Re: Alex's Polo 6n2
Can never have to many.....or can you aha
Latest addition to the detailing collection is some chemical guys butter wet wax hopefully on top of the black hole it will give it an even deeper wet look
although it will require to be topped up every few washes 
Next on my list to try is chemical guys Clay Block and Luber as it seems to have a few plus points over normal clay bar and the reviews on detailing world seem quite good

Re: Alex's Polo 6n2
Hi mate, Your car is looking sweet. Ill be interested on what you have planned for your ICE install. I have one 12'' diamond audio sub and two 4 channel phoenix gold amps with diamond components up front with most of the car sound proofed.
How much did you pay for the G60's? Im thinking of getting some for myself.

Re: Alex's Polo 6n2
Hello Alex,
Car is looking really good. Would you mind telling me where you got your front number plate brackets from? Been thinking about putting mine there for a while. Also have you noticed if it effects the cooling at all, for instance if the fan kicks in more often?
Cheers, Matt

Re: Alex's Polo 6n2
Cheers Alex,
Ill get to it one day. However im also thinking of getting my bumpers smoothed out like yours so may wait till then
Would you mind telling me how much it cost you to do that? Don't worry if you don't want to say, just wanted to get a rough idea
