  • New Beetle @ Car Show

    Hi Folks,

    I love meguiars, wanted to share my car with you all -

    the pictures aren't really clear due to the sunny day - but I hope you like them as much as I do.

    show prep was:
    gold class car wash
    claybar
    nxt glass cleaner
    #80
    #21 (excellent stuff)
    nxt speed detailer
    nxt insane tireshine
    quik interior detailer
    nxt metal polish
    nxt glass cleaner

    overall placed 2nd in the mod 1 class of new beetles - wish I got 1st but the judges didn't really know what they were looking at


    what do you all think?











    my fav pic of all time:

    Beautiful beatle! Love the 0Z's. (Remind me of my 2000 Cobra R's) Really like the eyelids but above all the innercooler!

      I think you should have won first place!

      Great work, professional results and the ensuing reward!

        that intercooler looks sick in there! looks like it came stock in that bumper. one problem, why are you still rocking the flower power??? how many pounds of boost are you running?

          thanks guys,

          i'm rocking the flower power b/c if you look closely you'll see the vw emblem inside the flower itself - that's all...

          i'm running about 19psi right now. it's automatic - but it's my cruising car and I think it's still pretty fast

                    no current motor pics,

                    just p-flo, forge diverter valve and painted valve cover =)

                    i had my meguiars shirt on too! they were giving out nxt kits for the 1 place winners - came with spray wax, glass cleaner, speed detailer, and cockpit shine.

                    i even had dressing on the fender liners, waxed the rear sway bar and the springs - all season dressing on all plastic UNDER the car...

                    oh well - it's first place in my heart.


                    thanks for the comments guys

                      If I could make a suggestion.If you waxed the springs and swaybar,detail the whole undercarriage put some mirrors under the car and let the 1st place trophy fall in your lap.

                        I think there is more to it than that!

                        you can see the nxt metal polish work on the muffler can through the rear wheel =)

                        thanks for the advice!

                          Looks like you used some great products for the show prep.

                              I've demodded the car for the most part to make it more a daily driver and enjoy it more etc.

                              But I haven't removed the bumper or FMIC yet!

                              It's hard to, it makes such a big statement!

                              Thanks for the compliment!
