I quite like them, I think the Monzas make a better OEM wheel though.

i'm busy getting mine up to my standards just now, it takes me roughly 2 hours per panel then once that's finished it'll be on to the arches/shuts/engine bay/wheels

[KennyPOLO_Gti]

Good man loud. Any pics of ur car yet???

[more-bhp]

I never go a car wash... I have a bucket and sponge..

I Autoglym'd it a few weeks back and that red paintwork was so shiny..

Now its covered in dead flies and all sorts again

[KennyPOLO_Gti]

Dead flies are a nightmare the now!! Poor little buggers lol

I soak the car then spray some Fast Glass on leave it for a few mins before washin it. They wipe off so easily.

speak to Jeff GTI! LOL.

I do about 350-400 miles a week, so I clean it one day and it's a mess in 2 days! I hate the fact that the silver car can look OK on the outside but there's so much muck on the windows in about 1 hour of driving.

I'm careful with washing - I use a woolen mitt and make sure I wash it out after each panel or two of cleaning. I'm sure there are still swirl marks though - with washing the car often it's going to be hard to avoid.

[loud]

if you really want to cut down on swirls you need a wool wash mitt, which you have and use the two bucket method with grit guards

also jet wash off all s**t first and if possible use either a foam gun or lance to break down most of the dirt before washing with the mitt

I also have a couple of microfibre mitts for doing the likes of the wheels/arches/exhaust and generally any dirty unpainted bits

I also have a sonus microfibre drying towel in place of the traditional scratchy chamois

[david burton]

I don't get on with the synthetic towels - nothing I use compares to the power of the chamois!
