I found leaving the collinite for a few hours or so to go rock hard delivery much better results- anyone else tried this?

Although you will get a arm work-out buffing it off!

Once it's cured it's cured mate. It's just excessive after that and more work for you!

Moisture indeed helps get it off, I just used spray water though.

I applied to heavy a coat, in the sun and left in on to long. Never again. Had my brother and his friend come back home to help me remove it.

As Tim said, when its cured its ready to remove. 2 thin coats are lots better than 1 thick one.

Nothing major to report, got a couple of pictures & video's this weekend so i'll post them later in the week.
Spent all day yesterday cleaning up the wheels, suspension & brake callipers so everything is looking clean at the moment.

Got the 16" BBS rims back on now so it looks much better 8)

Here are a few pics from the weekend as promised - big thanks to my mate Jon for the snaps :)

I spent most of Sunday cleaning up the RXII's before fitting them, spent hours polishing the outer lips and applying 3 coats of Poorboys Wheel Sealant (fantastic product). I also cleaned up all the suspension, re-taped the threads on the coilovers and tidied up the brake calipers too.

Got a few videos too which i'll post up when I get chance

The GTI looks tiny compared to my mates Civic EP3 Type R

Though does look like your exhaust needs adjusting at the back to make it sit higher and level lol

:D Its a case of beauty and the beast reference the Polo & Civic
The Polo in my eyes is the better looking but the Civic is just raw and brutal :)
