Did exactly the same yesterday. 3 weeks now without a wash  :whistle:  Was hoping to get another layer of wax on it.  Still, the nonstop rain has at least washed away all the crusted on mud, so not all bad  :grin:

Tomorrow's looking better so there's a bit of hope. I tell a lie really, I did go out to the car for a bit. Took off the front grill to have a look behind and confirm my suspicions that one of the clips on my gti badge is broken (it likes to rotate about 20 degrees). Suspect it'll be horrendous money if I ask VW how much one is considering they're going for £30 plus shipping on the bay. Added to list of jobs to do!

Yeah I've just the pics on your other thread.  Not your average stone chip, that's some big crack  :shocked:
Lucky it stayed intact.  I've been in the front of a car when the whole windscreen went and it was not a pleasant experience!
