Detailing / Re: Skinny wheel brush recommendations?
« Last post by candywhite12 on 30 March 2026, 21:11 »
been using this with the 19'' estorils, quite happy with it, fits in said gap just fine.  Last I bought kind of loosened up after a couple months, got a new one for free so no complaints there. I like the texture, real smooth compared to other brands.

Detailing / Skinny wheel brush recommendations?
« Last post by Exonian on 30 March 2026, 18:21 »
Owing to the imminent demise of my geriatric wheel woolie - are there any recommendations of a thin wheel brush that’ll fit through the very small gap between mk8 calliper and wheel barrel?
After using wool for many years I’d like to give microfibre a try as I have a thick Meguiars brush that does a really good job but won’t fit in the calliper/barrel gap.

Late to the party here but as a reformed serial modder who used to swap the suspension out as soon as possible for decades of my life - it’s good to read such a positive review of suspension mods mentioning ride improvement. Unfortunately this was never my experience! Thank goodness for progress.
Really pleased for you Will, lovely little review and the car looks fantastic as always  :smiley:

Golf mk7 / Re: Mk7 was disappointing - should I buy a mk7.5 or even an 8?

For what it's worth (and to offset the bias :wink:) I've had a similar experience with mine, a few things stop me really enjoying the car;

- notchy manual gearbox, notably 2nd & 3rd). Gets better as it warms up but still not great. Have considered replacing clutch but haven't committed yet as not entirely sure it's the issue.
- Creaky driver's seat & rattling belt clip / buckle.

..and two things that are probably more my fault than anything:

- squeaky and now slightly warped brakes after replacing all round with brembo. Should have gone OEM.
- sawtoothed rear tyres. Should have had alignment checked more frequently!

Mine is blue too, maybe that's the problem.
