[vintagvw] Re: Winter modifications and necessities.
I appreciate the low budget tips. I am planning on utilizing this one a lot. I need a new front apron, and I figure towels placed appropriately will go a long way to keeping a bit of the cold out.

[vintagvw] Polishes and waxes
Volks, My bug got new paint about 5 years ago; it's in excellent shape. I keep the car in a carport, with a soft car cover much of the time. I've kept a good quality new-car wax on it -- most recently Meguire's, and before that Turtle Wax brand new-car wax (not their abrasive polish). Haven't used a polish yet. So this week when my bottle of Meguire's ran out, I bought some Mother's California Gold Pure Carnauba Wax. (Step 3, nonabrasive). I didn't use their Step 1 Cleaner or Step 2 Sealer as I didn't think I need them. I like the company because they support regional VW shows with handouts, advertising, and promotional stuff (very clever do not touch signs, etc.), so thought I'd buy their product. I'm disappointed, but don't know whether I've done something wrong, or whether it's the product's fault. I followed directions carefully (I've also done this a time or two) and buffed and rubbed everything by hand. The finish is hazy, streaky, and instantly shows every fingerprint and touch. The wax -- even thoroughly dried and wiped -- is soft and smudges easily. I've never had this problem with Turtle Wax brand or Meguire's brand products. What are your observations? Can you recommend any good surface protection for a show car that will keep rain beading and look good for a full season? I'm in a hot Southern climate that still hits single digits in the wintertime.

Re: [vintagvw] Polishes and waxes
Bert, A few questions: (1) What color is your car? (2) When you touch the pain with a clean hand does the surface feel very smooth? Here is what I do: If the paint is rough to your touch I do the following after the car has been thoroughly cleaned (and not dried, I leave the car wet) if not clean an wax (1) Clay Bar (2) If the paint is scratched machine poslish with 3M Finesse-it (3) Machine Polish with 3M Imperial hand glaze Clean the car again to remove all polish residue and dry For wax my recommendations: (1) For light colored cars Liquid Glass easy to apply and remove by hand and lasts a long time (2) For dark colored cars or black Gliptone Wet Coat /w Carnauba Show Gloss this is one of the few that do not leave streaks but it is important to do small areas at a time and use a clean cloth to remove.

Re: [vintagvw] Polishes and waxes
Hey Bert, unless you have any scratches or oxidization I don't think abrasive is the way to go with your car. Claybar removes stuck on stuff on your paint. Its literally a bar of clay that you rub across your paints finish with a lubricant to pick up the stuck on tar, bird droppings whatever is stuck on. Before I wax my car I usually use dish soap which should remove all residual waxes(Car wash soap won't remove wax). I only dish soap when I want to remove wax and prep the finish. Otherwise Mothers car wash soap is what I use.. Plus it smells nice! To me it sounds like you might be dealing with residual wax. But that's just my take on it. -Kirin On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 11:23 AM, Bert Knupp bert.kn...@comcast.net wrote: Volks, Okay, I’m getting some insights.

No towels unless you're planning on using so many you can never shower. I'm in SE Texas and the wind is **COLD** when at commuting speeds. http://www.harborfreight.com/40-inch-x-72-inch-movers-blanket-47262.html And if that doesn't stop it all then break out the duct tape and cover leaks from inside the cab.
