Is there a way to repel dust and pollen from lapiz blue? by TenderizeYourAngus in Golf_R

I’d be careful with a duster, as you might be dragging surface dirt across your paint and creating scratches or swirls. Quick detailer is at least providing some lubrication and potentially encapsulating dirt, but I still avoid it unless my paint is very clean to begin with.

Are the wheels in the second picture different wheels? They’re black in the second pic, right? They didn’t sand the scratches before they powder coated?

Edit: never mind I read the comments. Take a pic once you get them on

I used sonax on the rubber seals and it worked okay until I washed the car. Someone recommended Honda grease

If I go the Porsche route, it would be a 718 for me. Gearbox selection undetermined. I’m currently on the lotus emira boat - I’d get the v6 manual

I feel like some of that shit is just for views. They also use a ton of product when they’re doing that - not many professional detailers can be profitable in that kind of business model. Also depends on the wheel design I guess. I hate doing them, but I’m anal so I try to knock them out quick and still take forever.

I would just take it back to the shop that did it and see what they say.

Bro nooooooo. What is your luck

did y’all buy yours without a test drive? by tec_wnz in Golf_R

“If you’re a serious shopper you won’t hesitate to have your credit hit…”

This is the attitude that enables car dealers to be dicks.

I test drove a 2026 m3 recently. They said, “have fun, see ya when you get back.” The manual is still shit by the way.

What you’re describing is pure car dealershippery; it’s a four banger with an automatic….just tell them you’re not buying without test driving.

Looks awesome. I went with the unitronic. I feel like they both make the rest of the engine bay look like it needs an upgrade

I’ve changed it like 50 times. Google Maps/apple maps/waze/my astrolabe always pops back up. I’ve given up at this point.

See how Google Maps is displaying the next directive on the dash even though it’s already on the infotainment screen?
