What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[Hail22]

No problems. Rob did my car as well (there's pictures in there somewhere). He's an awesome guy.

Got to love the TSI, power, good handling...takes tiny sips of fuel

My last car was a dedicated gas futura 2006. The power and fuel economy is better in the polo, got to love that. $50 to $60 bucks for a full tank of lpg would get 600 or so around town and 800 plus on the freeway. The polo is getting alomst the same kilometers or even better for the same price. Its good to fill up every 2 weeks ( i could have pushed it further but I have decided to fill up at quarter of a tank to reduce the stress on the fuel pump.)

I am also looking at cleaning products too, car is dirty and with all the rain she is shiny on the bonnet but dirty everywhere else

Personally...this is probably seen as anal...but i wash my car once a week (if it rains i slap it in the garage and wash it > )

I use the following however some people are different i like to use low acidic grade washers/cleaners


Wash: Mcguiars Nxt Generation Car Wash

Interior seats/carpet: Mcguiars Cloth & Trim Cleaner

clean/prep: Swissvax Cleaner Fluid

Wax: Swissvax Concorso (yes i know its exy, but she stays fresh and looking brand new)

Tyre Gloss: Swissvax Pneu

Wheel cleaner: Swissvax Wheel

then finally wheel protection: Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax

When it comes to that full list i only use all the detailing crud once every month or two months depending on weather and where i have been (contaminants, road tar, bug, bird poop etc)

But usually just the first two is what i use on a regular basis to keep the car smelling/looking great.


on other news awaiting figures to filter through, but seems RS in the UK will be making the front and side splitters official in the next few weeks or so.

So i have put my name down for when it's ready to finish off the car (minus the rear spoiler as still deciding with a few designs)

I'll drink to that!! Hills and windy roads are brilliant! Now where to take it (around Melbourne) to really let it fly; without scoring half a dozen fines?..

You use such good detailing products, Swissvax, and then you're using Megs shampoo (which is alright, used it for a while) and their cloth/trim cleaner, which is pretty crap... used it years ago, but :/

Get some Aerospace 303 for everything non-fabric (dash, trim, exterior rubber and trim) and go with some Nanolex or g|techniq fabric/carpet sealant

oooooh i actually need a new dash, trim cleaner thanks Corey!

Megs for just once every week to wash the car down is fine for me right now, i run out in a few weeks then i will be buying nothing but Swissvax especially Swissvax Car Bath Used that on the bro's GTI.....god it means what it says only a small cap, warm water and she is safe (I NEVER USE COLD WATER WHEN WASHING! always luke warm to help aid removal of bonded contam, poop...the more you rub and apply pressure to remove a mark the more spider webs created in the Clear coat!)

Just got my new black dash mat from AccessoriesOnline.com.au

Fits perfectly, passenger airbag cover won't restrict the airbag when deployed. Also comes with Valcro strips that stick it to the dash.

Highly recommend this if you are looking for a dash mat.
