What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[Corey_R]

Any 504.00 approved oil.

I'm personally using Liqui-Moly Top Tec 4200 5W-30 in my Golf R.

Today I washed the Polo and applied Duco-Scratch's DIY paint protection.

If it stays looking like it does now for even close to the what they say this is a winner of a product.

I am no car cleaning nazi but I have never (and I mean never EVER) seen a car so glossy and shiny, not that I walk around with a reflectocometer or anything but wow I am impressed.

I'll write up some more in the detailing forum.

The picture speaks the thousands words, my friend.

Same here. My sis just bought me a vw keyring and beanie from the vw website, while I'm still reading up on which products to get for interior protection.

303 my friend, the best and only one to consider for plastics etc

Yep +1000000 on the 303 Aerospace from me. Not only is it great on all interior plastics and vinyl, but exterior plastics and rubber as well! Yep, those window seals etc. It also has SPF 40+ or whatever, so it's doubly awesome.

Thanks Gavs and Corey_R. I was thinking of getting the Nanolex Textile and Leather Sealant but after looking at the 303 Aerospace with SPF protection i'm sold. It's cheaper too.

[Corey_R]

well... hold up there! lol

Nanolex Textile and Leather Sealants are for a different purposes!

Textile means the fabrics (door trim, roof liner, carpet etc), and leather obviously the leather.

The 303 Aerospace is for plastics, rubber and vinyl etc. So the Nanolex Textile sealant you would still use on all carpet/material/textile surfaces. You could use the 303 Aerospace on leather seats, but the nanolex leather sealant is more specific and longer lasting... the 303 would be more equiv to a combined leather cleaner/conditioner, although you'd still be arguably better to use a specific leather product that than the 303 in that respect too...

Summary:
1) Scotchguard OR textile sealant for all carpet, cloth seats, cloth inserts and roof liner
2) Leather cleaner and conditioner OR leather sealant for leather seats
3) 303 Aerospace for all rubber, plastic, acrylic, and fibreglass, both inside AND outside, with the exception of your tyres - it's cheaper and usually uses less product to use a specific tyre black.

I stand corrected.

* 303 Aerospace for the dash
* Nanolex Textile and Leather sealant for the cloth seats
* Nanolex Alloy Rim Sealant Kit for the wheels

Just waiting for cash so i could get it. Lucky it's pay day tomorrow.

May have been answered before, what tyre black do you guys use?

[Corey_R]

It depends on what you want.
Since people have different opinions and requirements, you're best to check the http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ing-56004.html thread

Cheapest is kiwi shoe polish in the bottle, the liquid one with the sponge on the end. Some people have used it to great effect but I'm not 100%sure how well it works, especially with wheel fling. I just some stuff in a can, it's actually the best finish I've found, makes the tyres look new again without being hyper glossy and fake-looking.
