Did a job on the wheels today. Cleaned up and sealed. Pain in the ass to do but glad it's done. Car is due a wash now though, it's a bit grubby :)

That’s some waiting time. Held up due to emission reg issues ? Seems to be happening to a lot of stuff.

I used Car Pro Hydro2 silica sealant on it about a month back and even that has given up with the some of the roads I'm driving on.

Still haven't washed mine in 4 weeks either. It's very similar to yours dirt-wise Gustavo! Taking the day off tomorrow to wash it

4 weeks?! Shocking! :pac:

I haven't washed mine in over 2 months. Oddly enough it doesn't look too bad, but it helps that it's dark grey to start with and that it's mostly dark outside! :P

This topic can soon turn into car washers anonymous. "Hi my name is Dar and my last car wash was over 9 weeks ago..."

I managed to wash mine a week or two ago but you wouldn't think it.

Shocking for me given that I used wash it every week or at the most every two weeks regardless of the weather!

Finally got a chance to give the car a quick wash yesterday. Nice to have a black car again.

Lovely VRS, that's the first facelift i've seen that looks well.

Roads are a joke at the minute. Washed mine on Friday for a mate's wedding and it was filthy by the time we got to the church. Almost pointless washing in this weather.

That’s the best looking VRS around. I’ll probably be shot for saying this but those wheels do not suit it one bit.

Was never a fan of them myself. Hate the piano black look they have when clean. I was nearly going to ask if a could swap the wheels from my Superb when I traded it in.:D
