Title: my i30 brand new and 2 years on
Post by: dxer2_2000 on July 10, 2014, 03:49:57: Hi Guys

I try as hard as I can to look after my i30, despite all the hard knocks its had (3 prangs & other crap) - here are two comparative photos 2 years apart.

I need to wash it every day (road grime or dust) & wax it at least once a month. And its a daily driver - not wrapped up in cotton wool.

All that daily washing and monthly waxing has stripped the paint off Daz. I wash my i30 once a fortnight with Turtle Car Wash, @'Wash and Wax variety.' As for waxing, never done it in two years. I suppose I am slack. :-[

dxer2, how many clicks on the clock? You should be commended for maintaining your motor so well.
:goodjob: A lot of dust out your way I suppose, we suffer from salt spray. :fum:
