Golf R -v- Golf GTI

Now thats love! Good to hear, and the neighbours thinking your nuts must be a side effect that all RB owners have as DaveR's neighbour also thinks his nuts after seeing him wash his in the rain Lol

ummm nothing wrong with that.. thats why I bought a house with a double garage and had the centre pillar removed so I could wash it outside and dry it inside..

I dont know how quick the RB gets noticably dirty but the PB is a magnet for dirt lol, a!

yeah thats why I didn't get Black.. even though I am a wax junkie just couln't handle washing it and then have it dirty 15 minute later.. but as for the RB getting dirty it doesn't show it as quick as the PB but it has the same issue with the negative vacuum at the back and the rear gets filthy no matter the weather

But it's those wheels! And the goddamn soft euro brake pads! Talk about elbo grease!
Almost worth getting those stupid pizza-plate GTI wheels for easy cleaning if they didn't look so daft compared to the R's 19 T's (more daft than pretty much any other wheels I can think of)

This is more of a cleaning and preening discussion but to keep it on topic I can say that the Detroits would be a heap easier to clean on the GTI, even though the pads are dusty as buggery, the Teledagas on the R really are fiddly and consume an enormous amount of time to get sorted. However i found that these wheels have the same coating as the body paint and if you apply a heat resistant wax.. it is cheap and effective, you can get away with using a Katcher to strip it off pretty quickly.

I spend the extra time getting it to really look clean but if you are nit that fussy this approach is as good as any

Mine is currently filthy.

Absolutely covered in road grime, dead bugs dirt and brake dust.

Love it when a car looks like it's been used and used hard
