Default Pictures of my new a3.






waving at camera


It took me so long to get it that clean and I still missed some spots... Does anyone have any tips/tricks that might help?

Congrats!

Nice car. It just takes a lot of love and care to get every spot. I suggest sleeping in your garage for the next couple of weeks while you bond with your car. That way you can stay up late buffing out all of the spots with a clean, soft, white diaper. Your new baby deservesthe best!

Cheers!

mmmmfffff - I believe I have seen this car somewhere..... Oh wait a minute, I have the same!!!!

Congrats on your car... I love the car but I hate washing it. There is a thread somewhere on the DIY section on cleaning, you may want to check it out. Take a picture of the wheels because it will rarely be this clean.... Trust me on this one...

Enjoy!

I spent a good amount of time with the clay bar, polish, and wax when I bought the car then kept it clean weekly and it wasn't much work. It's a lot harder if you let it get real dirty in between cleanings.

Cheers!

Haha, I have 2k miles on it... Took me an hour of scrubbing to make them look like that.

Congrats on the new car , Igot the Mister Clean kit last year andI have to say that I am realy happy with it , it does what it says it does no water spots at all and you don't have to wipe it after you wash it , I found that the secret was that you keep the car wet until you are ready to use the filtered water , after that just watch it dry without touching it , and now I am going to clean it inside ,put somelotion on my leather seats , see ya later.

Copa2 – I use the Miss clean kit myself , not Mister…

Idrive – 1 hour? Takes 15 minutes at the most! The kit I use (see above) is great, it also cooks for me, does the dishes, cleans, etc… It is all about the center of gravity, she is just a lot better at cleaning the wheels than I ever could. I just stand there and hose the car and her. White t-shirts are great!

I hope my wife does not see this or I will learn about another of her skill, ball crushing...

Anyway, it is such a nice feel to see the car clean though, brings a smile to my face every time - it is worth the time!
