  • Hitlist of the “Rostlauben”

    Dear community, because with an acquaintance the purchase of an “old used” was necessary, he caressed with an old mustard (Mercedes) and abhorred Italians because of “rust”, I once enjoyed it. I searched for the word “rust” in all forums and converted the result to the number of posts as a percentage. 1. Image: A-Z sorted 2. Image: % sorted I am amazed at the result (pictures in the appendix of this post) PS: Please spare me lessons! The figures have nevertheless been created to the best of my knowledge and knowledge. That this survey is very relative and that you can let out the numbers with less than 10 (or x) hits, etc. is clear to me. Nevertheless, I am surprised that the result comes quite close to my personal experience. I really feel like repeating the procedure with the keyword “gear damage” or “motor damage”. I am curious about your reactions.

  • Vehicle maintenance – Shopping list

    Hello, dear motor-talkers! I have read through the FAQ and have decided to stick to the means recommended by the community. Today I have a few general car accessories shops as well as gas stations and I quickly found that this is not going to happen. What is offered there really made my hair stand on the mountain. Either I found the cheapest no-name utensils with which to do more damage to his paint than can be maintained, or r at least the well-known SONAX-pallet. But that was it as well. I soon realized that I would not find it there and decided to order my care utensils on the internet, because I can refer to the entire assortment there. Funny enough, I found then even a shop, which leads many of you recommended mediums and utensils and can also be found just a few kilometers away from me. So we start:Lack: Perlweiss MetallicProcedure: 1. Remove the coarsest dirt with the high-pressure cleaner 2. Hand wash with wash glove, shampoo and “2 bucket method” 3. Rinse residues with high-pressure cleaner 4. Wipe dry with dry microfibre cloth 5. Apply wax with applicator pad and massage 6. Remove residues with special microfibre clothShopping list: Which of these products would you most recommend to me for my paint? …Okay, first I had vers ucht to list a few products, among which you can recommend the best to me. Due to my still missing experience however, it was then that again so many products, that it would make no sense again. Therefore I try it differently. Said shop is this here:http://iclean.at/ Could you give me based on their assortment suggestions, which products I could put here best on my shopping list below? If I have forgotten anything else below, would you like to list a few products? wash –> shampoo –> wash glove –> dry microfibre cloth wax –> wax –> applicator pad –> special microfibre cloth for wiping to the end/for intervening –> detailer of your Kruegerl infected by the care virus

  • Would you like to take care of my car right now?

    Hello together I call myself car care beginner 🙂 I have a black Ford Fiesta that has never been in the car wash road and also does not come 🙂 I have always only washed my car with Autoshampo with hand about every half year or if it was really dirty. After that I have leathered it and about 1 times a year polish of I think Sonax with such a comic nano sealing used but also quickly down. The result was a ch after the polish also not really nice when I think about the many work oh my God :-). I would like to change that now and hope you can help me. Think with the car wash you can not do much wrong now for washing will take a microfiber sponge and for drying also a microfiber cloth. Now how do I go on before what can you recommend to me? Have now read a little and if I have understood this I need at the n The next thing I would like to do is treat it with wax or with sealing only what is the difference? Would a nano-sealing of what you hear from time to time be better than wax or better good wax? Can you take the procedure for me, as you think it is right and also recommend what you would use to explain that would be really great of you and I would be It should not cost a fortune now but would also spend a little more money for good products and also a good result for my baby as long as the result is true 🙂 How many times would I have to repeat that? Before that many thanks for your answers MFG Marc

