Dans vectra c

Post by nathcarr »

Looken clean buddy, if your after some good products and not bothered about the cost auto glym is by far the best out there you can get it all in eBay cheap enough and last ages because you need very little product.
I got my auto glym kit from halfords it was 70 quid but you get 9 products plus chamois sponge and cloth with a guide but it's 50 quid on eBay I think
Oh and demon shine snow foam and demon shine finish wash/wax [emoji108][emoji41] Image

It's definitely a brand of products I've been considering, just the price has been a little off putting. What products were part of the kit when it comes to interior?
For the upholstery, I'm going to try this turtle wax stuff

Iv read good stuff about it and it's only £4 in B&Q.

You get a rubber and vinyl dressing for interior which is awesome a glass cleaner which is like a wax, can't remember what the 3rd is because you get 3 wheel and tyre cleaners 3 exterior products and 3 interior products.
That turtle wax phone is really good buddy I have it my self and really rate it. Hoover the car first spray the foam on scrub it in with brush then Hoover again brings it up really well

Haha yeah had to do that before, then you end up with loads of kitchen roll to hoover up, [emoji23] the only thing I would say about it is take the brush part off the tin when you do it because it just end up braking off haha

Debating wether to remove my rear griffin badge or not, what's your thoughts after this poorly done phone edit.

Also does anyone know if the Vectra has the 3 holes behind the badge like the Astra?

I prefer it with the badge, I think they do have the pins
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Got some scratch remover out yesterday and done some good on the griffin marks. I'd say im about 95% on my way to no mark at all. I'm sure another go of the scratch remover and some elbow grease will get me there.
