Sorry to hijack this thread I bought some AG super resin polish (I'm a fan of this stuff) Normally its quite thick like jif/cif bath cleaner however the last bottle I bought I was shocked when i opened it to find it very runny/thin. Does anyone know is AG have have changed the consistency of their resin polish or have I bought a duff bottle? Cheers Alan

I've noticed this too with the engine tilting slightly to the right I dont know if this is normal or a problem. I've had the C in specialist VW garages a few times since I've owned it and nobody has ever brought it to my attention so I'm only presuming that everything is fine. In fact it's in for a service sometime next week so I'll pop the question when I take it in unless someone gets back with defonate answer.

LOL top reply :lol:

I get that feeling every 24 hours :lol:

Redemption. Those wheels look nice get the funds sorted soon.

Got the first vote in HA HA

Just an update I spent a gruelling 9 hours on Saturday detailing my car :- wash compounding wash claying wash polish* 2 wax The C came up very nice and I'm more than happy the the effort I put in but hats off to all of you out there who do this professionally/regulary I was knackered at the end of it all. The collinite finished me off at the end what a :censored: to remove but worth it. I will apply another coat sometime this week then hopefully that will be it for the winter.

Thanks for the advice millerman tip noted and logged :salute:

Nice overtake on the R32 :wink: when I first spotted it I thought to myself OMG somebody's took a people carrier on the track it looked that high off the ground :lol:

G/F spotted a VR6 blackberry on Thursday in Mickle Trafford near the post office at about 1300 ish. Said it looked very nice. I've not seen any for over 3 months now :( Anyone on here?

I've just ordered collinite 915 via the link provided by Neil VR6 - clean your car.co.uk :D Thanks Neil just hope I get the weather and time to do the C justice. I'll let you know how I get on with it.

As always with these type of questions it does open up a can of worms but it was something I was expecting. There is great advice out there and I've never been one for really getting the best look out of a car until I bought the C. I try to keep it looking good. Preperation is key to a good finish so I shall be buying more than just wax - clay bar and polish ect. Thanks again to all who have helped and supplied links I'll get round to having a proper look soon when I get time :D Alan

Thanks guys. looks like there are plenty of products out there which will do the job nicely. I've never tried the collinite range before. I'll give it ago. Is this wax avaiable via retail or is the internet the best bet? Cheers Alan

At the moment I'm using Megs NXT tech wax 2 Its easy to apply and brings the car up nice and I'm happy with the result. However with winter fast approaching I'm wondering is there a more "heavy duty" wax which I should be using? The car is used as a daily and I'm thinking the Megs may be a little light for winter use. Or am I wrong and the Megs will be ok. Any comments will be appreciated and I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who may be thinking the same. Cheers Alan

I took my VR to a local VW specailist who plugged his VAG COM to my car and reset all the fault codes regarding the engine/ ABS and was told it was the two front ABS sensors which had gone. He didnt charge me for use of his VAG COM as I gave him the work. Hopefully (fingers crossed) thats the last of this fault I'll see.

Nice toy for the weekend I always wanted one but 2 seats aint enough with having kids. Bet it goes like stink! :D cool car

Cant wait. Anymore updates???????

Thanks for the tips guys sorry to take so long to reply Ive got a bad back and not been near my PC for a few days. I'll try the cellulose tip. Can you give me more details of how to do this would it be as simple as brush on then remove with cloth or better to wash off?

I had my front bumper and front nearside wing resprayed two weeks ago. Last night I waxed my car and noticed that parts of the roof and passenger door felt grainy so I removed the wax and felt the areas affected by hand and it felt rough to the touch. I'm thinking that its overspray of the clear laquor coat. What is the safest way to remove the overspray and get my paint back to its normal glassy like finish? Thanks Alan

Totaly agree with the above comments the car looks like it just came out of a paint shop. How did the car go down with the meet?

I cant look at it long enough to make my mind up its hedious.

Just shaking my head in pure disbelief at the work done and skills/knowledge shown. Good luck with the rebuild keep the posts coming

Driving like a nun with a very light right foot I acheived 37.3 mpg on my way to work this morning thats only a 7 mile run I'm well chuffed with that figure.

Cheers mrbiege for the advice. Title changed :D

Thanks for the help guys seems this ABS job aint as straight forward as I'd hoped :( I dont know of anyone in my area with a VAG COM Im in Widnes by the way just in case anyone can help I dont mind travelling too far and paying for time/expertise just so I can diagnose the fault first. :D
