Jen Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 made a huge difference al, well worth the effort. makes him look sooooo smooth! which tar remover did you use? im terrified using any form of abrasive "remover" on a black car! would the quik clay have the same effect as the tar remover? going to take mine off soon too i think!Jen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) you'd probably end up with bits of sticky stuff stuck in the clay tbh...I used autoglym tar remover... It did the job excelent, apart from the last foot of sticky stuff took me over an hour to remove border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> Edited December 15, 2005 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently sticking £150 a month away in a bank account to go towards this said retrim, and i'm hoping on spending no more than £1000.That looks fan bloody tastic one of my favourite lupos, everything looks spot on. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbsup:" border="0" alt="thumbsup.gif" /> Shucks.. you guys know how to make me feel proud style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> I'm not sure weather to leave the car stripless as theirs a fair bit of paintwork which looks to ve damaged as such, so in reality i'd like some way of covering it up. I recently saw that on the new passat they have some nice Chrome rubbing strips, so soon as i get home i'm gona have a go at photoshoping some on and see how well it looks... I think it should look quite nice, just the matter of how much they will cost and how i would go about cutting the rear ones down in order for them to fit propperly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeky tdi Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hmmmm not so sure on the idea of the chrome strips personally mate, id rather throw it in a good bodyshop and have the paint defects sorted out myself, however I wont say nothing untill I see a photoshop first, hehe!How comes you aint been on msn, your like ALWAYS on there normally style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />Lee.

MOMO! Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Took my rubber strips of last week, used tar/glue remover then t/cut and a good coat of autoglym, looked great no fading marks until i washed it yesterday in the freezing cold and now the passenger side has a white mark down where the strips were, any ideas why anyone??

nfbr Posted January 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I used autoglym paint renovator, then a few coats of wax, then i Washed the car a couple of weeks later, used Megiuars clay detailing system, then applied a coat of autoglym super resyn polish, zymol cleaner wax, and finally a coat of autoglym ultra deep gloss. I was gona put extra gloss protection on, but it had gone too dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
