Yep - no access to hose where I was to rinse so use ONR sometimes. Impressed with it. Car was only had a light layer of dirt after doing 100 miles from Sunday.

Loads of info on detailing world about it.

Will have to have a look. Could be handy in the winter/rainy days.

In winter or if the car is particularly dirty I would advise a quick trip to the local jet wash (or pressure wash at home) just to blast off any big bits of crud and remove as much as possible to avoid any possible damage.

I put my private plates on the GTi this morning. It doesn't look like just any GTi now, it's MINE!!!! ALL MINE!!!!! :laugh: :laugh:
Although, I was a bit naffed off to see the rear number plate had scuffed off quite a bit of paint underneath the lower edge, revealing white under the paint. It's not visible under the new plates. But I wish it was perfect under there.

Yikes, get it repainted from dealership. Mine was fine when I took the original plates off  :smiley:

Thanks 2014GTi :smiley:, but TBH it would take time & energy up, and I'm not keen on it being messed with when it's hidden anyway. It's not going to corrode, or get worse… so I'm going to leave it. I don't like that it's there, but I don't feel it's worth the hassle. :smiley:
