so 3 wks on, and my wheels look filthy!!!
normally my wheels look like this after 2-3 months.

don't know if they glossy/shinny stuff they sprayed on attracts all the dirt/grim/brake-dust!!!
u can sorta make it out on the last pic below.
either that, or the new tyres r degraded bad

that aside - tires r still nice & quiet

day 1....


day 19....

yup the tyre shine they use just makes the brake dust stick to it.

instead of spraying it on, I wish they would spray it on a cloth or applicator and wipe it on the tyre - like I do.

I am so sick and tired of getting cars/tyres with greasy tyre shine!

Autogylm make a wonderful tyre product that leaves no sticky residual, looks fantastic and lasts 6~10 weeks

those photo's are like those infomercials for anti wrinkle cream.

Why is your car bright yellow and crisp on day one, but pale yellows and blurry thereafter

^ Remsa pads are also excellent (very low dust) and available locally through GSL Rallysport (sponsor on here). So keem them in mind too. Ive got them on my R and my friend has them on his GTI and they are brilliant.

^ I took Lucas' advice and yes, the Remsas are good

bhahha......that's the thing about yellow - it has so many shades, it depends on the angle, the lighting, the dirt/grime!!!!



with regards to the remsa & ate pads - what sorta prices am i looking at for all four corners?
i want to replace my pads with ceramic ones.

and what r vRS the part numbers? i read somewhere the part numbers r different to that sourced on the GTi.
