Would stock suspension benefit from a spray of GT85 and is there anything else down there that you would recommend a squirt?

[Newannaive]

The gt85 is primarily to keep the coilover threads clean and moisture free so they don't corrode over time. So if you clean the stock suspension it will do the same job to the springs and seats etc..

The stock suspension tends to corrode where the spring contacts the upper and lower spring seats and where the spring protectors rub on the coils of the spring. If you were to have a bit of a spring clean (see what i did there) on your stock sussies then you'd probably end up having a bit of tart up with some satin black hammerite anyway.

I normally give the droplinks and the bushes a squirt at the same time to keep them lubed up, not that they really need it.

Ok thanks, i,ll let you know how i get on.

No not yet, must admit my wheel arches could do with a good clean only problem i have is all the material crap on the rear arches that makes them look so dirty all the time :bad-words:

[Newannaive]

Rip it out dude.. :thumbup:

[Stevo M81]

Is that what you did or is that because they changed it for the face-lift for sound proofing.

[Newannaive]

It's only on the facelifts, but it is what I would do if I had wheel arch sound proofing..

[Stevo M81]

Mite just do that as it really does my head in when i wash and wax the car and then look at those wheels arches and think that just lets the overall clean of the car down. Think its only a few screws that holds in the sound proofing anyway. Were is ur thread now as i mite need it for a little OCD cleaning

No bother matey :thumbup: forgot to say this wheel sanding is a real pain in the arse on OEM wheels nearly finished the 1st one.

[Dubbz]

Last time I had me wheels off the arches are atrocious. Began trying to clean them, but the dirt was so thick my efforts were futile

I'll be buying some of that Megs APC, looks to of made short work of the job.

[GazEP3]

Will be giving my undercarriage a good wash this week :salut:

Seriously though, was wondering what would be a decent product to keep the plastics in the arches nice and clean looking as it's often an area that can let the car down when at shows n stuff
