Car like New Again !!!!

**GAFF** · 31-01-2007, 16:58

I kinda started to clean the car yesterday and with the nice day I ended up washing it, removing the Tar with Holts Tar Remover, followed by a couple of washes to remove the residue and finally giving it a good coat of Snap Seal. Ah, looks like new again.

Welcome to ASIChemical.com

I wouldn't be too confident about the statement "DO NOT WASH THE CAR! (A light Rinsing might be necessary to remove larger dirt particles.)"

So I always use this to wash it, it has a nice film Welcome to ASIChemical.com

I have sourced it from a guy in Ireland.

Your car always looks in showroom condition... Do you not have enough free time ?

The aul Mk1 looked as good as new the day it went, it got plenty coats of the Snap Seal during the time I had it.

Snap Seal? Hmmm thats a new one on me. Im not 100% suer of a waterless wash. Ill stick to my methods!

Are they 16s?

150HP&counting · 02-02-2007, 14:04

should be 17's on a standard mk1 octy vrs

Chris.G · 02-02-2007, 14:24

Very early ones came with 16"s I think as did the estate.

Those do look small for 17"s though.

Oh yea, nice job on the cleaning BTW

I take my hat off to you. I cant stand cleaning cars though it is nice to stand back and admire the work when its finished

All Irish MK1s came with 16" wheels as standard for the whole production run. 17s were optional extras.

They were also lacking climate control, and had standard A/C only. However they did get the centre armrest as standard.

I'd be in agreement there alright, but the results when washed normally and Snap Seal used really speak for themselves. And its really easy to put on and take off
