VAG-hag 0 Posted May 3, 2013 haha Chris, I didn't mean it that way though :lol: I'm hoping to be in a position to afford a respray and get all the rust sorted reasonably soon and I want to find decent products and test them (and practice applying them) on the old paint first. I'll have to test C5 when I place my next order. (Name makes me shudder though - worst car I've ever driven!) Happily chat about it all at Nat Day, although I know that there are many more knowledgeable people on this forum!! that makes a lot of sense as there are soooo many products out there.... I bought a load of stuff when mine was in for paint. The best stuff Id reccomend is: Car Pro mit - £15 but awesome A huge bucket for soapy water - dont get from any car shop, mine is a plasterers bucket that cost £3 Regular bucket for rinsing ya mit Poorboys black hole glaze on yours will look LOVELY Foam lance - great for amusment value as well as being a good pre wash.......
