Hi all,
I've been keeping my cars nicely clean using OTC products for many years. But, in doing some researching on winter prep I was referred to you guys by a poster from the VWVortex forums. I'm taking delivery of my first spec'd out just for me new car, and I wanted to make sure she was kept up better than I've kept any of my previous cars. Plus, she's black, so I knew I had to kick up my care a notch. Anyway, I've got a small fortune's worth of Jeff Werkstatt and Poor Boy's products just waiting for the new car. I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, so I hope to do you all proud.  | |

I'm guessing your new ride is a VW? If so, is it 'Black Magic'..I love all those different metallic flecks in it | |

Best place I've found to keep up to date on car news. The new car is actually a 2007 328xiT, black on black with aluminum trim and a manual tranny.
I picked up the JW full-size sample pack which includes:
Prime, 500 mL
Acrylic Jett, 500 mL
Carnauba Jett, 500 mL
Acrylic Glos, 500 mL
Carnauba Glos, 500 mL
Satin Prot, 500 mL
Quick Wash, 500 mL
AutoBody Wash, 500 mL
I also got a bunch of microfiber goodies and wash mits, applicators, etc.
From Poorboy's, I've got the Natural Look Dressing and the Wheel Sealant.
I think that'll be enough to get me started, anyway. I'm quite anxious to get out and give the non-OTC stuff a try. | |

Did you tell them (dealership) about your anti-swirling policy? | |

After doing a ton of research, it looked like JW was more user-friendly and easier to apply than Zaino or Klasse. And the people that use it really seem to like the results they get. So, hopefully my experiences will be good. | |

You should move to S.Florida. | Part of the reason I bought my car now was to get out of a RWD before winter. I love my SC300...it's a gorgeous car. But, it's really a handful to drive. It's extremely tailhappy, which even with excellent snow tires, makes it a royal pain in the arse to drive in snow. My new Bimmer is AWD...and a wagon. Big change for this coupe girl. I decided I needed to be a bit more practical now that I've got a house and frequent trips to Home Depot. Besides, I still have my XJS, and there's no reason I can't Auto-X a wagon. 
I don't know about S. Florida, but I ask myself all the time why I live here...I hate the snow! | |
