Hello everybody, I’m completely new here. I’m currently driving an EOS and from February I’m going to have a Guiletta. I still don’t know if I should be happy or rather cry – but it’s the way it is. I have the claim of a certain recognisable road traffic (about 180 km on the same route). Since Alpha only offers corrosive colors I wanted to have my new Guilette foiled. Would you like to know what this fun costs and if someone was completely dissatisfied with it. There are happy customers on the net enough. Maybe someone has an interesting colour idea. On the occasion it would be nice if someone expressed their satisfaction with this car.

Remove dust between washing and waxing
Hello together, Maybe someone can help me with my question When I wash my car at BestClean for example (does not give a good SB washbox near me where I can use buckets) and then drive home to grow it, some dust has accumulated on the paint and possibly flower dust. How do I prepare the car here ideally for the grow then? I myself have the 3 products here R222 Paintwork Cleanser Chemical Guys White Light R222 100% carnuba p Aste wax In the order I would do that…how do I get the dust down before? With a detailer? Or just start with the paintwork cleaner? Or wriggle with a dry cloth?

Collinite 476 and catastrophic service life
Huhu I’ve been on the Collinite 476 since spring due to many positive reports and I have to say I’m more than disappointed with the service life. I washed, kneaded and degreased at the end of March 2 Fzg (white (MB) and magmarot (Mazda) and treated Kplt with Collinite 476. The result was quite appealing; today for a month time really rain and I see with both Fzg. the roof is a single closed water surface. Wide run as if never wax or similar It was applied. Go bonnet and rest – but on the roof a single disaster. Both Fzg were not washed in between or driven through a washing machine. My cheap SONAX-Hartwax still let the water be pearled after 5 months of winter – sorry but I am just cardboard-sat. I still have one thought – can it be that the Collinite-Zeugs is dissolved by pollen etc? Because I had plenty on the car. Does someone have similar experience with less Stand by the Collinite? Thank you

New car maintenance
Yesterday I received my Golf 7 R-line IQ Drive in the colour “Indium Grey”. The vehicle is 8 months old and flashes and sparkles accordingly thanks to a preparation by the car dealership. I would like to keep the car in this condition and therefore ask for tips and products that continue to maintain the paint. A nice start to the weekend!

Polish/prepar plastic window frames
Hello, this is a car forum, but the procedure is analogous. We got new plastic windows at home, while the exporting company partly got this foam on the plastic window. The foam is gone, but now the plastic surface is attacked. Partial scratches, partly matt. I load up some photos, but I don’t know if you can see it well. Since the company has botched, I have kept money and try to find out how I can I don’t really care about the scratches, but the surface should always be shiny and beautiful again. Do you have a tip on how to get this done? Maybe with a plastic polish? Or headlight polish? If so which etc.? Or do you think a car conditioner can do that. I would have polishing attachments for a cordless screwdriver, but would like to know your opinion, since here are the processing professionals. Thank you

Use eccentric polishing machine with old Nigrin polish?
Hello together, I intend to drive my car (Hyundai Ioniq HEV) as long as possible, so I want the car to always look as good as new. I possibly intend to buy an eccentric polishing machine from KUNZER 7PME15 . But now my questions: What do you think is better? 1. The processing by hand with polish (then grow / seal by hand if necessary) 2. The processing with the above mentioned eccentric machine with polish (then grow / 3. Can I still use my old Nigrin polish as a polish? (this is certainly 15 years old). I once pictured this in an example photo. Normally polish does not age, but are these also suitable for machine use with the Eccentric Polishing Machine? P.S. I once had the Fiat 500 C professionally prepared. The result with the preparation was already great. But : The preparation also has including interior care, so complete This is why I protect my car as often as possible with this Kayme tarpaulin/car garage, because the car is more outside. Thank you for your opinions on the subject of manual/machine/with old polish possible? Best regards

A solution instead of a question : easily remove polish residue from plastic !
Hello people ! Everyone knows the problem : Once you don’t pay attention to what you forget to stick off or maybe the tape has solved itself … already is a decorative strip or whatever is nicely sucked in with stubborn polish that is in the recesses of the grained plastic If you googelt around you find thousands of solutions, mostly on a chemical basis. Almost all have what in common : The polish comes sooner or later nevertheless again to the appearance happens today but in the Ne tz on THE tip that really works !! You just take a fingernail brush like everyone has lying around in the bathroom….bite toothpaste on it and water – and you can save yourself the plastic parts quite easily at which already many chemical clubs have miserable failed ! Simple, almost free and for everyone doable which can brush itself in the morning actually is so banal that you might ask yourself why you can not get there long ago is, isn’t it? Sorry if one or the other was so smart before me – but in the forum I didn’t find anything to do with it.

DIY wax/sealing with best service life for many motorway kilometres
Hey! I’m pretty familiar with the usual paint care or treatment program and used to use Collinite 476 in the past. After I currently cycle down many kilometers, mainly on the highway I would like to have something with more service life. Optimal would be a means that can also run off wash roads. After I have neglected my 3 year old Super-B for the last 6 months, I would like to go through the full program again. Large garage is available n. Can anyone approve my program again and recommend me a seal that corresponds to my driving/use profile? Wash thoroughly Kneading paint cleaning with machine polish (1-2 steps) Sealing (only which ones?) As I said, after I do many kilometers and not have all the time in the world, the later use should also be as straightforward as possible, as possible suitable for washing roads without having to move back with details in every small spot….
