[maxamus]

Thanks for your comments guys. I'll probably give the alloys another clean tomorrow as i like them to look good everyday and they dont take long to do 
I've just been out in it tonoght and i have to say the shine in the night is just awesome!
I used R222 Bodywork Cleansing Polish and R222 Carnauba Wax.

Took me 3hrs cleaning, polishing and waxing it yesterday and around an hour and a half this morning washing and toping up the wax. Cleaned the inside too
Atleast now i wount need to polish and wax it for another 2/3 months!

Yes manu, i have the RNS510

lol ! morning !

Is that it? I was under the impression waxing in the sunshiiiiiiiine was a bit of a no no, but thought sod it. Just gotta motivate myself to make breakie, slap on the sun lotion and get going with her.

if you're not quick enough the polish will dry and harden and you'll be left with unsightly marks!! its a definite no no!!

Dont happen to have a pop up gazeebo do you?? lol

I do, but that needs to be used in the garden for the barby and there is no way I am letting my neighbours think I'm a complete anorak cleaning my car under one of them

Guess its just a clean then today (secretly a little please as its way too hot out there today to be doing LOTS of work)

alan, get some autoglym aqua wax stuff in a spray bottle, goes on and comes off a peice of cake regardless of temperature.Using a micrfibre cloth that comes with it. Will take about 45 mins tops. Just watch the drips of sweat from your nose whilst polishing!!!.

Oh and pics when you done of your sun burn

was gonna do mine again this weekend but its too hot. never wash/polish a car in direct sunlight, not a good idea.

shampoo dries and leaves water/soapy marks. polish drys too quick and does do its chemical reaction as well, then makes it harder to get off.. so ill be waiting to later on around 4pm

Still love the look of a nice clean set of Monza II's - a great choice for the GTI by VW (shame about the worming issues)
