Couple of questions I've been meaning to ask for ages
« on: November 16, 2011, 09:38:58 pm »
First question is on detailing.....

I have a Candy White Ed30, which is in pretty good condition, despite me not being as dedicated as some people on here.  However, the lower section of the front and rear bumpers have become pretty dirty and ingrained.  The usual washing & pressure hose don't budge it... are there any tricks to getting these sections back to their original state??? any help will be much appreciated

Secondly, I was wondering if there is any way to use the RNS510 Sat Nav to give true speeds, in the same way as stand alone units can??

Might've been worth posting the first question in the detailing section.

Anyway, I'd consider using a tar remover and follow by a clay bar. Not seen anything that can't be shifted with that combo.

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

Also try an iron fallout remover such as IronX or Wolfs Brake Duster.

Have a look on detailing world . com, they'll help you out.

Feel free to send me a pm if you'd like any more advice.  :happy2:

I was looking for the detailing section.... but couldn't see it obviously... is it a subsection??
