Sweet... they look the mutts nuts!
A clean black car looks amazing - if you can keep it that way!

Blimey - 17 replies!! Ok, thanks all for the compliments- they are replica RS4's, paid £65ea for them. Had to keep them 18s as i could not justify getting 19s which meant getting tyres as i am off on travels again soon and will be changing the car near christmas time for another one.
The paint is just polished with Zymol, so it now smells like a coconut!! It does come up well, but by the time you have driven it a mile, its really dusty.
Anyway, cheers again.
Oh, and yes it DSG

Many thanks for the compliments - I spent a while searching for alternative wheels and when i saw the Audis with them on, they looked awesome. They go with the car i think! I too could not picture them on the car, so i did some picture editing and thought sod it!
It would look nicer with 19s but the car would definately have to be lowered and that i am not doing with this one. Still, once me and a passenger are sat in it, it lowers it a bit!!

As usual micalee, truely excellent photos.
Dont you just wish you got the rest of the car to go with those rims, though ?? :wink: :wink: :wink: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I would wax my car and iv been waiting a good while since iv got my car to give it a good clean but Gibs sh!t! They do not sell ANY descent cleaning products such as Meguiares, Zymol or even Auto Glym! Iv been waiting for a while to get my credit card so as soon as i do, i will order a bunch of cleaning stuff from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk lol, another problem is i am not sure which products to buy if any one could help and what process to go through to clean the car, iv seen so much around its just confusing me :sad:

Take a look here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=57775.0
I ended up spending a fortune but it was well worth it!
I've got the following:
Meguiars Hot Rims Wheel Cleaner
Meguiars Supreme Shine Microfibre Polish Cloth (pack of 3)
Meguiars Even Coat Applicator Pads (pack of 2)
Meguiars Lambs Wool Wash Mitt x2
Meguiars Grit Guard & Bucket Kit
Meguiars NXT Generation Glass Cleaner (710ml)
Meguiars Hot Shine Tyre Spray (Trigger 710ml)
Meguiars Natural Shine Protectant
P21S Concours Look Carnauba Wax
P21S Super-Absorbing Drying Towel With Case
P21S Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo (500ml)
P21S Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser
Zymol Auto Wash (473ml)
Zymol Wheel Brush
They'll last me atleast 6 months. Total spend was around £170
I got all the stuff from: http://www.vertar.com/
P21S stuff is really good, esp the Paintwork Cleanser. Really does smooth the bodywork out with a silk finish for the wax to go on!

well i use the following:
Poorboys Super Slick n Suds
Meguiars Lambswool wash mitt x 2; one for the top half and the other for below the bump strips
every 6 months or so i use Megs Quik Detailer and the clay bar to remove tree sap etc
Followed by a Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Sealed with Autoglym Extra Gloss protection
Then topped up with Clearkote Vanilla Moose Wax
I'm going to be purchasing Collinite 915 wax soon as its supposedly very durable and gives a great shine on darker cars.
For the wheels i use Megs Hot Wheels every other week for stubborn brake dust otherwise i juse just the Poorboys. Every couple of months I take the wheels off and seal with the wax
After every other wash i add a layer of wax. Don't use polish as this strips the protective wax coating. You only need to polish every 3 months or so and then use wax to keep the shine topped up.
At the end of the day it all depends what you want to achieve. If you look at Detailing World you'll see the extreme lengths people go to.
Personally I want as good as finish as possible with minimum effort :cool:
