RE: paint and plastic protection

Looks good but watching the video it is 6mm thick once applied which may cause problems. I also dont like the idea of flat sanding or scotch brighting the car before applicationto make sure it sticks.

I think the frint bumper on the Evoque could do with some protection somehow from stone chips but i wont be going for this type of solution.

RE: paint and plastic protection

Haven't watched the vid yet (on my phone at Month) but 6mm (@bas above) seems very thick - reading the 'About' page seems to indicate 0.6mm

I use Collinite 915 (a couple of coats) - last put on in March, and still beading like crazy

(needs buffing immediately, panel at a time - if it dries it's a b****r to get off !)

RE: paint and plastic protection

I took my car in to "Rust Check" on Regent last year for a rust proofing treatment. It cost about $120 for a small Honda.For localized and tough stains that resist soap and water, try Fantastic, and if that doesn't do it, try some isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) available from drug stores.

RE: Advice please

Was going to get my RRE a CQuartz detailing treatment after purchase. Spoke to the detailer and he's advising that I contact the dealer to stop them from valetting the car before I take delivery as this is what causes all the squirls, holograms appearing.

Is this really the case - am I being too anal and should I just do this myself?
