    Getting color back in faded Porsche Calipers

    I have red Porsche Boxster S calipers on the front my Jetta. I've used Menz SIP with decent results to get them back to their original shiny red. I found someone on Ebay that sells the caliper decals to replace the original ones and they've worked quite well.

    "oh that's normal"

    I think what the dealer meant by "that's normal" is that a lot of VW headlights suffer from that issue. B5.5 Passats (of which that is one) and MkIV Golfs and Jettas suffer from the same issue. Passat lenses get cloudy and Golfs and Jettas actually yellow. I'm only defending the dealer in...

    Meghan Madness

    Like others, I haven't had a chance to speak with anyone personally at AutoGeek, but having never had any issues with any of my orders, that's a good thing. Their customer service is amazing - orders are shipped quickly and correctly. Some of my "customers" and friends have asked where I buy...

    How often do you condition leather seats?

    I have a 2003 Jetta, so we have the same seats. I clean my seats every other month. I use DP Interior Cleaner and Griot's Leather Conditioner (the lotion, not the spray). It's non-greasy and smells good.

    Got a little problem

    With the VAG clearcoat being so hard, I'm interested to see how you handle those marks since I have some of the same on my car. That hard clearcoat is a blessing and a curse...

    After PHOTO's (menzerna polishes)

    Like any black car, red is really hard to keep up with. One nice thing about this forum (and AutoGeek in general), is that you find products that work through the posts of others. My post-event regimen utilizes a decent amount of Stoner's Tarminator followed by a re-wax. It's a lot of work...

    After PHOTO's (menzerna polishes)

    Nice work on the TT! I use Menzerna SIP (orange 5.5" LCC pad) and Micro Polish (white or green pad) on my Tornado Red 2003 Jetta. I use Pinnacle Souveran Paste as an LSP in the summer and the liquid in the winter. In addition to daily driving my car in Pittsburgh (harsh winter conditions), I...

    Winter.. a love / hate relationship

    It could always be worse - I live in Pittsburgh and winter hasn't been that bad so far. Cold, yes...but not as much snow as those around us. A co-worker just got back from a hearing in Rochester, NY and he said they have a rediculous amount of snow. Those are some hearty people in western New...

    Santa send me an AG gift card! How about you???

    After years of buying parts for my car ("bent pieces of metal that I have no idea what they are" as my Mom likes to call them), I usually hand over a spreadsheet to my family. I think it's easier that way - we all have different interests and we would rather buy something that the other person...

    Detailing Log/Product Pairing

    VAG clearcoat is pretty hard. I've had some issues getting some scratches out of the hood of my 2003 Jetta GLI. In my experience, Menzerna SIP did a great job of removing all but the deepest scratches (my nephew ran a Matchbox car across the hood - what can you do...). I asked for several XMT...

    Vacuum cleaners! The endgame thread!

    My sister bought me a Hoover "Garage Utility Vac" for my birthday this year. I detailed a car this summer where the person used the car to shuttle dogs to and from the local park - she's a professional dog-walker. I was surprised when the "GUV" handled about two year's worth of dog hair of...

    Did someone say today was Cyber Monday?

    LC CCS pads and a dryer?

    This is the process I use. It's always worked for me.

    Audi RS6 w/DoDo

    Those cars are total sleepers on the road, as are the S4 Avants. You would never expect a car that big to go so fast so quickly. See also: BMW M5. The DoDo products look quite good. I've noticed a lot of detailers in the UK use their products. Nice to see AG carrying the line!

    Chicagobob Winter Seal: E46 M3 Jet Black

    An E46 M3 on BBS RG-R wheels? You had me at "hello"! Like you, I'm getting ready to pull the summer wheels (BBS REs) off of my Jetta to put the winter wheels on. It's a depressing day...admitting defeat to Mother Nature isn't fun...
