Re: Car Detailing Rear VW Badge Water Spots? or new badge time?

I had tried the Autosol but it didn't budge and also tried a a house hold product Brasso but you need to be careful as it can take the plating off to the plastic. So I just tried to take the badge off, but cracked it :roll: . Which is annoying, but I was resigned to the idea I would have to replace ...

Re: Car Detailing Rear VW Badge Water Spots? or new badge time?

Autoglym, Meguiars last touch detailer and turtle wax. I have used a harder wax Chemical guys jetseal, I have never had problem with this on...

Car Detailing Rear VW Badge Water Spots? or new badge time?

I thought they might be hard water marks, but I can't seem to clean them off. I have tried vinegar and chrome polish, but nothing seems to work. I haven't tried brute force as I am trying not to take the chrome off. Can anyone tell me if this fixable? Or known defect. Or they all do that? Or any old...

Re: Polo 6R/6C Photo Gallery

My daily driver, great car for what I use it for. Sound system a 100 times better than my weekend warrior, but admittedly a little too bass bias. Much easier to drive long distance. Found a friend. Like the white, but the red has grown on me. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/MQsbb8hPqh7mrIUMY_ToV9x...

Re: Polo 6r Beats conversion

Firstly I want say I am glad to see someone has finally written something about the Beats that wasn't about the Mk 10 Beats! And there is finally a picture of a "Beats" in the gallery. I am enjoying what i have read in this thread so far. I need to say wheels, you need a set of knight allo...

Re: How you remove racing stripes?

I would keep it on the car. I think anyone wanting to buy a used Polo Beats when the time comes to sell it may expect that model to have the ‘racing’ stripes. I am little on this side. I am seeing a couple of Polo Beats 6Cs for sale on the used car market, without the side stripes and they look a l...

Re: Multi function display what is your preference?

I would add as a lower bound, go easy less than 50°C, personally I like to keep the revs low until 65+°C. And then never high prolonged loads until normal operating temperature.

Just so I know the second I can give the beans.
Essentially, the same thinking. The only thing on the 6C, for me, I don't need it to be MS font size 64+ LOL

Multi function display what is your preference?

I mostly set it to Engine Oil Temperature (6C) Partly habit from another car, where it is important, and partly the information isn’t changing so rapidly, so less distracting. I hardly touch anything else. I disabled some things that are replicated on the “infotainment” system. What display takes ce...

Re: Dash cams?

I have had the Blackvue 400 gII since 2012 and just moved it over to the Polo. Got a Blackvue 450 for the Lotus. Wasnt really impressed with the 450, it does the job, but after 5 years not ground breaking leaps in improvement. The lens has wider angle must be 120 deg to 170 deg. A bit sharper a bit ...
