Is that sarcasm or genuine Arun? , I dunno...? Enlighten me?

I know Sam! They will probably be my next set of wheels!

No seiously, we were talking about wheels for a mk2 and we were looking at a wheel. I remember saying it would look amazing but can't remember what it was

I remember now... Wasn't it a turbine of sorts??

A bit of a detailing question people. I have silicone free dressing for the interior / exterior of my car, dash plastics etc, works and looks pretty good on the exterior, but doesn't last at all really... (After two days of raining there's water streaks / marks)

Anyway, I'm after something new natural-looking / non sticky / long lasting for my vinyl bits / plastics etc. Any ideas? I've heard linseed / ground nut oil's pretty good?

I was looking at getting some clio mk1 16v turbines for mine before i picked up my bargain the other day, would have looked epic imo

if its silicone free its probably water based so that would be why it will run or streak, out of interest, how come you choose to use silicone free?

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Try Tiki Car Care ***** plastic and vinyl sealant. I've been using it and its brilliant.

 

[LMJ]

Sam - apparently, rumour has it, I'm not an expert - but if you get silicone based products on your paintwork, any protection on it is no longer effective, and you can't get it off either? Water based is much better for interior too according to a valeter I know.

Arun, where from, prices?

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Google it you mofo.

You get it straight from tiki, about 12 quid

rumours??

ive never had a problem, but then i dont put it on the paint, i put it on the plastic!

 

[LMJ]

If you get residue on the paintwork, doing your skirts / vinyl bits etc etc, easy enough to do. Read it on another forum anyway... Cheers Arun!

ground nut oil is supposed to be good.

Groundnut oil is amazing to use on the black plastics on the outside of the car!!! . I have started using it after being recommended by Suj and seeing the results of it.

Last for ages aswell on the car before the plastics fade again and the bottle of it lasts ages aswell.

 

[LMJ]

Even through rain and dirt / traffic film etc?

Yes even through that. I dont have any problems with it. And when you wash the car it goes black again.

 

[LMJ]

Nice one! Recommend any brand of ground nut oil? Ha! Morrisons / Tesco jobbie is it?

 

[abhardwaj1990]

M&s

[LMJ]

Ideal! *spank your own ass accompanied by a cheesy smile*...

 

[CraigW]

I got Tescos own brand stuff and it really does the trick!!

 

[ather`s]

sooooo, which is better, asda or tesco?? there`s only 1 way to find out . . . . .FIGHT!!!!!

sorry Llyr, had to be done. but back on track, yes agree with craig, its very good and was recommended by one of our resident detailers, suj quite a while ago.
