Re: Best bushes?

Except the Powerflex Factory burned down a short while ago...

Some of the articles I've read are contradictory on this.


The clay bar won't get rid of oxidisation per say, it's main job it to removed "Bonded contaminants" (tar/tree sap etc) which make the ...

repair panels?

Are there any commercially available repair panels for the MK2 still about?

Think I may need some arches (from water being trapped under the rubber 'Kit) soon...
