Probably comes across as a cute little teacher's car when you drive it to work. Little do they know it's running a GIAC tune (with more to come) and would blow the doors off anything within a 25klm radius lol.

clean and waxed my car on sunday night.... rained first thing monday morning as i pulled out of the garage... stopped raining as soon as I hit the work car park... happens every time

Mine never looks as shiny as yours... I think I got the special edition black dirt colour or maybe its just regular Black Magic but the magic part is how much filth it attracts.

[MissVuks]

what products do you use whubbsie?

[Whubbsie]

Meguiars but it's probably because I only used Quick Wax.... I'm lazy and it rains too much in melbourne

[MissVuks]

Im using meguiars too, i used the ultimate quik detailer.. not sure if its any good but it does make it shiny...

After the detailing clinic im looking at upgrading some of my cleaning products..

i'm probably just a detailing hack.. going to wait the heat wave to kick in then I'll probably get a pro to do my car... and then hope that it will stay nice and shiny for more than 15minutes

looks very nice mate!

whats every1's thoughts on getting the whole bonnet black instead of a strip like the one above?

what if I have a black car?? Do i put silver stripes just on the side?

I was think getting the bonnet satin/flat black along with the grill parts that are black on the other colour cars and then getting the pinstrip

I used the armor all wash n was (blue liquid), it gives you a more shiny finish when compared to meguiars (i used meguiars before, the golden colour one, i called it apple juice...), btw, my car is black...

Just drop the car to the dealer this morning for the gear box crunch + door problem, hopefully it can be fixed...

The service guy told me if they found fault with the gear box, it will be an overhaul... no replacement mentioned...

My experience also.

What do you guys use to wipe/protect the dash?

[GTI_jim]

microfibre cloth for dust, then cloth with some good ol' H2O.
protection wise, when i get it detailed they put on a low-sheen protectant, i dont like slipping off the steering wheels whilst cornering...

Well I took my Polo in to the dealer to get the suspension knocking fixed under warranty. The replaced the right swaybar control link (?) because the ball joint was loose. Then they test drove it again and found the left was making the same noise.

Of course they only ordered the parts for the right hand side, so it's back we go again after they get the bits for the left

I mentioned to the service desk guy that the could at least have the parts on hand for something that is obviously likely to affect both sides, because it's now another day of running around for me to get it sorted. I don't think he really gave a toss
