  • Deep Black Pearlffect Easy to Prepare and Protect

    Hi all! bought me a Scirocco in Deep Black Pearlffect. Vehicle is 1/2 year old. The paint so far in a good condition. Minimal scratches due to washing system. Otherwise everything is great… Would like now, when the weather gets better again the car prepare and protect. I have now considered the following steps to proceed: 1) Washing (highback –> foam washing –> washing off) 2) Remove with cleaning clay deposits 3) Meguiars CleanerWax to remove the minimal scratches 4) Sonax Premium Class Carnaubawax (lacquer seal) Are the steps recommended? I already have the material… Thank you! Greetings Patrick

  • First experience with Autobrite Snow Foam Citrus

    Hello, I bought myself extra for my new gloria foam master fm10 A bottle autobrite snow foam citrus. My first attempt I made with a shot chemical guys bug and bugger shampoo, the foam was impeccable. The result with autobrite was sobering. You have to give relatively much to make the foam ok. That’s anything but effective and economical. I would advise against it! I prefer to use a shampoo from Chemical Guys, which is more economical and the foam is good. Gru ss e.

  • Lack damaged when changing tyres.

    HI! I changed my tires yesterday and didn’t pay attention when lifting the car with the jack. Now I ran away the paint at the bottom left side. After that I smeared the spot with clear varnish. My question: Do I have to be afraid now that it starts to rust. Why is the paint down there a bit rougher than the other one from the car? Can one have such a small spot repaired with Smart Repair? Photos are included.

  • Wheel cap question

    Today, our Twingo (or that of my sister) fell victim to my holiday boredom. After washing and polishing, I have dressed myself to the rims. I also got rid of the grossest dirt well (with bath cleaner and tea rent remover) but not everything. Does someone know a cheap means with which to get that away? Also like some home remedies. I put a picture on it so that you can see what it is about. I hope you can recognize it.

  • Which washing brush recommended for pre-wash? Micro scraper..

    Hello Through the 2 eimer washing method with washing glove, one actually strips the dirt particles nevertheless on the varnish, one would have to wash the glove already after only a few centimeters again. Wouldn’t it be more useful before after the jets rough with a washing brush with water inflow to wash the car off? after all the flowing water from the brush rinses out the coarse edge of the brush again better or? is actually also the principle of the self washing systems. gardenawasc hbrush I have already been good but nothing the bristles are far too hard, have already several microkartzers knows someone often a better product and has experience with it? Or would you generally rather advise against the brushes? mfg the inexperienced car washer

  • paint yourself…what to buy

    Hi! I want to start doing something at our Corsa bit, because the little one is getting pretty slow in the years and also the previous owner didn’t really care about the paint. I have some relatively easy-to-reach rust spots at the usual places (door lower edge, bonnet edge…) As equipment I already have my old-served dremel with wire attachment, think with it I get some rust down, for Gröberes I have a wire disc attachment for the drilling machine. I also have rust converter in stock with brush. 😉 Now the question: Which online dealer can you recommend? I would like to get a whole “starter package”, i.e. paint in spray can (color code), in addition clear varnish in spray form. Then a good primer, wet sanding paper. Does anyone still have tips for me? Do I need primer/filler? Did I recently take a tube universal kfz spatch from Nigril nit, your opinion about it? Do I need spatula to sand off at rusting or If you know a good shop with good prices or can just call good manufacturers for the stuff, I would like to thank you in advance. thank you and lg

  • Audi A5 Ibisweiß, experiences, recommendations

    Hello Community, In a few weeks my A5 will be delivered and I am already thinking about various things like: car care and preservation. I would like to address with this Fred specifically A5 Ibisweiß owner or Unilack owner. How do you maintain your varnish? What are your experiences with various products? I have already read various topics here in the forum, however, I stand before a crossroads. On the one hand I tend to Meguiars NXT Car Wash with subsequent preservation by wax of the gl A few manufacturers, and on the other hand to Liquid Glass Shampoo and subsequent sealing with LG. Are well known 2 pairs of boots LG sounds just great because – as much as I have read – the paint is completely sealed and any dirt or weather conditions do not occur directly on the paint but on this “sealing layer”. I am much on the road and therefore expose my car (especially in summer) to strong, direct sun rays. In winter, however, I have a large amount of According to LG, it is even perfect if you leave it standing in the sun because the sun “cures” the seal and it can withstand temperatures up to -60°C. I attach great importance to protecting the car and the paint as well as possible so that it is not “bleached” and / or scratched/ dirty, but it does not matter how much money and time it takes for care. Until now LG has the nose in front because it reads as if it were precisely tailored for my needs. thank you already !

  • Well, it’s a real hit, but…

    So people have had the faxes thick, always there is something around or there is something on the shelf. One wants to do just 5 minutes and looks up the stuff for it before 20 minutes. From the last income tax refund I bought me a tool car with ordering system, is that in the area quiet…… This time a PFA car was on incl. equipment (see system). Comes next Friday, I’m already horny on it. Trainings around the stuff also apply I have already had to participate a lot. Now it’s time to get ready…. 😉 Prices are “BRUTTO” don’t let yourself be scared, I got an ordinary discount…….. The exenter would have to come today, I have to touch on a rotation machine first, when you see this on training, it is only quite simple, but…

  • Lacquer freshly polished and waxed – How to maintain?

    Hello friends of the car I will make my Audi with the beautiful color “cherry black pearl effect” next week to my paintr, which then polish it up and seal it with a 3M wax (more precisely I don’t know). I want to get the paint as good as possible after this preparation then hopefully in this then good condition. Can I continue to use my existing A1 Wash&Wax for washing? So far I have always been a friend of the Kärcher. ispiel my insects with a distance of 20cm away, which is not really good for the paint. I don’t want to do that in the future. Which products (washing glove, kneading, …) you can still recommend to me. I don’t want to invest a lot of money in care products. So should be as cheap as possible. Look forward to the answers Add another picture of my car. LG Vari
