I just wanted to send out a thanks to everyone on the forums for helping me out with detailing my 97 Jetta VR6. Im really happy how the car came out. This car was in bad shape. Swirls, scratches, dull, and was losing its "black" color. This forum has been very helpful and I couldnt do it without it. Thanks again. Here are a few links to my fav pics of how the car turned out. Also the link to my gallery where you can see the end result

Hee hee... For some reason this had me thinking about a new product along the lines of that Griot`s PC clay holder: A chenile sponge with velcro glued to one side. Wash the car by PC! Cut your washing time in half, power through dirt and grime... plus, the velcro back allows for quick sponge removal for easy rinsing/resoaping in the bucket! Tough tar and bugs? Just crank the dial up to "6"!

Ok, I`ve got some problems...

This little face "
