Hello Care Professionals, at the end of January my new Octavia comes with black pearl-effect varnish. Since it is my first new car, I wonder, what do you do with the varnish, so that it is well protected from the beginning. I have read somewhere that you have to let the new varnish rest for 6-8 weeks. Is that true? From my layman’s point of view, I would grow it smoothly to have peace of mind. But is that right? Thank you very much in advance.

Tachchen, I had completely polished my car about 3-4 weeks ago.Sequence: 1. wash 2. knead 3. wash 4. bad places with sanding polish 3M green 5. polish with 3M antihologram polish 6. grow in, first with A1 Speed Polish. Afterwards I had everywhere in the paint, which did not go away. I guess it was residue from the polish that were now sealed. ;-( So again step 4 to bring the wax down again and then again step 5. Then I applied Sonax Wax. The result was perfect. Absolutely no holograms and very nice shine. Fly residue can be washed off simply with the high pressure jet. BUT Bin On Friday by car 5h in the bright sun drove to Austria. When we arrived there the paint was suddenly totally milky in some places and you see where I am along with the polishing machine (excenter). How can that be? The car looked great 3-4 weeks and now that? I need to get help, don’t trust me on the street as he looks now.

Moin I want to protect my car from rust. It starts all over flight rust. So far I have used sonax flight rust remover but everything does not go away. Manufacturer ? – Type ?

2017-11-17 around 17:30 clock (unfortunately it was already dark): Around 17:30 clock in the Brüningstraße advanced with my really heavily polluted Astra. Wash program no. 4, was chosen, paid, no receipt received. Car was washed, the pre-cleaner even came out and dried the rear. (The tip for him was probably the best used money that evening …)2017-11-18 around 08:00 clock: Shock-heavy! Front-end, bonnet, roof and rear spoiler heavily scratched! I there a The operator only said very lapidar: “This is not from our plant, no idea where you got it.” A solution was not offered, after all, you don’t know where I was in the meantime. Everything else I don’t know here – everyone may get their own picture.

Now I am one of the people who occasionally drive through the wash road. No matter where I have to wash, there are still mosquitoes on the hood, on the windshield you can still see the wiping field of the windshield wiper. That annoys me, because the car wash often costs 10 €. Strangely, this is not so with the wash road from the globe. No mosquitoes and the windshield absolutely clean! Maybe this is connected with the fact that at globe is a wash road, in which the car durc Everything else is now washrooms, in which the car stands and the brushes/textile strips drive in front and back.

It starts again……. My white 1er is an insect magnet! What can I do to prevent the legacy from sticking to it? Grows (have 3M) remedy, or should one rather resort to a ceramic seal, or are there other possibilities? Thank you in advance Greeting Dirk

Hello, I was in Hamburg today at Carfit to get me an offer for a paint treatment and a padding cleaning. Does anyone have experience with the provider? How does your price/performance of the offer I created? Vehicle is a VW Passat B7 Bj12 black metallic. Lack has not been prepared in the last 2 years, but looks ok from my lay point of view.

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
