Moin people! I recently sealed my car. But I noticed 2 days later, at the first laundry that the Beading is not as great as in many other areas of the car. I probably did not apply the sealing carefully enough at these places. The water runs off super, only not as fast and beautiful as at other places. Therefore my question, what to do if I want to seal over it again ? Must I degrease before with a mixture of IPA, or dimply it polish, or simply on it with the seal (vehicle is clean of course ^^ ).

Hello. I want to polish and grow my car. Ask a few questions. I have the Sonax Xtreme Polish + Wax 2. Can I use the Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax after treatment with the Sonax or not? After polishing and growing, what shampoo and SnowFoam can I use so that the Wax is not “attached”? Thank you for your support.

Hello together, after having seen and read several tests, I have now decided for microfiber dryers. The choice has fallen on the Silverback of Liquid Elements. In addition to two different sizes (XL I want to use for the paint, the small version for the rims) there are now also two versions. Once the normal version with 1200GSM for 14.90 Euro for the XL version and once as light version with 1000GSM currently for 5.94 Euro for the XL version. Who knows the Un and what would you advise me to do?

Hello together, I wanted to ask the pros I polished my car and am satisfied with the result, thanks to you!!! However, I don’t get a spot really polished. The photos (before/after) seem violent and it’s not that bad! Does anyone have advice on how to get the Swirls away? Greeting Christian

Moin, after my car wash in the evening, I noticed that my headlights are full of tiny stone hits. They are also only minimally visible on the surface and when the headlights are switched off. I tried to wipe them away anyway, in the hope that it is only dirt, but unfortunately did not succeed. My car was running 12 tkm and not very old. If that is not normal I would be a little surprised. What I put on my windshield wipers is the Sonax Xtreme brilliant shine more detailed. But it would hardly do that, wouldn’t it? In the pictures it looks a little more extreme than it really seems, but hopefully you see what I mean.

I don’t need to tell anyone here what a vehicle can look like, which had parked under a tree and over which birds “empty” themselves. However, the sprays offered in the trade for the elimination of bird droppings have not become environmentally friendly and also quite expensive. If therefore someone can call a proven home remedy, please report. Thank you.

Hello, A Golf Plus has been parked under Carport for years with ivy hedge and lateral visual protection by ivy hedge. How do I get the coating off the paint, which was created by pollen dust. Gestures cleaned in the cleanpark and the dirt does not go away. Looks like a lime layer? Car stood there unused for half a year. Even on the side windows and goes only way scratching with fingernail Does a lime cleaner which is briefly applied and rinsed?

Hello, I drive a C240 in black metallic! I had stains on the paint in the form of small dark knobs, maybe it was bat out. I got this knob away by polishing these places with paint cleaners. Now I have the problem that at these places the paint has become lighter, so it is noticeable! Then I polished the whole car with paint cleaner and sealed it, but the bright spots have remained! Also Colorwachs has nothing Does anyone have an idea what else I can try? Greetings Dieter

Hello together, winter is once again at the door and I am currently wondering how I can optimally prepare my seat for the winter (beyond tyre changes and wiping water with frost protection). Here are a few details: – Manufacturer ? Seat – Type ? Leon 5F – Color Midnight Black / Mythschwarz – Metallic (j/n) ? yes – Age ? approx. 4 years – Care history in a few words, like e.g. „Until now approx. every 3 weeks washing system, 1x a year hand polish and wax 1-2 times a month, hand wash. I haven’t used polish / wax so far. In winter hardly any care or only hand wash when it’s a little warmer outside. I never use the washing machine. – Description Condition, like e.g. “Many washing system strips, in front insects burned in, about 3cm long scratches in bonnet, wheel runs made of plastic bitten in sunlight distinct holograms or fine and partly also some bits of scratches everywhere on the varnish. 2-3 slightly deeper Kr atzer in the glass on the windscreen. Various insect residues in the front. Some stone blows on the bonnet, however, all worked with paint pen. On the underfloor a bit of rust has formed in some places. – If necessary targeted photo(s) of defect(s) that I am supposed to be removed Unfortunately, I do not have at the moment and the car is currently too dirty to detect the damage clearly. However, on request, it is possible to submit photos. – Budget: What do you want maximum for the coming A – Does a professional paint preparation (approx. 300-500EUR) come into question? Yes – Does the purchase of a polishing machine (plug socket!) with corresponding professional means in question (several hundred EUR, but lasts several years if necessary) ? No – Do you regularly drive through a washing system and have this further on, o Is this a question of hand wash ? No – Where do you come from ? (approximate region is enough!) Märkischer Kreis In general, my plan so far was to have the car prepared and sealed properly. Does that make sense just before the winter, or should I rather wait until the spring with it? What about, for example, an underbody seal or the like, so that no more rust forms? Unfortunately, I can hardly assess what is really useful now, what might be useful? I just want to keep the car as good as possible and avoid that rust is formed at a young age and that environmental influences are added to the paint or other parts of the vehicle. Thank you very much in advance!

Hello, who knows a good textile wash road in the Nuremberg area? On the black varnish you can always see slight traces at the brush wash roads. With my TT I have no desire for it. Only where can I find a good wash road? Hope you can help me. Thank you Marc-Michl
