I can use the hosepipe again to wash my car!!! Happy days

Also, pinky may be able to answer this, what's the best thing to clean the plastic on the bottoms of my doors? I have used all kinds of shizzel but none of its any good. Is that wolf stuff any good??

Only used my hose pipe twice since you lot were banned, but makes me feel happier knowing i can use it with out feeling guilty

cleaning the plastic, is it dirt or overwiped polish or tar etc etc

or are you meaning a clean finish and last stage product to keep it looking sweet?

All of the above

bearing in mind my trim is painted, on my old car i used

Meguiers All Purpose Cleaner to clean the dirt, with a soft nail type brush
A pencil Eraser to rub of polish marks that remained
Autosmart Tardis for Tar

Washed down and dried, i would then look towards G-Techniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer if i was wanting a long lasting finish (or wolf chemicals Trim Restorer) but of these would need a IPA wipe down of the trim to make sure its really clean and grease free

So you know, C4 is the same product as C5 (Wheels) C1+ Paint coating (excellent product on wheels, not used it on paint or trim)

Or what i use on my current car GTechniq C1.5 Silo Seal, this can be used on all exterior surfaces (not windscreen) and i find it gives a nice finish on the D pillars, not splashed as much as the lower sills though

these people with their grey RRS that don't work

its cream, clean and cream though

The G-Techniq C4 looks expensive for what it is. Do you know what chemical it is?

I have gallons of neat IPA Which is handy for cleaning.

IPA - Indian Pale Ale

not sure what the C4 is made up of, to be honest i doubt they would publish their formula either

I believe they are a quartz based lacquer, but as i said the C1 was professional only due to the damage it could cause if incorrectly applied as it crystallized to a hard scratch resistant surface, but they rebottle it as C4 trim and the C5 for wheel, which i have used and its still beading and protecting the wifes wheels 9 months on

I need to get some more IPA, got any going spare from your gallons

They do have to do a safety data chemical sheet whitch gives you a ruff idea of whats in there. The Wolf`s dressing is mainly Naphtha (petroleum)

I do have spare, in 2.5 litre containers. Down south in Cheltenham tho

might be a bit far to collect, unless one of the members wants to courier it up, i assume postage will be quite expensive?

Not sure on the chemical sheets for the C4, might be something on their website?
