waxx

[bec]

hey guys
i tried to wax my car..but i had never done it before and i didnt know what i was doing and i just read the instructions on the back of the wax tin. I didnt read the bit which said not to use on surfaces which aren't metal.
Anyways so now i have these ugly white marks on the non-metal bits and ive tried to wash it off, scrub off with a sponge, scratch off...
and it won't come off!
do you guys have any tips?
thnx

AutoGlym have a bumper restoration polish. That should solve your problem. They are about $25 a bottle from Autotobarn.

OK some left field suggestions.

Try a pencil eraser, and if that doesnt work, peanut butter.

[LoriJarrod]

Any trim detailer will work.

I'll have to try a pencil eraser. Sounds good in theory.

Yeah you will always get some on the bumpers (well I do anyway), I have used the Meguiars gold Class detailer and it worked a treat. Just dont rub that onto the paint!

[Flaps]

Just a tip...

I had the same issue. I used a hard scrubbing brush to firstly losen it all and then put all the plastic trims in the dish washer. Worked a treat!

thanks guys! i will try that trim detailer stuff...
i dont know if that nick was serious about putting it in the dish washer though?
or brumue and the pencil eraser...?

and another question
do u guys know whether the gti is faster than a wrx?
the golf or the polo...

thnx

Stock WRX is about the same as a chipped Polo GTI. A stock Golf GTI will be just behind that. A chipped Golf GTI should leave it well behind.

and if that doesnt work, peanut butter.

who uses peanut butter on their car?

I guess it will make your car look nuts

???? Wrong thread maybe ......

BTW... chipped Polo GTI will run very close to a chipped Golf GTI. Stock Golf gets seriously left behind by both chipped Polo and WRX....

The secret is in the power to weight figures. 131kw/1000kg (Polo chipped) v 140kw/1000kg (Golf chipped) v 109kw/1000kg (Golf std). It comes down to traction on the day and skill of the driver.

thnx

only one way to find out theres plenty of rexy's waiting at lights around sydney lol. chipped polo will definitely munch a stock rex though (but is there such a thing as a stock rex??)

Nope, answering the original thread starter's other question.

haha call me nuts , but im serious about both.

It's got something to do with the oils in the peanuts, you smear it on leave it for a few and then wash off. Google "peanut butter auto trim" or something similar.

And the eraser works well too
