#1: Gti 180:dirty to clean :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 8:25 am ---- Hi guys I've not been on in a while, there's probably some new members I don't know and some old that I do, in the summer I'm quite anal about keeping the car clean, but in the winter the 70 mile round trip on the lanes it's impossible to keep it clean, I hate driving a dirty car so the sun was out today so I cracked on, here's what it looked like before I started
And here's during
And the finished result after a good clean, some poorboy's black hole glaze and ex sealant, and meguirs quick detailer

Car looks amazing! Very nice and shiney, shame they dont stay that way for long though, deatailed mine not long ago now its filthy lol

The poorboys stuff is awesome, easy to apply and buff off, and reasonably priced, no doubt some of the detailing guys on here will have something that's better and cheaper, but for me it's great stuff

#12: Re: Gti 180:dirty to clean :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:13 am ---- I literally scrapped all plans I had for the car and started paying for the wedding mate, I get married in June so once I'm back I think I'm going to strip the 180 and turn it into a track car and buy something more economical for the commute to work, I'm currently spending about £400 a month on fuel, on the upside I have great fun driving on the lanes to work and back, the 180 was made for b roads
#13: Re: Gti 180:dirty to clean :-) Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:22 am ---- Well 400£ for fuel a month is too much i think,but i guess you like to push the throttle to the limit on the lanes while you are going to work ;).
Why to strip it while you can sell it or trade it later after you get married?,anyway please let me know when you are selling the LED's,and Congrats. Again.
#14: Re: Gti 180:dirty to clean :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:24 am ---- I meant strip the interior etc so the car is lighter, I won't be stripping it to sell mate
