Hi folks after the last 18 yrs of having a mommy car with all the spills and everything else that comes with owning a station wagon. I have finally bought myself a fun car, bring back my memories of first car. I'm here to learn how to keep it looking like its still in the show room. Wish me luck, all these products abbreviationsare over whelming.
 
Welcome kidsgone.

So, what did you buy? This is a site full of car enthusiast. We are gonna want to know more about the car and what your plans are to take care of it.
 
welcome indeed .... what kinda ride did ya get >>
 
Thanks for the welcome. I bought a 2010 VW Golf TDI Jet Black with Clear Coat finish. I know its not a classic but it has all the bells and whistles I was looking for. Had to have the blue tooth since I work 2 jobs.
Love the feeling of driving again 6 speed stick much more fun than an auto transmission. Don't get me wrong driving an Auto trans for 18+ yrs was great with kids in the back you tend to run out of hands

Anyway just finished washing and waxing it. Looks great just need a product that will get the plastic/vinyl around the bumper and mirrors looking nicer. Also I'm using up some Turtle Wax Clear Coat but the applicator needs to be smaller for my hands. Any of you out there find something that fits in small hands the one we have is about 8" dia way to big.

Welcome....... I have a question.. How did you get them to leave? Is there a trick that I haven't learned?
 
You guys crack me up. I have/had two boys the answer for us was send them to school if they don't do well at least they find GIRLS

The oldest just found a job took a whole year!

Still a bit confused on the best product for the plastic / vinyl on the trim around the car. My wish list of is mounting up I'm going to have to get another job! Only kidding I'll just wait for the sales.

Most seem to like 303 Aerospace Protectant. It will darken the plastic and give it a nice sheen.

I use Griots Garage Vinyl and Rubber Dressing. It has a little less darkening and a little less sheen. I like a more natural look and less of a "dressed" look. With that in mind, the 303 does not look overly done either. Both are nice. The Griots is also a great tire dressing if you dont want that shiny, freshly siliconed look. Looks more like a brand new tire.
