from all staff at VX.O.C

Well today I went to the Meguiars seminar.

We were told that if you go to a body shop or a paint a part yourself you should not wax it for 60-90 days, this allows the paint to harden properly. If you do wax before the 60-90 days the paint will be soft.

They said you can polish fresh paint.

Thanks to Lewis for providing me the grill to test paint.

Hi all,

Thought i'd say hello. I'm not new to the forum just never registered but have always just floated in the background. I used to be active on AOC and A0N with a MK4 Astra coupe but disappeared for 4yrs due to the purchase of a Ford Focus. Anyway, i'm back having purchased a new J.

Hi everyone, I'm Peter from Stockport near Manchester UK. I drive a bright yellow 2013 Astra GTC SRi 2.0CDTi Auto and love it.

Well as most of you know my new company car arrived. As it was driven from the dealership in Norwich it arrived with 175 miles on the clock. Within a few days I started the prep work for the forthcoming detail.


First up was to foam the car & give it a wash with Farecla G3 Body Prep shampoo. Then it was dried off with the awesome Big Yellow drying towel.
