Do you have any more pics of the other polos too, I can see some in the background

Do you ever take it out of the garage? It looks mint! Must be fast enough to dodge rain.

I am guessing that is directed at me, yeah I take it out, we have had so much rain and storms here, last week driving, the water was half way up the wheels lol.

I wash it once a week i guess or less, well it is a 07 model with only 40,000km. Trying to get into the whole detailing thing too at the moment, see how i go getting rid of the light swirls
It a pain having a black car, but when detailed properly, it pays off

Hi vwthunder,

Thanks mate, last detail I did was 7months ago. Swirls are starting to bug me though, but this is due to poor wash technique - we've had water restrictions for almost 2 years now.

So car washing is frowned upon.
