eventually a sunny clear no wind day to give it a clean!  shame the water frooze during cleaning  :grin:

Have to sacrifice my car cleaning session this weekend for xmas tree buying/decorating instead - kid pressure is hard to ignore!  It'll have to be filthy for yet another week  :cry:

I had to  it was disgusting the color mine had changed after 1 week!

Now I'm jealous, looks excellent Chris :cool:

Sadly mine looks exactly like your top pic  :sad:  Not sure I can stand it like that much longer,  might have to get up at the crack of dawn to sort it out.

Another 2!!  You'll be alright if there's a sudden pre xmas rush on them  :tongue:

Thought the general consensus was that the forum sticker looks best sited in the rear passenger window (driver's side), along the bottom edge, or maybe I just dreamed that  :huh:

I haven't even got one.

Wow what a transformation! You certainly cannot beat the look of a freshly cleaned black Mk6  :cool: Shame they don't look like that for long! Wish mine had the L.E.D's they make such a difference to the look.

Cleaned it!  All those pics of lovely clean cars got to me  :embarrassed:

Bit of an early morning rushed job and had to jet wash a thick layer of frost off first but at least I can see out of the windows now.  The inside is still rank though  :grin:
