15ml of Gtecnig c4, I done all the black on my disco including the part under the windscreen, no fade, or anything coming back as yet. Well pleased with 3 months on. Wash car and no need to apply for months well worth the money

I used the autoglym bumper gel this weekend and it has made my car look like new. What fantastic stuff. So easy to use. Just wipe the gel on and that's it. All look like brand new. I recommend it to anyone Landrover Discovery 3 TDV6 S 7 seat Automatic

WD40 sprayed on a cloth and gently rubbed over CLEAN body work will take away small scratches and marks, it works best on light coloured cars. This works great when you are selling your car 
Also use it to remove tree sap and bird crap before the acidity marks your paint work. Disco 3 HSE

WD-40 Uses:
1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4. Gives floor that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps the flies off of Cows, Horses, and other Farm Critters, as well. (Ya gotta love this one!!!)
6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.

16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on both home and vehicles doors.
18. It removes that nasty tar and scuff marks from the kitchen flooring.
It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off.
Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19. Remove those nasty Bug guts that will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21. Lubricates gearshift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers...
22. Rids kids rocking chair and swings of squeaky noises.

29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.
30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31. Removes grease splatters from stove-tops.
32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35. Removes all traces of duct tape.
36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37. Florida's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.'
38. The favorite use in the state of New York, it protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose.
Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41. It is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray it on the marks and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you spray it inside a wet distributor cap, it will displace the moisture, allowing the engine to start. Disco 3 HSE

Auto Auto glym rubber and vinyl care is good stuff and gets off any stray polish that gets on the wheelarches. Yes every now and then I give mine a treat. I've found that GT85 is better than WD 40 as it doesn't leave that sticky residue. Only problem with it is it smells like fly spray, but it does go off after a while and I don't get a lot of flies on the wheel arches either
