A mate did on his, can't hurt but I'm hoping you don't have to be fair. Saves buying some then all the haste of putting it on!

Shouldn't need it...but less than max strength shouldn't hurt.

The only time I changed mine, about a month ago, I used some. The guide I followed said to and it only takes a second to put some on ....peace of mind and all that.

Treated all exterior trim with AutyGlym plastic gel - Awesome stuff  :congrats:

Must say took a good couple of hours as I had to give it 3-4 coates and the honeycoombe grill takes a while as you can imagine   :star:

Missed it dearly as it's in the bodyshop being colour coded with the addition of an ed30 front. Public transport is grim!

Car is finally sorted for my UK trip tomorrow.

Travelling from Isle of Man to Kent, Wales, Fife then Liverpool.

Had clutch, flywheel, Dogbone small bush, rear spring arm inner bushes, audi S3 consoles and a subframe bracket.

Today it is getting alignment then mapping out engine light and I'll be good to go.

Been a long 3 weeks without my car ahaha!
