Is your bug a dirty girl? Polish her former shiny bits...

Post by Merlin »

Polishing your chrome with Auto Sol will no doubt have the ladies wanting to polish too, probably your knob. ;)

I used it on my rims and daaamn, my bug is now officially The Bling Bug. :mrgreen:

Approx. R.40 and worth every cent.

at least it's only a small item, could be worse, paying 5 times too much on something worth R10 000. :lol:

Always look on the bright side of life, *whistles*.

Auto Sol

Can you please tell me where I can buy this product (AUTO SOL). I recently had my beetle painted and need to keep it shining all the way.

I also use Autosol. A few years ago, it was only available at the BMW Parts Division in Bloemfontein at R 110 a tube, in a 'BMW Genuine Parts' box... :shock:

Nutters.

You can get it for 30-40 a pop.

Try Builder's Warehouse, a glass/brass shop, or a spares shop.
