about 6 weeks ago, i sold my daily beater. finally brought home the latest addition to the stable.
2011 VW Touareg TDI My wife and I have never liked beige interior nor wood trim. The vehicle was overall nice and it was pretty hard to beat the price and the additional factory warranty included due to the infamous "dieselgate". Now, I unofficially have a tow vehicle. This thing can tow 7700 lbs. Will require some TLC as far as swirls. I will have to save that project for spring time.

Winter to Summer Mode
Well, that was a mild winter. The temps have been consistently warmer now so it was time to do the winter mode >> summer mode swap.

Nanolex SiSplash
So, I was a little bored last night. I decided to try some of the new products I purchased from DetailersDomain.
This Nanolex SiSplash is pretty impressive. I simply applied with with a MF and wiped it off. From what I was told, you can apply this on the car while it is still wet from the final rinse or dry like I did while it was in the garage. The dry application did not take too long. It was a quick spray wipe on then off. So initial impression is !! Anyone else try this yet??

glad you like the product, I find this to be one of the best products on the market to boost your coating, protect the paint, add gloss, give nice beading, adds a slick touch and can be used wet or dry! amazing!

You have the Gen2 engine. How do you like it? I do not think there was a true fix for either V6 TDIs. I have read that the EPA just forced VW to buy back 85% of the Audi/VW/Porsche TDIs or be penalized heavily per vehicle if they do not meet that number. This is probably the reason why they were very generous with the offers. I stumbled upon this one while shopping for a Jettasportwagen. I have since mounted Audi Q7 21" wheels with summer tires. I have done a good baseline by doing the fuel filter, fluid updates for the transfer case, rear diff, and front diff. I also did the transmission service (fluid/filter).

I'm in the process of adding a Malone Tuning Stg 2 tune. Love the wheels! I've been looking for a set, I always loved the look of those wheels back when they showed up on the B7 RS4. |

Touareg Detail
Did a 2 step detail to correct the paint on the 2011 VW Touareg TDI a few weeks ago. Loved the results. Does it look like a 9 year old with 136k miles? Winter Beaters Need Love Too (WBNLT)!

Looks amazing! Would love to see some pics of the Remus on the car if/when you get the chance - sounds like most have gone with the CF tips but I like these.

Per your request, below are some pics I have available. It is very hard to capture since they tend to be dark. From last week: From November (when it was installed):

Thank you! I think these look great - before you powder coated, were they a pretty shiny chrome? Agreed that these are probably the best bang/buck of all the tip options, and some of the best looking.
