@willni, very nice looking car. Are those belvederes 18s?
I tend to give my cars very frequent blasts with the pressure hose during the winter months- sometimes just a 10 minute blast on coming home from work.
Can’t stand the salt on the cars.
Managed to give both GTIs a proper wash this week.
Now I won’t want to drive them.
Yes they're 18's the belvedere's do strangely look bigger than 18in.
I know of one other person that does that, there's no downside to it other than water spotting, but you can always sort that with a DI vessel if you were very fussy.
They get dirty even when they sit still, might as well enjoy them when they're clean!
The car sits perfectly on those 18s, not sure if it’s the style of wheel, or because it’s 3dr, or perhaps the way you’ve taken the pic!
My golf is standard, there’s only two things I may consider doing at some point- first, a stage 1- which I almost certainly will do at some point ( but don’t particularly feel the need for now- not getting the open roads often enough to consider it worthwhile!). Second, possibly a lighter set of alloys- though I quite like a standard looking car.
Belvederes would be top of my list if I was to change.
The regular jet wash is more about preservation than aesthetics- I pretty much accept that the car will rarely looks its best in the worst winter weather.
