Whats best for restoring a highly oxodized red Golf....

I find autoglym bumper care is fantastic for black trim, esp if you have got white polish marks on them. I only stared using it a while back but wonder why I never used it years ago, I've tried the heat trick before but it didn't really work out for me.

He got a bit slap happy with the polish.... Did warn him....

Gotta learn by his mistakes....

We just used Back to Black... I did try the bumper care stuff years ago and didn't thaink that much of it... Guess they may have improved it now...

Thanks for the tip!!!

a good paste wax is worth the investment. i use poorboys natty's. seems pretty good.

good old tcut will do what you want and as stated before even just super resin will sort it with some elbow. my mate had a red escort rs turbo that was pink. his cloth had turned red after so long using it. car was mint.

i had a dulling and overspray in yellow on my green car. i used

washed with megs gold wask
cleaned down with tardis
red megs clay
mez po85e or something
nattys wax

cost bout 80 quid for all the materials but they will last for 12 months id say. so just over a quid a week. much easier having the right stuff. it would have been popeye aqrm otherwise.

im no expert on these things at all. i read a few posts on the forum. tried to gauge the job against others similar to get the right products and bobs yer mams bro.

try old engine oil on the bumpers. works a treat. so does red clay for that matter to remove the crud/polish

Becareful with old engine oil! It is carcinogenic and can cause Cancer! I would not touch the stuff if I didn't have to...

Bin it!

Its all about the swirls
Only the Polish do it so well... takes years of training to ruin your paintwork that well

thats fair. wasn't really aware of it.

it does work though.

i smoke, used to fish bronze maggot with chrysoidine on the rivers etc

things like brake cleaner have the same cancerous properties i believe.

its old diesel oil and gloves but i agree enhancing the chances is not a great idea at all
