And the money shot...

I think it looks terrible. You should sell it to me before the neighbors see it and make fun of you.

ps. What did you use so I don't do it to mine?

 

Fantastic. I wish mine was that shiny. Are those 18s she's rollin' on?

I looked at the third picture and thought, "that's a lot of snow tires", then I noticed the Alberta plates and it all made sense. I hope you drive it in the winter. Its the Canadian thing to do!

 

WOW! Congratulations. That is one of the nicest polishes I've ever seen.

Too bad the lowly Beemer is in the background.

 

WOW... Shiney! Nice job.
What Exhaust tip is that and where did you get it?

 

Thanks man!! The "lowly beemer" in the background however is a 2005 Jetta GLI!!! Thats a nice compliment to the "lowly" Veedub though!!!

 

HA! The angle makes it look like a 325i. Go VEEDUB!

Superb polish on your pcar. Any advice for the masses? How'd you do it?

 

Waaaay too much spare time :>)

How do you get the "Carrera" so clean? I always have wax and gunk in the gaps that's impossible to get rid of...

 

I opened my wallet and paid a professional to polish the car. It was pretty easy actually!!!!

 

now that is cheating

looks fantastic regardless.

 

those wheels look fantastic on the black car!

 

Hi guys-
That is a nice job.
The curse & the pleasure of you Blackies: You are the best to respond to such shining -- and the quickest to retire from it.

Instructions for doing this yourself are over among the Concourse & Car Care section. Everything I know I picked up there and from KV.

To do it the easiest way means investing in a proper random orbital, foam pads, polish/sealant cream (like you see in Griot's).

Initial steps are:

• wash
• clay
• machine-polish/seal
• wax

Thereafter, for the next 6 months, or so:

• wash
• clay
• wax

Claying turns out to be uber-important for everything else to work, and -- here's the perversely nice part -- it's uber-easy & relatively quick.

 

That looks incredible. Great wheels too 18" BBS LM's ?

 

Actually they are work Brombachers!

 

Wow.......That looks fantastic.......The black paint is like a mirror...The wheels compliement it perfectly.
