Great site and a lot of cool beetle fans. I have a 2002 Turbo S, I have owned it for couple of years now, I have done a couple of cosmetic mods and tail pipe upgrade. Look forward shearing the you feedback and ideas.

Welcome. Lovely car, perfect shine.

Funny you should post those pics at this time as I am struggling with my car trying to get her spotless. What is your trick of the trade?

Clean bug? that's an understatement!! I'm in love

My feedback: Black beetles are the best- you've done us proud. Very tastefully done- a hot/clean look

My Ideas: Post more pics please!! You're doing your TurboS right, no need for me to botch a good thing with my ideas. Keep doing what your doing

Oh, and did i mention... more pics

Welcome to our family. Great looking Turbo S.
But we definitely need pictures - sorry that's just how we are - we love pictures.

Thank you, I live in Golfbeach Hwy towards Perdido. As far as the garage goes, my wife deserves all the credit.

Thank you, Bella Sera

Here are a few tips.

1. Do not wash or dry under direct sunlight, if no option make sure you dry up with a chami immediatelly.

2. Do the tires wheels first with watter and regular dish washer soap. Then use fresh water and a quality carwash soap with soft mit ar sponge to clean the rest of the body. I use an old toothbrush the get into those hard to reach area of the wheels.

3. I mixed two products when waxing. #1.Color Magic from Turtle wax, which comes in different colors and helps to cover imperfections on the paint, also comens with a colorstick very similar to a lipstick for deeper stone chips or scratches. #2 Gold Class from Meguires to give it a nice gloss. There is no real measurement that I use when I am mixing the two waxes, but since my car is black I make sure that the wax is nice and dark when I apply it to the car.

3. For the tires I apply liquid crystal to a sopnge the rub the tires. Every now and then I remove the wheels to clean the inside and the wheelwells, just something that I used to do when helping my cousin when taking his car for auto shows and kind of stayed with me.

I hope this helps,
