removing the built up wax
« on: September 26, 2011, 12:06:06 am »
Whats the best way to take away the layers of wax built up... I'm looking at sorting out some of the scratches I have and need to strip back the wax layers built up over the last few months...

I use APC 1:4, with tardis to detar and then claybar. Strips off everything and leaves the surface ready for polishing.

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

Currently using Megs APC. Think I got mine from elitecarcare. A fellow forumite, Keith, has his own detailing company, Wash Shop and he may be able to help you out.  :happy2:
