I got 2. So if I only need one bottle the other will be up for grabs. :-)

As Jay said, it's the best there is.

I've never liked the Poorboys stuff at all either.  The CG 'slop' is even worse!!

You can't go wrong with C5 Rich, just follow Jay's instructions regarding application.

I used to be indecisive.......... but now I'm not so sure!

i found the PB stuff really good. makes keeping the wheels clean deal easy.

it was a bit hard to buff off though when applying but maybe i put too thick a layer on?

i did 3 coats when car was brand new (oct 1st) and its still working. I'm going to apply a couple more coats now the road salt is here though.

I always use poorboys in the summer and zymol titanium for a winter wheel wax

Hello Guys, my new wheels should turn up any day now, would you apply the C5 before or after having the tyres fitted ?
Thanks

Elite do it for £50. Price-wise you're not gonna get it cheap.

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