Hi new to this i need help hate my alloys on my mk3 fr getting stressed looking at them:(

Hi Adam, are you looking to change them? Have a browse through a few threads on here as there are several about different alloy / sizes / styles etc, might give you some ideas as to what you could do!

My 184 got delivered today! It was supposed to be an MY15, but the the USB/3.5mm aux are in the bottom of the centre console (rather than an MDI in the glovebox) which makes me think I got lucky and landed an MY16 instead. Any other ways to tell?

Put about 150 miles on the car today, it's great to drive! On the negative side, it's a bit notchy when changing into second (maybe that will improve over time), and the placement of the ignition means my keyring rests on my knee. I'm very happy with the car!

X-PERIENCE models
• LED door panel illumination added for all models, with the 184PS versions changeable through the SEAT drive profile
• All interior courtesy lights will change to LED bulbs

Infotainment
All Leon models will benefit from next generation MIB2 infotainment systems which feature:
• Larger screen with improved resolution

• Radio with channel logos
• Handwriting recognition
The S, SE and FR versions will have Media System Colour as standard with an optional upgrade to Media System Plus. Tech Pack models, CUPRA and X-PERIENCE will all have the Navigation System as standard.

What cleaning products do you use to get that gleaming look?

Ultimate Finish snow foam
Bilt Hamber Auto Wheels
Bilt Hamber Auto Wash
Chemical Guys Pro Detailer (this really suits the Apollo Blue paint/finish)
Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel
Armorall Shield for wheels

The car had previously been clayed and waxed with Bilt Hamber Finis Wax though the bonnet has been machine polished with SONAX perfect finish and then topped off with Collinite 845 (which I'll be applying all over before the Winter as it's super durable and beads better than anything else I've used)

Assuming that youre washing it properly (mitts and 2 buckets) then youre probably just missing a decent finishing product. Wax and polishes take a lot of time and care, so i'm more in favour of a good spray to end with. Try either of the two...

good thing about aqua wax is your dont have to wait for the car to be completely dry before applying.
