Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Finally. Some cloud that allowed me to finished DAing.
Mirror shot: :cool:
I also washed a tree of sap off my girlfriends car. The noise was horrible. Noticed alot of fall out on her car months ago, little bits of black specs in the yellow paint. Gave her car a coat of Iron-X and it turned from yellow to purple! Got about 90% of the black specced fallout off. Very impressed as alway with Iron-X.
She has been told not to park under any trees from now on. 0 -
@Black Knight, I'm not the biggest fan of VW's, but that is simply stunning...:eek: :cool::D
However must update my large post on the previous page with pics as requested by Curran!
Before the wash the car looked like this, caked in dirt and dust from the last weeks heavy driving
After the first wash.....
Midway through polishing stage...
Quick exhaust clean up....12 years old, 93k miles and the original exhaust too! :eek::D
Finally a coat of wax and she's a good 'un...

Im not a massive VW fan myself, only the CC (though not the newer models) and the scriocco tickle my fancy. Golfs, polos, passats, tiguan, fox, up, tourag are all a bit meh. The new beetle is actually kinda nice, for a beetle. Hitler would be proud. :pac:
Some job on that 156. What did you use on the exhaust? As you can see, I didnt really touch mine.

I'd be the same, scirocco is the only VW that I'd considered... still drool a little when I see a nice one
Bit of autosol metal polish on the exhaust will do wonders. Use steel wool + autosol if its really bad. Even halfrauds stock it 0 -

Was having serious thoughts about moving her on this week. Run out of things that I can afford to with her and just really liked the idea of something new. Went for a spin on Thursday morning to clear the head and was reminded of why I love the car so much. Sure, it's not the fastest thing in the world but by Christ can it carry speed and stop. Brought it to CleanCar afterwards for a wash and dry, and then gave it a coat of Kleers Finishing Wax.
Photos are a bit noisy as they were taken on the phone when it was getting dark, but yeah, I'm smitten again. Just waiting for some rain to see the beading 0 -
So I was in a similar situation as CM, 166man offered to clean my car so I made sure he had his work cut out for him :P
So I took it to 166mans and by the time we were done it was dark so there was no time for pics so, the day after I took a few
And the result
Please note the reflection of the trailer :pac:
The exhaust was black so with a bit of effort and a wire brush
Good as new
I'll let him fill in what he used so on and so forth0 -
