Hello together, the black C3 of my better half should get some care… Condition so far (pictures follow): EZ 2004, sometimes laundromat including wax. Status “must drive the rest doesn’t matter”. Since it has to be changed sometime he should get care now. And I was allowed to volunteer. Desired condition: cared for, useful item, small budget, little time. Through the FAQ I have read myself now, as well by various posts. I would say n, in theory I have an overview. Now to the practice.. Present are currently various MFT, Sonax Shampoo, a manual foam bottle, washing glove, 1x Maguire Quick Wax. I can borrow an eccentric machine, to practice my 92 polo is also gladly available in black (which has it even more necessary). Asks itself now the question about the suitable pads, polish, finish. As said, like the base variant for cost minimisation. Maybe you can also scho without pictures. Thank you, Greeting Jupp.

A nice hello, I would be interested in your point of view and your opinions/experience on the following facts: Person A wants to wash his car at the car wash/ washer at the gas station. He drives to the yard of the gas station, the washing machine is free, he drives in, goes to the cash register and gets a ticket. Then he comes to his car and behind him stops a car whose driver B has filled and bought a ticket for the washing system when paying. The driver B is angry. ————— Other case: Driver A wants to wash his car at the car wash / car wash of the gas station. He drives to the yard of the gas station, the car wash is free, he does not drive in but waits at 5 meters distance in front of the car wash, goes to the cash register and gets a ticket. When he comes back, a car from driver B is already in the car wash, whose driver first goes to the cash register. n has to get a ticket. Driver A is upset. ——————- How do you behave at the washing machine? Any view can be the right one – right? Looking forward to your opinions on solving this luxury problem. Greetings, sony

Hello forum, I’ll pick up my new car in Wolfsburg next week, and had thought about polishing the thing with carnauba wax right on site (it’s done fast) before it’s dusty and the procedure becomes more complex. (Have a wax, which I used already on my old car, and I’m totally excited about its service life.) Now, however, I wonder if the paint is untreated at all at delivery, or if there are any residues of anything on it. Does anyone know about this? Thank you in advance and say hello to Chris

Hello, We have ordered a Beetle Cabrio for my wife, which she will drive year-round in the future. After driving my parents-in-law to the airport today and my car is now in a complete salt crust, I wondered in how far salt for cloth cover is a problem. Can you tell me how you deal with it? Greeting Ronny

Good morning, now I finally managed to refresh the paint with my small Power Packet 650Watt eccentric polishing machine. Basically, the result, for me as a layman, is also quite ok. My approach was quite simple: I carried out a polishing procedure with the Sonax Polish+Wax3 and then sealed with the BrillantWax1. As a polishing sponge I took the medium-strong (orange) from the globe construction market for Rotational machines are suitable but this does not result in a large heat development. I applied the wax with a soft/soft black polishing sponge. But from the degree of gloss I would wish for a bit more. I am therefore at the superior if, for example, Sonax Profiline EX 04-06 can get out more shine and then maybe a passage with the Sonax Profiline HP 01-06 or Profiline Final? I would like to stay with Sonax because the polishes are not I’m grateful for every opinion/idea Gruss Dr.Jargus

Hello, I have a bmw e60 limousine and have the following problem. If it rains again and again then the water on my paint does not completely drain away. There are lots of water pearls remaining on the whole car. I had once used a polish on it and sometimes in the washing box also a spraywax but the water residue would have to flow off the paint then or? You can now think the car has too many straight and angular surfaces so that water then nic It can flow off properly, but this is also the case on all sides, so not only on the roof and bonnet boot. Even if I drive with it remain up to a certain speed within the place the water remains available. Only in the garage or other covered areas the car starts to dry. Can someone help me? Zb neighboring cars are directly dry even without moving the vehicle. Would be very grateful about helpful experiences.

