Hey all,


`


I polished and opti-coated my Reflex Silver GTI last summer and just did and ONR wash today in the garage.` Too windy and cold to even think about bringing out my foam gun!


`


Thought I would share some pictures of how it looks after 12 Rochester winters!

Here is one of my father`s 2007 X3 that I fully corrected and Opti-coated.` Hasn`t been handwashed in months, just taken regularly to the self serve pressure washers to wash off the salt.

Nice work there Mr. Panther. It was 53 here yesterday so the vehicles were washed. It felt good but,alas, snow is on its way again...

Very nice!! I just finished ONRing my wife`s black minivan that was Opti-Coated over 4 years ago. Still looking great!`

Thanks everyone!` I take a lot of pride in my family`s cars and this site has taught me so much.


The winter`s are harsh here and the city salts as often as possible, so it`s understandable why a lot of people just don`t care.` I don`t blame them, winter is beautiful but it`s the damn salt that ruins the cars.

Looking good. I can`t believe how old MK4`s are now. Crazy to think they are over a decade old now.

It is crazy and I think it has held its age pretty darn well too!
