What I love the most from this car is the speaker, more clarity!

Btw, new gear knob isn't good enough... Come on! You need help?

very nice mate,

post a cleaning ritual?

what LSP are you using?

:)

[u54mot]

post a cleaning ritual?

what LSP are you using?

Cleaning ritual, is nowhere near as comprehensive as yours, Dave.

All i do is wash and then wax, everytime,

I have yet to try Gold Class Wax (Carnauba Plus)

I use Soft Wash Gel, Gold Class Wash, Ultimate Wash & Wax interchangeably.

The car is usually waxed with Deep Crystal® System Carnauba Wax or Ultimate Quik Wax

Sometimes the car is polished with Show Car Glaze, i do use a lot of other Meguiar's products and a few Mother's Products, when needed.

This is what i will stick with for now:

Soft Wash Gel followed by Deep Crystal System Carnauba Wax

OR

Gold Class Wash followed by Gold Class Wax

OR (time restricted)

Ultimate Wash & Wax followed by Ultimate Quik Wax

FYI: Ultimate Quik Wax is suprisingly very good for a spray wax.

So LSP is usually MDCSCW, but i will intermittently use MGCW, MUQW, MNXT, MDCWL, and will later try MoRSW.

I'm waiting to try MULW, and METS.

you're on a winner there... ultimate quik wax has a permanent place in my weekly washing ritual.

ive started using a few autoglym products of late and i must say im very impressed...

im starting to work in autoglym super resin polish and auto glym extra gloss protection into my cleaning schedules....

from what ive found so far, the extra gloss protection is so much more resistant and glossier than nxt 2.0.. althou it is harder to remove if not applied correctly... has a very watery texture and is very much a "pure sealant"... which requires at least 1 hour cure time before buffing off... but id say the results are worth it..

something to keep in mind when you look for a LSP next time anyway ;)

keep up the updates mate :) love this car

Yes, from Ebay, remember to make them an offer

[Zeinheiger]

Wow they look awesome, I didn't think that they were whole new units, I just thought you replaced the T10 bulb

[Steven]

Can't believe I've missed this thread - and here I thought I was the first to use that gearknob. Did you shorten the gear shaft for yours as well?

[dutchie101]

Cool! they look remarkably like the LS430 size too... might email them to confirm fitment. Looks great :)

Doesn't look like they will fit.
