I have a choice to make chaps and I'm not sure which way to go............. My new bus will be ready in a few weeks and at the moment I have the option of keeping it on our drive (safely behind gates and within our curtilage) or it could live in our single garage. The thing is our garage is...

Turkish anyone in particular you can recommend mate? ATB J

Thanks mate I had not heard of Dinitrol, I've read about Bilt & Hamber S50 though. Are these products now considered to be a modern 'upgrade' to the Waxoyl? ATB :)

First job I'm looking to do to my 1971 bus when I collect it is give it a good waxoyl. I've been looking on the web for a video or picture guide to doing this but can't find a specific bus guide for this procedure. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Sorry posted this from my phone and the bloody thing did it twice.

Thanks again for your input on this one mate - very helpful. :)

Thanks mate. :)

Thanks for that Prof - very interesting. Are you saying you prefer Farecla to the Gtechniq range? The Dodo is good for the initial prep though yes?

Oh I forgot to ask, which products from the Gtechniq have you found to be the best? Did you also use their pads? ATB :)

Thanks mate, thats brilliant I couldn't have asked for a better reply! I will check out the products you mention - Dodo etc. Thanks again - really helpful. ATB J. :)

I have a 'new' 71 Deluxe with orginal paint and sun bleaching and I want to buff it up and get the best finish that I can. I've heard that some of the more mainstream products can be a bit harsh on old paint work, so can anyone offer some advice and maybe some products that will suit this...

Thanks guys I will take a look.

Thanks mate I will get it ordered along with the other one that you have. I will pick up the other two in my list at a later date. ATB :)

Thanks for your input chaps. When you say Bentley manual for Type 2 do you mean this book? (My bus is a 1971 left hooker) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Volkswagen-Station-Official-Service-Manual/dp/0837616352/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281613536&sr=1-2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

Hi, My bus - 1971 Deluxe will be ready for me in about two months and I am wanting to maintain it (as much as possible) myself. The body and chassis appear very sound and there are no rust issues, so I am mainly interested in keeping the 'rest of it' (technical term there :roll: ) going and...

Thats the thing Juss - they all look the same in the parts books to me so I've no idea if xxx Nose Badge is better than yyy Nose Badge. We are going to Beach Buggin' next Sunday for a mooch about. :)

I'm new to this VW game and wonder if there is 'one' supplier that does the best quality bits and bobs for a bus? At the moment I'm looking for a Nose Badge for a 71 Deluxe Microbus, I've seen different shops selling what looks to me to be the 'same' thing but at different prices. Personally I...

Yep Elm Green and White Deluxe (pictures are on here somewhere :D ) We visited Graham at Midland Early Bay yesterday and I can certainly recommend the place (and Graham) to anyone looking for an honest bus and honest advice. Thanks again mate. :)

Thanks for all the replies chaps. We settled on a 1971 Tin Top today :)

Thanks guys very helpful comments. I prefer tin tops but my wife likes pop tops - we are looking at one of each on Friday. :lol:
