Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Aquawax!

    Tried some Duragloss Aquawax today because my wax was getting a bit low. Didn't take long after I cleaned the car, about 15 mins to apply and then a very quick buff off a little while later - easy enough to do inside the door jams as well!







    Cheers.

    Looks pretty clean.

    How does it compare to say Optimum Car Wax (OCW) or other quick detailers?

      Well I haven't used a quick detailer until now, so I will report back after using another one. For a 15 minute in-and-out application I was pretty happy with it; I use dodo juice wax so that takes about 25 mins outside only. It improved the level of depth and shine, as well as beading the water really, really well again

        Good stuff, i'm going to try and do a quick wax/detailer after each wash as it only adds 10-15mins and gives you an extra level of protection (and is nice and smooth to the touch).

          I just want to say Montreal II rims are my favourite VW GTI rim. Thank you for your time.

          *oh, and that is some shiny car!*

                  Saw this at my place before the wax and I thought it was already shiny and slippery! And yeah, I reckon the Montreal II's look way better...!

                      Haha, nooo!! I've decided I'm going to just paint my wheels up asap and get them on (cbf polishing spoke faces). If I can be bothered refurbishing the Montreal II's I'll keep them, but if not I'll just sell them on to the next dubber

                      Thanks bud applied by hand. I got a little tester bottle to try out so I used a nice microfibre cloth to apply with soft pressure, applying sparingly as you really don't need much. Then I let it sit for about 20 minutes and buffed off with a *really* nice microfibre cloth lol. Can't remember whether it's meant to haze or not, or whether it needs buffing off at all but hey..whatever
