My new cleaned A2 1.4 TDi

With on/off showers it wasn't the best day for cleaning the car, but I think it scrubs up quite well, considering it's possibly seen more than its fair share of supermarket car parks.

I used Autoglym shampoo and Meguiars clay kit and Alutoglym wax.

The off-side front wing looks a different shade in the photo, but not to my naked eye. Oh well, I'm not going to do anything about it anytime soon.
 
I spent 1,5 liters of degreasing agents (manual car wash as always) on my A2 yesterday and still didn't get it clean from 500 kms and a week's driving on salt infested roads.
I've never had such problems with eliminating dirt and grime before. And it's not even december yet...

Found a report on "Degreasing agents and re-circulated water in automatic car washes for
correlation to condenser corrosion" and it was rather frightening to read. Just a reminder not to drive through those nasty things...
