Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Golf R Cleaning Grille

    Does anybody know how to properly clean or polish scuff marks out of the piano black grille? Somebody from work has suggested marine grade polish seeing that it wont cut into the finish. Any ideas?

    I think once they are scuffed you pretty much stuck with it, it is very soft plastic... I use window cleaner to clean them and get that reflective finish.. if you want to go to the trouble of applying a sealer or wax that is fine to, though it is a bit of work to get all the dried product out of the sharp corners.

        I'm using Wurth BMF cleaner for delicate surfaces, and must admit I used it on our Touareg to clean the wheels. The product is very expensive but it cleans like nothing else.

        These guys are using probably the same or similar product with their cleaning gun.

              As you are in Melbourne, give either TigerSoft or Final Inspection a call

              The first is a reseller for Final Inspection detailing products

              Final Inspection details at least one R every week !

              They did my R earlier this year when I drove down and removed marks from the B pillars and grill

              They have suitable products and gear you can buy to do it yourself or they will detail for you.

                        Wasn't being funny

                        Was just saying they support the site

                        The owner is a top guy and one of the most honest people I've ever met

                        Use a dedicated auto product

                        Final Inspection have a couple of fine polishes perfect for the job and they or TigerSoft can help you out

                            I have a number of their FI CAP polishes. Awesome products and made in and by an Aussie company

                            If you were in Sydney I'd do the grill for you mate

                            Really easy.

                            Let me know how you get on