  • Paint preparation for beginners

    hello, I’m about to polish my golf or bring the paint back to the front.I’ve read through many threads here and I’m always on “3m” products.But don’t really see what it has to do with all the different products. Here was the talk of grinding polish This will probably be to remove the upper layer of the paint and will also think of all this small micro scratcher (washing system scratcher), clouds and hologram e remove. then a high-gloss polish, which, as I think, will bring the paint back to the fullest gloss. and still the pink wax as conservation or protection of the “freshly polished paint”. sounds first obvious. now there are for these different polishes also different cloths, attachments (swamms) for machines. at ebay I have now found a polishing machine including 3m products.Poliermaschine question 1: what do you think about it? price,performance, accessories have my car also already sometimes polished with a “15euro polishing machine” from the construction market. but it does not bring such a nice result as it should be professional. now to my paint. unfortunately, I have not managed to take pictures anymore, since the sun has changed. and in the sun you can see very good fine scratchers and these holograms. will I catch up tomorrow. many small very fine scratcher,contaminations. ask 2: would you recommend this polishing set for a beginner? have auc h already read that you can quickly screw up the paint! so question 3: how do you proceed with these pads and the corresponding polishes etc? speeds ? all polishing with machine and with which has and microfibre cloth down polish? a small professional instruction would not be bad. should you advise me not to worry, have a few smaller sheet parts (kotis, doors, hood) still to lie so that I can “do something”. still have a picture of my la ck attached. thank you now already for your hopefully coming answers. and please don’t say “let it be better to bring it to a paintmaker” no that I don’t think the sense of the thing, because with 20 years one is still able to learn

  • What mild polish for 1 year old black varnishes ??

    Hello together, I have to open up a new topic again, even if I have already had comprehensive advice here (also here a thank you for this!). I used the search function of course, but somehow it always doesn’t fit 100%, therefore here prefer to ask again. I hope, you understand and forgive me, is Easter So the following: I have recently my dream car, a year old E-Class T-model in columbit black metallic. old Skoda Roomster of my wife in black magic pearl effect are also treated. Actually I did not want to use polish ( ) but after a hand wash in dream weather today I look at some micro scratchers ( ), which tell me, If so, then right. I do not want polish without abrasives, but also no aggressive polish with many abrasives. I hope I express myself correctly, and you understand me The varnishes are anything but bad or weathered, abe r I think one should be. Oh yes, and a hand polish, not a machine. The “flegging ritual” looks like this: My goodness, what a list so, and what can you recommend to me as a mild polish? Do I use the search function, often the name falls. Is this a “mild” polish? For “lightly weathered varnishes” varnishes it is said in the description. Or is there a better alternative especially for black varnishes? And holograms I want to avoid, of course, if that is also possible from the polish itself and not only depends on the correct application. Do I drive with 3M good or how are your tips? In advance thank you for your help !! Greetings DiSchu

  • Scratches in the windshield and a lot of bird shooting.

    MoinMoin, when I wanted to leave this morning with the car and the sun was already shining in the morning, two or three massive scratches fell out of me in the winshield, directly on the driver side which are really irritating and unsightly during sun exposure! Since I have a large tree above my parking lot, I am already used to the whole bird species.., meanwhile it is certainly 20 “Haufen”, which stick over the car scattered on the paint and even on the headlights. If I have ever If the car really wash, does it look the same again after two days thanks to the nice birds and pollen! -.- Are there small means for in between, with which I can remove the bird’s shei.. paint-friendly? And how does it look with the nasty scratches in the windshield? Can I have them removed somehow (for not too much money) or does it have to be a new disc? Apparently there is a branch on it or a cat has forgotten again on the car Gt.– LG

  • How to remove building foam from car paint?

    Hello care professional, a nice contemporary has recently foamed the door gap of the driver’s door at my wife’s car at night with building foam. The stuff sticks like devils, and we unfortunately have no comprehensive. Doors are piled up from the inside, and the greatest PRESENT mechanically removed with cutter and plastic spatula. Now is still a stubborn thin layer on the paint and keeps bomby. How can I get the stuff from the paint ??? Any ingenious ideas? According to a building foam manufacturer it can only mech Which abrasive polishes can do this? Perhaps Scratch X helps? Can you use 2500 sandpaper or do I screw up the paint? The whole thing is in the door fold and on the door side, so no smooth surfaces to work on. What a lucky thing that I didn’t catch the joker in a fresh act, because I can easily get tempted to become punishable. Greetings
