The GTI! - Alex's Thread - Leather :D

[Tim_GTi]

Sounds good! I'd definitely skip the megs step1 and AG SRP steps though, especially if you've already clayed the car.

[alexperkins]

There are a few swirls that need softening. Megs and AG will help that

[Tim_GTi]

Nothing gets rid of swirls accept a machine. polish only masks swirls, the klasse will do that!

[alexperkins]

Meh Ill Megs Step 1 it for good measure lol. Ye the klasse should with a few nice coats

[Tim_GTi]

You'll be wasting your time!

Clay, Klasse & Collinte is the perfect combo.

Wash and Clay - Cleans and decontaminates.
Klasse - Masks, shines and seals.
Collinite - Seals, protects and further shines!

Step 1 is a con, does no more than a clay or basic wax/polish cleaner.
SRP does the same as the Klasse, but the Klasse does a better job!

Just my view on it

[alexperkins]

I think ill listen to you lol

[alexperkins]

Shiiiiney:

I occasionally visit tidy vag and so vag, but im mainly on here 90% of the time.

What bug you got? Love the classics - so much more fun to restore and so much more fun to tinker with. No computer to control it
