Hi All, Looking for some recommendation on how to wax the rear panel on the T4 California Exclusive which is made in composite construction (GRP). Can I use standard wax like the Autoglym Super Resin Polish or could it damage the surface? Thanks
 
Autoglym is fine. Crack on.
 
It's simply a clearcoat, so same approach/treatment is fine.

GRP warms up faster though, so if using a rotary polisher or similar - be mindful of working an area too long. It's easier than metalic bodywork to overheat and marr the clearcoat.

Thanks for explanation. I'll be doing it by hand so the overheat shouldn't be a problem but good to know :)
I guess same goes for the highroof but it will take some time to polish
 
Clay it first for best results.
 
I polish the whole care, same product; don't forget the high top, can be messy after some time. I wax it 2 à 3 times per year.
Have fun up there :cool:

Hey @BrugseB , liking the lights with the extra trim - where did you find them?
Cheers, Matt.
