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,

doesnt your car still have some leftover from the 7 layers of aerospace-grade sealant, THEN the 9 layers of wax that you put on it for dubstitute?
I have never given it a proper correction, which is what it needs to get rid of the swirls, Yes there are swirls in my paint lol.
Would like to try the Wolfs Body Wrap too

I do get a bit of wheelspin coming out of the tight corners but it's manageable - I either try to feed the power in or get the car pointed straight until I hammer it. You can also short shift to 3rd coming out of the corners and ride the wave of torque.
Hopefully break into 1:44s after I add a bit more bracing and wider tyres...but this won't be anytime soon

I have a few waxes, Dodo Juice Supernatural, Dodo Juice Bouncers 22 Limited Edition, Rubbish Boys, Home Brew Dodo Juice (made myself lol), Concorso, Mirage, Onyx, P21S, DJ PH, DJ PHP, Orange Crush, Rainforest Rub, Collinite, Naviwax.. I'll stop there! Thats just waxes, not sealants or glass or nano coatings!haha. LOL (will sell some soon i think!)
If you have a RO already grab some FG500 or PF2500 as the vag paint is hardcore.
Will hit Lora's this weekend lightly with the Rotex or DAS6Pro probably as its time to be redone and redo it all again properly (yes bit of a waste i know oh well!)
Regarding Body Wrap, we've done a few cars now with it.. awesome stuff. I wont use it as ill get bored if i had it on my own car i think. But you use very minimal per car.Last edited by fuzion; 15-03-2012, 04:03 PM.What’s behind you doesn’t matter..

Jetseal is ok, but nothing flash! You would be happy with Bodywrap vs Jetseal. Depends how involved you wanna be, wax, or sealantWhat’s behind you doesn’t matter..
