How'd you polish it? Did you take it off? Need more details mate. Im a complete novice with this kinda stuff. Did you get th brasso out


You cant beat brasso!

 

[Stephen O]

I didnt remove it, you might be able to see from the pic you cant polish the bottom section as it wont polish up like the rest. I just used a product called 'Neva Dull' made by Eagle One (American company). Basically it is like Brasso sort of stuff.

There's still stuff to do, wouldnt mind removing front bumper to clean/polish Fmic. But removing the bumper sound's like a nightmare!

Its not, its a piece of p*ss about 15 screws, then off she comes.Ive just got my wheels back today and they look fantastic. I put them on tonight after work but forgot the camera ill post some pics up tomorrow.

 

[Stephen O]

Damn!! You beat me to it!

We only get plastic boost pipes on ours , would the cupra one be a direct swap?
What stuff did you use to clean all the shitty parts of you car with ? ie the wheel arches, underneith, and suspension?

 

[Triple D]

They look about the same colour, maybe a bit darker than the one in you avatar

 

[Stephen O]

My avatar is a photochop, my wheels are being painted and should be back later this week.

I used Autoglym Engine and Machine cleaner, it's a really good cleaner for most thing's!

Cupra pipe may be direct swap, i cant see why not!! Afterall it goes the same route!

Me thinks im gonna have to get some of that stuff, especially the boost pipe.

 

[Stephen O]

Get the pipe and polish up before you fit it, will look mint!

The Autoglym stuff is Sh*t hot, Just spray on, leave for 15 mins and wipe off the grime and crap!
