Tutorial #3: Polish!
The key stage for a shiny and perfectly protected vehicle.
Polish
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply the product to the bodywork with a microfiber in circular movements. Do small areas at a time (doors, wing mirrors, half bonnet, etc.). Leave to dry for a while and dry with a clean microfiber.
Our advice:
Do this in the shade and on a clean and dry bodywork. Do not use this product on porous or unpainted plastic. If there are white marks on the plastic, clean the surface with the GS27 Classics® Plastic Cleaner.

Tutorial #2: Repairing
Repairing 101
A good service always starts with a complete clean of the vehicle.
Scratch removal
GS27 Scratch remover:
Put a dab of the product on a microfiber cloth.
Rub with more or less intensity depending on the size of the scratch.
Start again until you obtain the desired result.
Headlamp Restorer & Scratch Remover Kit:
1/ Insert the adapter stem into the drill chuck.
2/ Fix the foam pad to the adapter.
3/ Apply a small heap of Dual-purpose Restorer GS27® Technics on the scratch.
4/ With the drill stopped, spread the product on the surface with the foam pad.
5/ Start the drill. Proceed in large circular figure of 8 movements.
Do not apply pressure to the bodywork.
Check regularly that the bodywork is not heating up. If the bodywork heats up, stop immediately. This operation should not exceed 30 seconds.
If your drill has several speeds, start with the slowest and increase the speed progressively but do not exceed 1600 rpm.
6/ Wipe off excess with the microfiber.
7/ Repeat the operation if necessary.
8/ For the best possible result, we recommend applying the High Protection Polish Titanium+® GS27 Classics® afterwards to protect the area treated.
Our advice:
Do this on a clean and dry bodywork.
Identify the type of scratch before application. In most cases this product will react effectively. However, if the scratch is deep (peeling paint, visible metal sheet or priming coat), consider a bodywork repair.
To improve the protection of your bodywork after repair, we advise you to polish the vehicle with a GS27® polish.
Bodywork repair
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply the product with a microfiber cloth in small circular movements (doors, wing mirrors, half bonnet, etc.). Dry immediately with a clean microfiber to obtain the shine. Start again depending on the state of oxidisation until you obtain the desired result.
Our advice:
Do this in the shade and on a clean and dry bodywork. Do not use this product on porous or unpainted plastic. If there are white marks on the plastic, clean the surface with the GS27 Classics® Plastic Cleaner. To improve the protection and shine of your bodywork after repair, we advise you to polish the vehicle with a GS27® polish.

1/ Carefully protect the bodywork round the headlamp with masking tape.
2/ Insert the adapter stem into the drill chuck.
3/ Fix a sanding disc on the adapter.
4/ Wet the headlamp with a sponge and then dampen the surface of the abrasive.
There should always be water on the headlamp. Add water during sanding if necessary.
5/ Start the drill and sand the headlamp. Proceed in large circular figure of 8 movements.

Tutorial #1: Washing
Washing 101
A good service always starts with a complete clean of the vehicle.
Shampoos
Diluting shampoo:
Remove the most significant dirty marks using a high pressure cleaner (mud, dust, leaves, etc.). Dilute GS27 Titanium Shampoo in warm water. Clean the bodywork with a sponge from top (roof) to bottom (bottom of the body and wheel arch). Rinse thoroughly in clean water.
Waterless washing:
On cold bodywork, spray the product directly on the dirty surfaces. Dry immediately with a microfiber cloth. Do small areas at a time.
Our advice:
It is preferable to wash your vehicle in the shade and away from the wind. Avoid leaving your car to dry in bright sunshine, this risks leaving marks (especially if the water contains lime scale). If possible, dry the bodywork with a leather cloth for a shiny finish without marks.
Wheel Cleaner
Spray the GS27 Titanium Wheel Cleaner or the GS27 Wheel Cleaner Acid Free directly on the wheel. Leave it to work for a few seconds. Rinse in water, preferably with a high-pressure cleaner or dry the wheel with a microfiber for waterless cleaning products. If the wheels are very dirty, repeat if necessary.
Our advice:
Clean the wheels one by one. If the wheels are particularly dirty you can clean them using a brush.
Specific Washing
In some cases, you need to have specific products to remove certain stains that are particularly stubborn, like resin or tar stains. Spray the product directly on the stain. Leave it to work for a few seconds and rub with a microfiber cloth. Check the label for more information on the use of each product.
Our advice:
Remove the stains one by one. We advise you to clean the entire vehicle to avoid “cleaning stains”. Do not wait to clean stains: the older they are the more ingrained they become and are thus difficult to remove.