Hello MT, I have now bought the Sonax Protect & Shine and would like to expand my hand wash equipment to apply the sealing before the winter still cleanly and to make some extensions to the basic equipment. In spring the whole thing is to be extended by a hand polish. The shopping list looks like this so far: – Gyeon Iron, KC RRR or IronX from Carpro, depending on shop availability and price. – Q2M Waterspot – Petzoldts Control Cleaner or Q 2M Prep – at least 4 thin MFTs to remove the prep/controlcleaner like for example Lupus Basic MFT – KC Green Star for the rubber floor mats (here would certainly also the DashAway suffice?!) – Colorlock leather cleaning brush (for the rubber mats) – SONAX 340100 rubberPaper – Grit Guard Washboard – Sonax BSD (detailer) – KC FSE with lime ex (as alternative, maybe the two can be used later also in the household questions:1 Can I use the 3-pack Petzoldts microfibre polisher, Superfluff 3.1 ne Should the GSM fit, right?2 Will 3 pieces be enough to remove from the Sonax NPT?3 I can also take the 3 MFT in the future to remove the detailer after the laundry?4 Clean Knet lubricant set from Petzoldts – I will then use this in the spring before polishing, or does it make sense to do this before sealing? That’s already here.5 Is the order right? Snow Foam rim cleaner HDR Flugro st – HDR Q2M Waterspot – HDR Insect Removal – HDR 2 Bucket Laundry incl. Rim HDR Drying Prep Sealing Sonax P&S NPT Available are: SB Box with XXL foam, warm water for taping and hand washing permission Rim Cleaner Rim Brush EZ Detail Brush Mr Pink Shampoo 2 x 20L Bucket with Grit Guard and Lid 2 x Lupus Premium Glove for top 1 x Lupus Basic Glove for bottom 1 x Handpolierschwamm soft 3 x Lupus Applicator Pad Disc Cleaner by KC and Frosch 3 Waffle MFT Lupus 1 x Dash Away 3 x Lupus AllPurpose 40×40 1 x CW1:100 Insects Remover 3 x Lupus 380 60×40 MFT 3 x Lupus 530 60×40 MFT 3 x Petzoldts 3.1 MFT 1 x CleansingKnete Lubricant Set Petzoldts Do you have suggestions for improvements and answers to the 5 questions above?

Good evening to the municipality in the Ruhr area. As a friend of the car care not carried out itself, it is now time to visit a vehicle conditioner besides the more or less regular visits of the wash road, which can offer the whole program professionally as possible. By this I mean –> paint treatment, sealing, treatment of everyday scratchers and stone strokes, if necessary smart repair –> interior treatment inclusive leather care, especially treatment of Led It would be nice if you could give me your positive and also negative references / experiences so that my deep-sea blue will be treated well. The following areas are eligible: Essen, Bochum, Dortmund, Kreis Recklinghausen. Oh so, to the demarcation it should be clearly said that I am not just looking for addresses. Thank you in advance, here the recommended mention of the framework conditions: To the vehicle, it is an Audi A5 coupé in deep-sea blue metallic, built in mid 2008, “my r” since 08/2012. The car is used year-round about 15,000 km per year, working day on approx. 50 km highway. Accordingly the bonnet etc. looks like, washing system strips, front insects burned in, superficial “wipe” crackers on a fender, stone blows Washed every 3-6 weeks at Mr Wash, if necessary also the internal cleaning, last polish before handing over by the dealer, since I did not have anything more done. After processing I want to continue so v good shine with extremely long protection, scratches / stone strokes repaired and conserved, leather wears repaired.

Sali together, I’m a complete lender in things polish, so I wanted to ask here for information. I bought a bussle, 13 years old, which has a print/letter from the pre-work on it…… The previous owner then put this print away but only sporadically. My question, how do I get this polished properly? What are suitable products? Can I get this without a polishing machine? And what do I do with the one where the paint is already gone or one basically the white under even a simpler question: How can I get the whole artoff in the AuSen area again full black? Thank you for an answer Greetings Beni

Moin together! I want to replace my two cars with new lacquers shortly with an eccentric polishing machine (LE T2000) – is the first time, so far I have rather lain-like and polished with hand. It is often recommended Meguiars Ultimate Compound – is it also suitable for new varnishes or is it abrasive? Thank you very much in advance!
