No more polishing....!!

MaceyVRS · 14-12-2007, 21:00

Hi guys,

Thought i'd post a photo of my Octy after spending all day wednesday cleaning and waxing. What do you think??

les666 · 14-12-2007, 21:06

missed a bit ! sorry couldnt resist. looks spot on.

usually when you go to all that trouble a bird usually ****s on it within an hour

MaceyVRS · 14-12-2007, 21:15

Thanks, i've taken off those headlight protectors now which makes it look better. Got to get a new tax disc holder instead of that nice orange RAC one that's in the windscreen at the moment!!

nbr_uk · 14-12-2007, 21:24

Looking good! Wish mine was so clean!

Grab a Magantex one from Asda. Best thing ever invented.

I should clean mine tomorrow if I can muster the energy. Its usually clean but I cannot be bothered in this cold.

Bravo2zero_sps · 14-12-2007, 22:49

Arrrggh my eyes....

Mine needs doing and will need a chisel to get the layers of muck off mine before it gets anywhere near a state to polish.

MAPGO · 15-12-2007, 00:53

Hmmmm- you want to clean that wax off your number plate

Babs · 15-12-2007, 01:01

Shiny

mathepac · 15-12-2007, 01:24

I think you need more practice in your search for perfection in shininess - I will volunteer my very mucky little bus to facilitate your progress - you can start on mine with a jack-hammer.

Lovely job, shame it has to go back on the road.

octav.ed · 15-12-2007, 01:44

isn't that a lovely colour of black...

u can do mine anytime.

Makefish · 15-12-2007, 01:53

I still love the look of the MkI vRS, in fact it's what drew me to Skoda in the first place and yours is looking mighty fine polished and waxed

. One thing I would get while you are out looking for a replacement tax disc holder is some 'silver' indicator bulbs to lose the fried egg look, then it would be perfect imho

smstext · 15-12-2007, 03:26

mine needs doing (hint hint)

gave mine a quick wash and a spray on gloss last saturday evening (yes washing in the dark isnt the best thing to do) and in 30 minutes had a sparkling car with little effort as i knew (and was correct) that it be filthy again by this weekend.

mattbeef · 15-12-2007, 13:41

Mine needs doing as well

I just hope that i can physically get to do it when im next off

Liverpool-Lad · 15-12-2007, 15:48

Just done mine today, brrr!

ethos · 15-12-2007, 15:53

Gave mine a full polish and wax about 5-6 weeks ago...

Was going to wash it today but did the 205 gti instead as it hasn't been done for about a month!!

I'm trying turtlewax tyre dressing, it's crap

VRS tomorrow!!!!!
