Now listen up double-O 7 and a 1/2 (ade )!!!

Quick detailing (pls note this is my own version - does not mean it is correct and always use the method u prefer):

Disclaimer: Got tooooooo COLD, so skipped AG Paint Renovator step

Step 1: Preparation

I use these:

Audrey BEFORE pics:

Step 2: Quick Wash (preferably 2 bucket wash with Microfibre Mitts - If u can afford it Sheep/wool Mitts)

Step 3: Claying

Use WARM water to spray on clay bar to soften and play with it until this size and thickness.

(Spray area to be clayed with warm water too):

After claying 1/2 the boot top surface only:

Then fold clay bar in 1/2 (dirty side inside).

Then spray more warm water to flatten to a nice egg size again - then clay another part of car.

(Remember to wipe each clayed area with a microfibre cloth):

After claying the boot / Bonnet and folded 10 times:

Step 4: AG Paint Renovator (skipped)

But, I decided to fix this scratch...

Before:

Clayed, and applied AG Paint Renovator:

DoDo Juiced and cleaned with Microfibre cloth:

Step 5: DoDo Juice

Step 6: Polish off DoDo Juice with LARGE Microfibre cloth

The BEADING test:

Wot does everyone think?

BriSkoda.net decal DISASTER!

It does NOT stick to a CLEAN bonnet?!!!

NOT does it stick to a CLEAN window using?!!!

(Ok, I stick on the wrong side of window - but, still) ...

Windows cleaned with Mr Muscle "Window and Glass" does the job fine and shows the BriSkoda sticky with crystal clear pride!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

er, HOW do I lift the wipers up (clear of windscreen) to clean the windscreen?

Or, how does one replace the wipers?

The bonnet is in the way?!!!

that briskoda sticker it quite small, thought you would have got the circle one with the "B" on it, looks tiny compared to my rear window sticker.not the henrys one by the way

turn ignition on turn wipers on when wipers pointing strait up turn ignition of easy.paintwork looking good wayne

bill

For the wipers, turn ignition on and back off, press wiper stalk down, wipers will then go into the ‘service position’ (¾ up the screen) allowing you to lift the wipers from the screen … the wipers do not work if the bonnet is open!

RTFM

does he have a manual???

Most VAG car are like this. Just after switching the ignition to the off position use the one swipe (1 push down on wiper stalk) this will put the in service mode and they will stay pointing upwards. Doesn't work if the bonnet is open. Hth

Alloys pristine now

BEFORE:

AFTER:

These are a PAIN to put on!!!

I can't see how these PLASTIC tweezers will pull them out without either snapping the tweezer or the plastic dust covers?!!!

Thks Racing Boy.

But I WANT to be able to see behind in that TEENY rear screen of mine.

Yours is HUGE!

Yes - not decided whether to use the ROUND sticky yet....

Thks Bill, Jonnie, Martin!

I used to have a 1999 VW Golf V5 - never had a problem with the wipers then?!!! :think:

Mandp.

Oi - this is my thread - no bad language!!!

Only one language is allowed here!

Good English ...

... and bad english

Bill - yep I have a manual.

But blokes don't read manuals (the instructions)!!!

Ok - maybe for cars ....safer than sorry!

Cheers Racing Boy.

Nearly broke my wrist, let alone my old back nearly trying to get those dust caps on....getting too old ...may have to get some help in the form of a zimmer frame sooner or later

Not much time left.

Difficult choice between reading the MANUAL (note: Mandp) or ploughing on before the sky breaks loose with mother nature...

Still to do:

1. Fit rear window blinds

2. Leather clean the inside

3. Wet wipe the inside

4. Boot clean (DONE: When had a flat tyre - spare tyre/well now cleaned)

5. Engine - need to rust-proof that Fuel Filter casing

No rest for the wicked.....

(Wayne nips out for Fish n Chips lunch ....)

does he have a manual???

He's said he has.

Re cruise control, I specced this on my S spec along with rear parking sensors and 4 heated seats. I would definitely spec cruise again, probably spec rear sensors given size of car but seats were a nice to have that won't add resale value so probably won't spec again

By the way RTFM does work

I recommend Gliptone for the leather and I love 303 Aerospace protectant for all plastic trim, dash board, door cards, rubber seals, engine bay etc brilliant stuff expensive though.

in your pics the dust caps look slightly more silver while mine look more grey don't know if it is because they are different alloys

Alright, Alright!

I will read the manual then!

U guys beginning to sound like my grandmother!

Racing Boy!

When I ordered from Thomasz - he emailed me pics of TWO colours: GREY or CHROME/Silver.

I picked the CHROME/Silver one cos they seem best to match Audrey's alloys.

I suspect u got the GREY ones.

Jonnie.

Not decided wot to use for the inside yet.

And too tired after lunch...so will leave the inside cleansing til nx time ...

Last job:

Rear Window Blinds are in now (not the rollable ones, just a sheet that fits into place)...

Need a STRONG brew and a bed now..... :zzz:

You'll have to give your wallet a rest too at some point. Lol
