To make my paint look like new? Got the grit gaurd bucket, lambs wool wash mitt & large drying towel, aswell as claying my car for the first time ever at the weekend, didnt realise how dirty it was! What other clothes should i be using for applying, removing polish? What polish should I...

I've got a pressuer washer, not one of the more powerful versions, but still handy in getting all the grub loose prior to scrubbing it down. My normal routine for a quick wash is: blast down the car with the pressure washer use the 2 bucket method with autoglym shampoo rinse down with the...

Am fed up of washing my car the normal way and when it drys there is always spots I miss espeically on a black colour car. Have heard about this snow foam you can wash your car with? Has anyone done this before and how does it work? Where can I get it from and costs etc?

As the title asks, the usual leak I was in my boot this affo and noticed the carpet is damp on the O/S near the rear seat. The rear seat squab is also a little wet where it meets the boot carpet. No puddles etc. just damp. It smells of the strong screen wash that I use in the car. I did use the...

I have been given the part number of 6Q0 955 453 S as the large 5 ltr bottle to fit in to the Mk4 ibiza. ( Std bottle is about 2.5 ltr ) This is the bottle without a level sensor hole in it. Could anyone confirm that this is the correct larger bottle ? Cheers

Morning, My rear wash has stopped working. I have checked the hose above the drivers side wheel which seems fine and is connected. Is the next plce to check the actual hose under the boot trim or is there another one of these somewhere else in the car to check. You cn hear the motor going so...

Hi Guys, My rear wash wipe wasn't working so i have taken the panel off the boot and tried to clean it out the problem seems to be at the top of the wash where the pipe turns at a 90o angle before coming out. What the best way of getting all the crud out ??, can the whole mechanism be...

Finally decided to give the car a cleaaan and take some snaps! Had it for a while now and had some good and some bad moments, but all in all pleased! Could be sitting a tad lower at the back, but thinking of a wheel change, along with a few other bits, in time for the upcoming vag shows...

Hello all, Pretty sure I've got the standard rear wash problem (pipe becoming disconnected etc.), however I'm not completly sure I know where the pipe runs from the bottle to the back. Seem to have water coming out of the plastic here - but still not entirely sure. Does it run under the...

Hi everyone, Foolishly about 9 months ago, I took my car through a Car Wash and a couple days later under bright light found scratches all over my Car bonnet and a few wings of my shiny Red Ibiza. To be frank, I was pretty upset with myself as stupid me didn't know the dangers of the everyday...

hi there has anyone ever pressure washed there engine :shrug::confused: i have herd that you can do it but just to make sure engine is running and to protect air filter ect

Since i can remember ive always used a normal sponge to wash my cars but recently there seems to be so much more choice out there on what you should and shouldnt use! What would you recommend? Sheepskin Wash Mitt Sheepskin Wash Pad Lambswool Wash Mitt Microfibre Wash &...

Hi, Just thought i would post some pics of my LCR, after a quick wash this morning. Cheers, Will

Hi I've just about used up my Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo and although i was impressed by its results, i'm always on the look out for something new to try. I came across 'Werkstat Auto Body Wash' and after doing a search on here for it, no one seems to have tried it. Just wondered if...

Afternoon all, Im hoping someone will be able to give me some answers to my issue. Firstly, if a car has a rear wash wipe, will it fail an MOT is the wash feature fails to work? My seat Ibiza 1.9 sport’s wash function is not working as it should. The nozzle seems clean, as I have...

I have searched the forum regarding my rear window washer not working, I noticed a few people had problems with the connection popping off in the cold and flooding the boot. I took the panel off and it had popped off. I tried to run water through but nothing at all (seems like a double whammy...

Had a search for this but cant really find anything. Im going to finally take the plunge and de-wiper the rear of my car. Using Rain-X has made my mind up for me. Where is the connection for the pipe that leads from the engine bay to the rear. Reason Im asking is that Im going to (if...

As thread states. Are you traditional or have you moved on? I have yet to make the leap to microfibre and look forward to some of your thoughts and opinions.

I've got a leak on my rear washer hose on my Altea XL which is no-doubt due to freezing and a joint opening up. When I operate the rear wash a very small amount of fluid comes out on the screen but a large amount runs out underneath the car in-front of the rear right-hand wheel. I can't really...

Hi Guys, I've noticed in the past week, there was no no water coming out of the rear window jet. So I checked today, and the water is coming out the bottom of hatch door. Question before I strip all the panel off what do I look for as the problem:confused: Thanks in advance.
