Looks fantastic! I wish they offered this model here.

Great job with the detailing - you should put a copy of this first post in the cleaning detailing forum

A couple of questions on this

I thought the Bilt Hamber clays only needed water as the lubricant. Doesn't the detergent damage the clay?


What's fall out?

Finally, how long did it take you to do such a thorough job? The reflections are amazing!

To be honest, I didn't know about damaging the clay, but I only used a fairly small piece and new it was going to be sacrificial and thrown away afterwards anyway.

Fall out is all the ferrite contaminants that attach themselves to the paintwork (much more noticeable on a white car as what looks like little orange rust spots), and comes from railway sidings and the docks etc. as the car is transported or stored dockside. If left, it can etch into the clearcoat.

Total time from start to finish I guess was about 8 hours (over 2 days).

Dear God that is am amazing clean.

You make my wash and then spray on insta-wax feel badly inadequate.

I feel like i've been abusing my car..

Please excuse my off topic question, google isnt returning much for Australian reviews, what is a Polo GT and how does it compare to a GTI?

[readerr0r]

As you can see in the pics, its sort of like a 77Tsi and a GTI got it on, but with quite a few flairs that are only in the GT.
Just like the Polo R-line, you can't get it in Aus.

Replace the GTI with the GT here and the vast majority of issues being experienced by GTI owners would disappear. And its available as a manual

Except for speed but 103kW isnt bad.

Hi!
Nice car!

I also have a BlueGT and I have some(a lot) questions...

- Where did you get the under seat Storage Drawers, does it fit on heated seats?
- Where did you get the Foot well lights? I can find them on ebay, but they are quite expensive, and I already have the lights(led).
- I can't seem to activate anything with vagcom! Maybe it'st because it was the first Polo BlueGT to be sold... Do you have a tuturial for the Staging?
- Is it to hard to wire the front fog lights?
- And one last question, does the stainless steel pedal caps replace the existing ones, or does it go on top of the original ones?

That's a lot of questions! lol So sorry!
