercharging it :D

Yeah that sounds fine mate! Have fun and get some pics up when you do it :D

Oh and i forgot to mention g60greeny that the RMG is also a super filler like AG SRP so it will hide a lot of swirls you may have in the paint. So if you were thinking of using SRP first, there's no need as RMG is supposed to fill almost as many swirls as SRP. There's a bit of a debate on whether its ok to add RMG over SRP, the SRP to fill swirls and as has light abrasives cut away any minor defects and oxidisation etc and then the RMG on top to fill in extra swirls the SRP didnt get to and give the wet shine. Some guys seem to think that the RMG wont bond to SRP because the SRP is meant to protect as well which means its a minor sealant. But i and some other big shots in the detailing world have used both without any problems.

Going back on topic, the Victoria Concours wax that i have (red wax) is superb on dark and red based cars. But the Victoria Collectors (yellow wax) is supposed to be very good on light cars and even whites which is hard to find a good anything for :lol: but durability wise is not as good as the collinite which lasts a lifetime.

Nice one, you will be very pleased with the results, the RMG makes the paint looks soaking wet on its own and then the victoria wax gives it a really nice warm shine. The wax can be applied via bare hands which is what i done at first just to give it a go, but now i just use a foam applicator as its much easier to do!! Dont know if its any better or worse though :?

:lol: yeah its good stuff, the longer you leave it on the better finish you seem to get from it imo. I was like that when i used the Clearkote Red Moose Glaze first last week for the pod show, i put it on and it looked soaking wet, awesome stuff! For the price the Collinite 476s is superb stuff, only £15 and will last forever as its quite a hard paste wax, you just rub a foam applicator over and wipe on your paint. I have done a few cars with mine and it doesnt look like i have touched it lol.

Collinite 476s is very good on light cars, with the 915 being better for dark cars. A polish is a polish really so i would stay stick with SRP. But if you want a wet looking shine then you could add a glaze on top of the polish before waxing, the Clearkote glazes are superb for the pure wet look they leave. Followed by the collinite for superb durability. Or another good product that goes with SRP is the Extra Gloss Protection which adds a wet shine and protects as its a sealant, you can also add wax on top if you want that extra durability.
