Hi guys. I'm sure some one on her can help
I've got a vw transporter and it's meant to be artic white but it's started to look rather yellowish on one side. I'm not sure if it's where the previous owner used to park it ?????

I wanna try and get it back it former white if it's possible

Any ideas ??

Cheers al

Ive got a 99 transporter and its gone slightly yellow (only very slightly) but I also know a guy who is a valeter and offered to go over the whole van with G3 and a proper mop for £25, claiming it will be as good as new once he's done with it!

He bought a very faded porsche 944 S2 that was more pink than red and it now looks like new again. Might be worth looking into. I did T cut mine and it did help but still not perfect and if you dont have patience then dont start! as it turns out T4's have more surface area than the moon! Thats a day of my life I want back!

G3 and an electric buffer, bought my white bus up a treat

I second the G3 but i have used water and G3 before and just gave it a hard wash with it.

G3 and a mop. I have one you can barrow and loads of G3. Im in southampton if that helps.
