First wash of the new year
« on: 20 February 2010, 17:01 »
After spending the winter caked in mud I finally got to wash the car today  :cool: Nothing fancier than water, shampoo and cheapo wax since I can't justify spending any more on cleaning products, but it turned out alright. What do you guys think?

A tyre shine product would make a world of difference!

There's a little swirling on the front :cry: When I can spare it I'll be doing a full clay bar, polish, etc, but I can't for a while  :lipsrsealed:
Tyre shine sounds like a good idea. I'll definitely look into it!

I have an ABT one but it didn't look right without sideskirts so it's off again. I have the rest of the ABT kit too, I got it about a year and a half ago, but after seeing it in the flesh I didn't like it  :sad:
I WILL be getting a GTI front bumper conversion though, and will be replacing the honeycomb grills with Jetta grills :cool:
