What did you do to your Polo today?

[Evaded Motorsport]

Door cards out, started pulling the crap out of the engine bay I don't need. Almost ready for cage.

Sick so CBF doing anymore today. Ordered the Polycarb for the windows. Not much left to do, Must find motivation.

Congrats to jasonc23 for getting into the 1:45's at Winton

How the hell did you do that.

I think even with my mods it would be hard to get a 1.45

Do you get much wheel spin coming out of the corners, the one 3/4 of the way around which is quite tight coming on the the back straight

Kinda depressing when I'm still way back at 1:51.0 (my tyre blew before I could improve on my previous best)

hey greg that still sounds like a pretty good time, considering the lack of top end our cars have!

Other than throwing a quick coat of Dodo Juice Supernatural over the Polo..

It seems the Polo will be up for sale soon guys!

Wow nice wax, how do you find it. I just ordered some P21S, the one with 100% Carnauba

what for?

doesnt your car still have some leftover from the 7 layers of aerospace-grade sealant, THEN the 9 layers of wax that you put on it for dubstitute?

Haha, im still not happy with the paint work, I guess that is the thing with detailing, you can always improve on it .

I have never given it a proper correction, which is what it needs to get rid of the swirls, Yes there are swirls in my paint lol.

Would like to try the Wolfs Body Wrap too

Brake later, corner harder and power on earlier = 1:45

I do get a bit of wheelspin coming out of the tight corners but it's manageable - I either try to feed the power in or get the car pointed straight until I hammer it. You can also short shift to 3rd coming out of the corners and ride the wave of torque.

Hopefully break into 1:44s after I add a bit more bracing and wider tyres...but this won't be anytime soon

Congrats on the time Jason

Phenomenal wax to be honest. In comparison to the P21S its much much nicer! And its not 100% FYI, unsure why they call it that. The grade or volume of carnauba is not that high and physically not possible anyhow. Awesome wax never the less just unsure why they call it 100%!

I have a few waxes, Dodo Juice Supernatural, Dodo Juice Bouncers 22 Limited Edition, Rubbish Boys, Home Brew Dodo Juice (made myself lol), Concorso, Mirage, Onyx, P21S, DJ PH, DJ PHP, Orange Crush, Rainforest Rub, Collinite, Naviwax.. I'll stop there! Thats just waxes, not sealants or glass or nano coatings! haha. LOL (will sell some soon i think!)

If you have a RO already grab some FG500 or PF2500 as the vag paint is hardcore.

Will hit Lora's this weekend lightly with the Rotex or DAS6Pro probably as its time to be redone and redo it all again properly (yes bit of a waste i know oh well!)


Regarding Body Wrap, we've done a few cars now with it.. awesome stuff. I wont use it as ill get bored if i had it on my own car i think. But you use very minimal per car.

[jasn78]

Ecs order arrived today New DV and FMIC hose sweet

I really got to start a build thread might do after detail this weekend lol

btw Evaded now I am jealous pics now of that fitted

I have a Das6. Last time i used a sealant i used Jetseal, not really that impressed with it. Might grab myself some PF2500

You will need something hard as the paints are very hard on VAG dude. If PF2500 doesnt cut it you will need FG500 to do the job! But definitely finish with 85rd or sf4000 if you already have either or.

Jetseal is ok, but nothing flash! You would be happy with Bodywrap vs Jetseal. Depends how involved you wanna be, wax, or sealant
