Few Q's
« on: August 18, 2015, 07:55:41 pm »
1 -Right just machine polished my black golf with 3m pads and polish.
Now to seal it all up
In my current collection I have jetseal 109, r222 wax and just bought collinite 476 (I think that's what it's called)
What will protect my hard work best? Jetseal sealant then collinite? Or just later up with collinite and don't bother with a sealant? Iknow the r222 wax doesn't last long at all but looks great

2 - Also what do people use to clean the weird plastic in the mk5? The bit on the centre console around the stereo and heater controls?
Everything I've used seams to leave greasy marks behind it.

3 - does anyone have any experience polishing glass or cleaning it properly? My car looks perfect everywhere apart from the glass windows after my little detail :)

Couple of coats of collinite will give the best protection by far.

For cleaning plastics just use an interior quick detailer or mild APC type product. Sometimes if I'm cleaning the glass and I see a bit I normally CBA to get another product so I just wipe over with that. I'm suprised you're getting greasy marks with any product tbh, are you using a dressing type product? They will all leave marks on non porous plastics, I never dress interior plastics.

To clean glass properly just clay it and give a quick hand polish afterwards. If you're talking about actually removing marks (wiper scratches etc..) Then that's extemly hard work, it requires a rotary polisher, special pads (rayon discs on our website, elitecarcare that is) and a cerilium oxide polish like Carpro Ceri glass. To do it properly on a whole car will take many hours of hard work since the finish on glass is rock hard.
