Re: My new ride - 2018 VW Golf Type R ....
That’s awesome Keith. I so wanted the M2 but having 4 wheel drive here in NY really helped with my decision, not to mention the ultimate price differential.
I need to do the treatment to my car. Normal wash, wax and detailing is out for me. It’s just too much work. I’ve been reading about the ceramic coating and am trying to find a reputable guy to do it.
I agree, buying my car really put my audio purchases into perspective. I’m truly happy all around.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

Re: My new ride - 2018 VW Golf Type R ....
Joe, did you ever test drive the new Miata when considering the VW R? I know the R is a better performer but the Miata is supposed to be a blast to drive. While I love my BMW i8 I was thinking about getting a modestly-priced manual transmission ragtop to play around with and the Miata always gets top rankings in this category.

Re: My new ride - 2018 VW Golf Type R ....
I test drove both the Miata and the gti before I bought my gti. I also have a buddy with a Miata, which gets the nod from a fun driving perspective, but loses badly on the utility perspective - so it’s ultimately about your needs and wants. Agree though - the Miata is a super fun and not over the top expensive car.

Re: My new ride - 2018 VW Golf Type R ....
I’m a little embarrassed to say but I tried just getting into the Miata and I gave up. I don’t think it would have even been possible to wiggle in. The new Miata looks a little bigger than its predecessor but I couldn’t do it.
I absolutely wanted to get a Mazda and looked at them all. The Miata would have been a blast but I was worried about making it work.

Since the R has a hatch and seats that fold down, it's much easier to haul large amps and speakers around, lol.

Re: My new ride - 2018 VW Golf Type R ....
My mobile detailer does a base c quartz treatment for $350 that includes wash, clay bar, decontamination/scratch removal/polish (stripping down the car), and then 2 coats of c quartz ceramic w/ heated drying done per body panel. It took 3.5 hours and that was on a week old car with no issues. He said if my car is garaged, it would last 4 years.
The super detail guys using cquartz professional go upwards of 1k which seems a bit silly but some do 4 coats, etc. I'm very happy with the base treatment and thus far seems dust just rolls off it.Brinkmann Bardo w/ EMT HSD-006 cart, MSB Reference DAC --> Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL --> Ampzilla 2000, 2nd Edition --> Fyne Audio F1-12

Re: My new ride - 2018 VW Golf Type R ....
Pricing seems VERY reasonable for all that work. I need to find a guy to detail for me. I am fortunate enough to have a garage for my car so it will keep cleaner in between washes. I've been checking out the foam cannons with the pressure washers - very cool

Re: My new ride - 2018 VW Golf Type R ....
Joe you need to get you a blower to dry, I've been using one for the last 10 years best investment I've made. I switched from wiping my cars dry, just in case you left some dirt on the car that could scratch your paint, to air dry. There are a few out there, but I went with this one. https://www.chemicalguys.com/Metro_M...m_p/mb-3cd.htm

Re: My new ride - 2018 VW Golf Type R ....
Chris,
Thank you for the recommendation. I see all over YouTube, guys using a blower. I almost ordered one but always thought it a great idea. I’m not in the best shape and even doing a wash and dry was a little taxing. Using the blower will definitely help. Can’t wait. Lots of guys recommend battery powered leaf blowers. Hmmm.Last edited by joeinid; July 3, 2018 at 09:00 AM.
