Hey guys,

I know its not really a mod but more a upkeeping thing however this colour polish which I bought to cover up chips in my paint is awesome!

I use Maguairs gear normally and its the best but I decided to use this colour polish today to clear up a few scratches .. Worked a treat when from nice dead white scratch to nice low white/grey/black colour and if I used the scratch chipstik it disappears ..

I used the chipstik to cover up deep chips in the paint as I park outside and rust is not kewl!

Decided to polish the boot, hood and roof and it removed the water marks aloooooot better than maguires gear i.e TEK WAX level stuff! (known as one of the best)

Thought id pass on the experience as ive read several people say its crap .. the chip stik lasts a few washes etc .. Its not true its been about 20 washes since ive applied it and there is no chance it is going to come off in the next 20 by the look of it!

Remember if your appling over rust scratch off the rust with a knife .. (id suggest taping the surrounding area first)

So if you got scratches (from keys or whatever) go get some now .. wish I would have used it sooner (ive had it bluddy 3 months)

hmmm becareful we sell this stuff and it aint great can stain paint.

remmeber the TEK WAX is a wax not a polish so it is not designed to remove water marks.

Stain paint you say .. interesting .. Dont think ill have a problem my cars black ..

However tek wax has the ability remove water marks according to what you can use it for ..

While im here .. should I tek wax over the polish?

Turtle Wax is NOT better than Meguiars, and the coloured polish is an absolute last resort for very old and tired/faded paint.

It sounds like you need to do some more research into exactly which products you are using to do what job.

Personally I use Auto Glym cream polish and Meguairs wax and have done so on my last 5 cars to keep the paintwork at a show quality standard.

I've tried this stuff ... and god dammit it's awful. The application of the stick is only a temporary measure... the residue you leave behind filling in the scratches comes off eventually. And the colour polish makes your paint work so dull. I spent about an hour removing the shit off my car with wax and grease remover... never using that stuff again.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
