Shampoo and washmitt suggestions
« on: April 26, 2009, 01:26:10 pm »
Given that I'm heading home for some annual leave, I swapped my rims over (Brum isn't kind to Monza II shadows). Also gave the car a quick wash and topped up the Lusso Oro. Jim@autoperfection - you were right. Two coats of wax really does bring the best out of it. Unfortunately it started to rain (very mild, more like spitting) so I finished buffing (using rainwater as lube) and took the car inside without taking any pics.

Unfortunately, my wash mitt (
Eurow Sheepskin washmitt) started molting and then suddenly tore a hole. Not sure how it happened but looking at the website, apparently I'm not meant to stick it in the washing machine  :sad: Also ran out of my normal shampoo DJ BTBM.

So I need some suggestions. Do I go for the same again, or is there anything you'd recommend over and above my normal stuff?

Also, anybody know where I can get wedge-shaped cotton buds?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
