Jamie 1 Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks for the feedback glad I've ordered it.... Was it easy to apply It was done by the previous owner Chuggs but I have used it on something else myself and in a word - no! Preparation is everything - everything has to be absolutely spotlessly clean before you start to do anything with no trace of previous products. I used surgical spirit to clean and it seemed to do the trick but it did take a while til the cloth was coming away clean. I may have gone a bit over the top but it's not cheap stuff and I wanted to make sure it was perfect. The term less is more has never been more appropriate here. Oh and the microfibre you use to but the excess off - bin it! It will be full of tiny quartz crystals which will ruin your paint if you use it. Keep hold of one of the make up wipes and you'll see what I mean :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delfinis38 1 Posted August 2, 2015 Ok today I have tried some of the GTechniq C4 on my roof trims will see how the Go over next few months here are some before and after as of today Will be good to see how they come out... Looks like someone has already cut your inner lip off with a Stanley knife, mines just starting to crack and fail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted August 2, 2015 Did not even know that as never looked at another that closely thanks for the spot.... May have to be another in on the group buy as and when it happens.... Are they easy to change. Hopefully these will stay dark now though.... Product says permanent renovation... So expecting a couple of years of dark!!

delfinis38 1 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Chuggs if you look in this clip of Karmnnski development so far... It's the flappy bit of the right that fails... Which yours is now missing... Don't worry 90 percent of corrado are like this now mines just started to fall apart. Yes easy to change remove from the rear and pull up, guess your spend more time polishing than fitting new.

Chuggs1 10 Posted August 2, 2015 Hey thanks for that.... Sunday education! Watched that and the second video.... Don't want to be one of the 90% lol.... Another thing to add to the growing list of non essential but nice to haves! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted August 2, 2015 Guess you saw the offending item better in the second vid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted August 2, 2015 Yes absolutely... So I guess it stops gunk getting in the channel. Hopefully not too much of a problem as mine is garaged. Thanks again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delfinis38 1 Posted August 2, 2015 Chuggs this is why people take a Stanley knife to it. I must clean the polish off the sunroof seal :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted August 2, 2015 Ah right..... Does look better trimmed I suppose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted August 2, 2015 Must admit I had noticed the edge was ever so slightly rough and wondered why..... Now I'm enlightened... Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted August 2, 2015 Must admit I had noticed the edge was ever so slightly rough and wondered why..... Now I'm enlightened... Cheers mines just only happened like this in the last month... this hot weather made the inner edge go very sticky... and every time I take the car cover off now a bit falls off...

Chuggs1 10 Posted August 2, 2015 Suppose on a positive note. Twenty years life span was a pretty good innings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robrado974 1 Posted August 2, 2015 It will be interesting to see how the Technic holds up . I bought new trims and end caps around three years ago , they have faded a little . It would be nice to use a product you know ,that is not going to produce black marks running down the bodywork , on the first wash or when it rains .

Chuggs1 10 Posted August 2, 2015 It's a tiny bottle but you use such a tiny amount it spreads really well and is a clear liquid.... Will do further photos over time and keep you all informed. First impressions are positive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted August 2, 2015 Nice one Chuggs .I use the interior Technic and think it's a good product . Let's hope it fairs well in the heat too . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted August 2, 2015 Its not permanent as it says, but will last a good 18 months - 2 years though before you'll need to re-apply it. Its good stuff but won't give quite the deep black you get from new plastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I've just checked my box of polishes n stuff , it's poorboys I use on the interior not Technic . That's a fair amount of time to last for exterior use Sean , pretty good going really . Edited August 2, 2015 by robrado974 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted August 2, 2015 18 months will be good... May not be black but it's so much better than the before photo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted August 2, 2015 Its good stuff Chuggs. Definitely brings it back to life, and although doesn't look quite like new, it certainly makes a good deal of difference. I've used C4 before, and I've currently got Carpro Dlux which is on at the moment. Exactly the same thing and fingers crossed will last just as long.
