Lets hope this works.  :laugh:

Really easy to apply, but its quite hard to see where its been applied. Ive got about 3/5ths left so plenty to do 4 wheels.

It's a sealant with a difference. Most sealants last 2-4 months. This one lasts two years. Apparently.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Would say yes, especially due to it being hard to see 2 coats would ensure 100% coverage.

No point layering. One coat lasts twelve months easy.

I used some I was bought for Christmas last year as part of a GTech Kit.  Wasn't overly impressed TBH.  Found a decent wax/sealant to be better at preventing the Brake dust sticking.

First impression of these tyres is good, and they are no where near scrubbed in yet.  :smiley:

(ohh... and the tyres do look awesome  :notworthy: )

Not really Mike.... eventually they will be sold, they are well and truly knackered mate, shocking to say they have been on 1 year  :surprised:
