auto glym discoloured the soft top roof

just to make all of you aware if you have a classic car or a new car the potential problem that can occur from using "Auto Glym" vinyl and rubber care . i used it on a mk1 golf cabriolet and it turned the white roof pink!! sent emails to the company and basically got told the car is too old and i should not of used it, no mention on the bottle of "Do not use on old cars".

area not used on












the ruined roof













Good Morning Stefan,

Thank you for supplying the requested information, my colleague has passed on your enquiry and we have now had time to view these images.

Firstly I would like to highlight that Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care is a water based, silicone emulsion which has been used successfully in the market place as one of our more popular lines for many  years now. It will provide a transparent coating which will only improve the appearance of clean vinyl and plastic surfaces. 

It contains no solvents, or aggressive components which will change the colour of vinyl surfaces. 

Autoglym log and record all correspondence regarding our range and any complaints are investigated appropriately.  In this case, taking into account the age of the roof, our knowledge of the product and its capability, we are confident that Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care has not been responsible for the appearance of your roof.  As you are aware, the Mk1 Golf ceased manufacture many years ago, and being the original roof, the appearance shows it to have suffered a degree of deterioration from ageing.


Considering the age and appearance of your hood, we would advise you to seek specialist renovation expertise and regret that we do not carry this type of product within our range.

New to the company is "The Perfect Fit" just as the name suggests the new team member is able to turn your dreams into reality (calm down) if its to be made out of wood. From fantasy to reality Nigel has built kitchens to elaborate childrens pirate ships and pub swings to medieval cottages scaled down for the children. If thats all a bit much for a sunday afternoon then what about a new door, window or a secret floor?
For full details go to the brochure on the homepage The perfect fit and see some of the work and letters of recommendation.

thanks you from us at s1 builders norfolk

Congratulations to all of you that reached 2012 through the last year of hardship, unfortunately its not all over yet and tougher times are said to come yet.Woe and yet more woe? Lets all half fill our glasses and raise them at the coming year with a smile together as united we can all pull through this difficult time. How and why? Well we all need a hand to hold every now and then and if you dont have a hand to squeeze when it feels like all is lost then come and read the dribble thats mostly written on here. Positive thought evokes positive attitudes which in turn create positive happenings! Its true! when its good its good and when its bad its bad! why? because everyone loves to be happy (apart from the odd miserable git, who we are not interested in , well unless its the partner then its time for you to get a new one) so focus on the good things in life and there are plenty. Yes its tough with prices as they are but as a country we have pulled through wars and landed out the other side OK. So cut your cloth to the size that fits your table and keep to it. Smile more! laugh lots! love more (thats not an excuse to go out and sleep about) and if you cannot say anything nice then keep quiet.
We all have our problems some worse than others but we truly wish you all the best for the coming months.
Here is just a "Thank you " to all of you out there for supporting us and we will be around for some time to come yet.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
