Well the squeak wasn't the ARB...  :sad1: No idea where its coming from.

Tyres are gripping well now, they are superb in these damp conditions.  :driver:

Stop gap until I can be bothered to get a OEM GTI badge from the dealers.

The Gtechniq seems to be working fine. A quick blast with the jet wash and a rub with a MF wash mitt and they are as good as new.  :happy2:

I had some of that though used the G3 kit. Very easy to use too much of the polish. Doing the windscreen was a pig but if you manage two layers then excellent. Worthwhile on the side windows but found it useless on the rear windows.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Sounds good. TBH rain X lasts well on the side windows, but on the front it doesn't last 2 seconds.

I have put it on the rear and its a waste to be honest mike, the window still gets dirty due to the flat back.
