  1. They are different. WW is just a cleaner. RW provides a small amount of protection and is a different formula. I find WW more effective at bug removal.
  2. Went to Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ.
  3. You typically want to avoid using APC on fabric unless you have someway to neutralize it or remove it 100%, otherwise the next time dirt touches it, the APC residue will remove the dirt from what it is on and bring it into the fabric. CUC is a better choice.
  4. I always like to test my cars against what car magazines get for acceleration. Matched Car and Driver's time of 5.4s.
  5. I got to be the first person to put all of the cars in our brand new showroom at work. Signs also went up today.
  6. WW works well. Just spray it on, let it sit for a little and wipe.
  7. It's hard to know without seeing it. I work at an Audi dealer and sometimes cars come in with "damage" like this. After about a week in the sun it is completely gone. With that said, I would be concerned if they sanded my new car. Who knows how much clear was taken off?
  8. Probably also has to do with type of leather. When my parent's had a 2012 Kia Optima, LC would make the steering wheel some what slippery, but in our Audis, the steering wheel feels no different at all with LC.
  9. Cleaned some leather. Only the front half of the bolster was cleaned when the photo was taken.
  10. TID is for maintenance and quick wipe downs. However, I find it to be very streaky on smooth plastics.
  11. They used to do 36oz bottles but they found people were just buying gallons instead.
  12. No, VW is the only VAG brand in the US to have it so far.
  13. I'd like to say that was the case because it would have been easier, but I really did park it with the black and white car in place.
  14. Turns out I still remember how to parallel park.
  15. Love them or hate them, I added the quattro decals.
  16. Yep, DSG. Got the mirrors and grille wrapped today.
  17. I love heated seats, although I did survive without them in my Civic. Thanks. I used CarPro Essence which is just a fine polish which is also a slight filler/ coating prep/ coating. It's a unique product. Thanks, I miss having a manual, but the Audi is so much nicer. Even stock 0-60 has been timed as low as 5.4
  18. Thanks guys. I traded in the Si simply because I got this for pretty much the same price (Audi does great employee leases) and gained AWD, leather heated seats, more power, and a lot more refinement.
  19. I traded in my 2014 Civic Si for this 2016 Audi A3 2.0t quattro. The car is new and has never been washed but it did sit for nearly 6 months at the dealer without anyone touching it. Here it is in my driveway with 300 miles on it. Just a little dirty. The color is Lotus Gray. Wheels were cleaned with a product similar to DWC and the tires and wheel wells were cleaned with Adam's APC. Here it is after a wash with Adam's Car Shampoo. I then sprayed the car down with a product similar to DWC. I then got the car fairly dry to pull into the garage and clay it. Only the horizontal surfaces were badly contaminated. Here is the initial condition of the paint. Pretty good except a few areas had minor water spots. Because the paint was in relatively excellent condition, I proceeded just to polish the car to get it closer to perfect. Trunk Hood: I then brought it back into the garage to apply a ceramic coating. I also went around and cleaned all of the rubber window trim using Adam's APC Rubber trim and tires were then dressed with Adam's SVRT. The wheels and windshield got Adam's Quick Sealant. The rest of the glass got another sealant. The final result:
