What did you and your MKV do today?

You're not meant to be touching/using anything that isn't connected to or part of the car. Technically means pressing the answer button on your handsfree ear piece isn't allowed.

Well after 18 holes of Golf in a club match winter fourball (we won 2 & 1), wind was blowing 35-40 all day s was interesting to say the least!.
Once home with blue skies and 4 hours of light left I decided now was the time to wash and clay my Candy Ed30.
Car was first washed with Meguiars NXT shampoo/cleanser with a microfibre Wash Mitt, then fully dried off with a Chamois. After the car was dried I then buffed it with a clean cloth and then I ran my hands over the paintwork and could physically feel the roughness of the paint and after looking at paintwork spotted quite a few areas with tiny black spots and quite a lot of red ones and even a blue one!!.
Then it was time for attacking the car with some Meguiars Clay and detailing lube. Using a brand new bar of clay and the detailing spray I got to work.
I could not believe the amount of crap the clay was picking up, the grey clay soon turned from grey to reddy/brown, flipped it over and started again, the clay must have got folded about 20 times such was the contaminants it was picking up!, worst offending areas were the roof/Bonnett/tailgate and the lower parts of doors, the other areas were not too bad )so thats upper doors basically :wink:). I only did the metal panels today, I will do the front and rear bumpers another day as I wanted to wax the car after to seal things up.
I used collinite 476s and gave it 1 coat, left for 10 mins and then buffed off with a micrfibre cloth, once this was done it was time to get the dual action buffer on the job to really make it shine :happy2:.
Once that was done the light was just starting to fade so it was good timing really.
Hopefully will get another nice day soon to Wash/Clay/Wax the bunmpers and sideskirts, and then I will give the whole car another session with the collinite 476s and the bbuffer, that was my day anyway, no pics unfirtunately as I was that "In the zone" I totally forgot and by the time I remembered it was dark :grin:

Last week on the Jetta I noticed that the rear fog light wasn't working.
Changed the bulb - no change.
Ordered a £3.55 bulb holder from VW, swapped it over and presto working again!
Booked it in for cambelt, water-pump and full service at my local VW specialist (and good chap to boot) for mid december. YAY!
Now, the fuel flap doesn't close properly (locking bit not engaging) so I've got to get that bit apart now - DAMMIT!
