Hello, I have a plague, with me in the parking lot are trees that overshadow the place and I always 1 to max 2 days after the car wash the car is covered with bird droppings and the laundry was free. Is there a cheap, effective method to prevent the birds from drifting around there? Bird distributors at Ama are all rated as ineffective, since someone knows a good product?

Hello, so far I have washed my car in a washing box nearby. However, what not only makes little difference, but afterwards the car looks even more dirty. To my problem; I can not wash the car at home, because forbidden (protection area….) at the surrounding gas stations, you can not wash yourself, you can not get water…. Have already taken new rags, and manually after I foamed it, “wipe” and then sprayed with clear water. After that it was tro water generally not clean there??! Do you have any advice what I can do? lg

Hi, I need a few product recommendations. I want to prepare my car after it has been neglected for the last few years. The paint (18 years Opel carbon black 07L) has a slight grey veil that I want to get rid of, and what bothers me most, the horizontal surfaces, roof, bonnet, trunk lid, feel extremely rough. You can hear that even when you brush it with your hand. In the hood are also a few water stains. I have already used it before. t Nigrin tried paint cleaner, but it had almost zero effect, even after several polishings did not even go completely away the water stains. I tried to take photos, but on photos the grey veil always sinks in the reflections. At the neon tube you can guess something. The rough feeling can not really be packed into pictures. The many bright points are only dust from the previous polish passage, which was again with the naked eye not to be seen. I have a Rotating polishing machine with 180 plates. Can you recommend a suitable polish to me? I read again and again that it would be good to go over it with dough before. But does it make sense to buy extra dough, or can you get it in a passage with the right polish? (When I had the last time a car polished there was not yet such a thing as dough. ) It would be really helpful if you could recommend me concrete products. n tossed the head like: “The things of 3M/Meguiars/Petzoldt are good” Only unfortunately this info does not bring me much if these manufacturers have felt 50 different polishes in offer, which at least for lay understanding all carry the same product description. Thank you and greeting, Frack

Since in another topic (ceramic sealing up to 600€ ) it was about the quality, and this is difficult to understand, but there are nevertheless suppliers with quality products and quality work, which among other things give 3 years guarantee without conditions on a sealing, I would like to create a list here of all suppliers that offer such a quality work. (Maybe even with postal code) I hope this list becomes long!

Hello guys, my car had been extremely sensitive over the last two days. So I just flushed it spontaneously in the SB box, once with the high pressure wash and then with the top care. Unfortunately I had not considered our current minus degrees, the water is frozen quite quickly. Now the question was, was it a mistake to wash the car despite the minus degrees? Or does it not itch my car whether the water is frozen on it? I ask because I am thinking, d eat in the frozen water is still a salt part ddrin

Moin, my girlfriend bought a golf 7 and ran 45TKM, 3 or 4 years old at the friendly one. In the car the bonnet was repainted – due to stone strokes. Colour is pure white. The car was (of course) processed, so that the paint is quite “smooth”. In the coming days/weeks I wanted to polish the car and also waxes (by hand). I have already read the care FAQ in this respect. But I am not sure if I want to finish the repainting a Other products (sensitive) should be taken than for the rest of the paint. Does anyone have any experience here? I didn’t want to resort to high end products now, just look at Meguiars etc. Can anyone recommend a good polish or wax?

Hello guys, I leave now and then my old station wagon through the washing machine so that it is partly clean again. Now I noticed always when I drive through the washing machine and it rains in the next few days then the water is wonderful from the windshield. In light rain I do not have to turn on the windscreen wipers at all and in the early morning is almost no dew water on the disk. This effect unfortunately only lasts a few days and then the thing is again wi e earlier. Have I looked around what there is on the market in this regard. Result: There is enough medium for this but which one is really good also from the price / performance ratio? Maybe someone already has experiences in this field and can write them in here… greet The Jag

Hello everyone, I’m a freshman and I’ll get my new BMW 5 in SophistoBrilliant effect painting in the next few weeks. When the car comes from Munich, what do I take as a seal? I confess for reasons of time I will drive through Mr. Wash about every 3 weeks, in between hand wash. I don’t want to deal with the paint every three weeks, but I want it to be protected for as long as possible and shine nice. I know the cracks among you now I thought about a good sealing, investing time, then a good detailer that fits in between. Is there something like that? I’ve read here for several days, now I don’t know anything anymore. VG Thomas

Day, my car has 30,000km down and is dark grey metallic. Now in the nice weather I see many small micro scrapers in the paint after washing, just like you can imagine after 30,000km just on the entire paint. I bought Meguiars ’16 now and now wonder if I can get a good shine with it alone, so that you can no longer see the micro scrapers. I do everything by hand, so I ask myself whether the polish is really worth it.

Hey, I’m going crazy because now within a year, by now, I would have to notice the third time a nasty surprise to my beloved paint. Smaller scratches formations on three different body parts, the first thought I had was that my Fix40 wash glove was not 100% free of stones etc., but I don’t think anything. Really polish away the scratches didn’t let themselves either. lg
