With 303 AP, I spray liberally all over the engine bay. On large flat surfaces I will gently run a rolled up cloth over the surface but with no pressure at all. Initially it looks like a wet surface with pools of white liquid but just close the bonnet and then start cleaning the wheels and the rest of the car. About an hour or so later you'll see a lovely even sheen.

I've found it depends on the product. With 303 Aerospcae Protectant I've found little to no dust build up after five months on the engine bay. Ours needs doing sometime I think as the last time it was cleaned was back in March 2016.

I don't know. They did keep changing the shape of the bottle over the last couple of years. I haven't bought any for a while because it's quite expensive for the amount needed for a car (especially in this day and age of plastic engine covers, etc...) and where it gets used (I use Adam's Invisible Undercarriage spray for wheel arches, other products for others plastics depending on the surface and where). It is a great product though.

Cheers mate. I do love those new plates. Beautiful Cumbrian flag. I did another 5 Series today. An older one that yesterday. The interior was filthy.

Today was not a Skoda day but a BMW and training day.

Gtechniq T1 tyres and trim. Very long lasting, no fling off when driving, non glossy but add another coat after ten minutes and can be made glossier. It's about £10 for a 250ml bottle but it goes a long way and as I say, it lasts.

Welcome to the group mate. Sorry I can't help about the timing belt, etc... The L&K is a great specced car. Still seems high for the mileage and age. Saying that the Superbs are known for eating up the miles effortlessly. As long as there is warranty left, actually saying that, if they won't budge on price, see if you can get an extended warranty on it.

A small number of things arrived yesterday. Just the stuff I was almost out of.
