I need to get myself some of that stuff, can't believe I havent got any yet.

What level of protection does it offer? with winter coming up I want to give mine the full works.

6 months to a year of detergent proof wax that adds a deep lustre and keeps it locked in

This much more than ALL of the others!

In all seriousness im not sure but its recommended on just about every forum i am part of and quite a few guys from detailing world swear by it!! Clean it really well then apply 1 coat wait to haze, remove then do it again once more and one more application about 24 hours later (so i have been told) and keen it topped up every 3-6 months.

Im planning on doing mine again in the next couple weeks.

So got the polo in to my mechanic for a small service and to fit these xenon bulbs, but he tells me they are the wrong ones!

I have a set of 600k D2R's, is he correct?

Also had a nice little list of problems with him :cry:

Bad day.

Bugger. Is it gonna cost much to get done?

I always look at it this way, at least you won't have to worry about changing them again for a while.

Always look on the bright side dude.
