you could say this thread is "all washed up"

[Kimba]

hey Kim,have you only chromed up the door handles so far? 

Yeah they aren't so bad, they don't quite stick down but they aren't coming off anytime soon and for $25 it was a steal.  I'm waiting for the mirror covers and also am supposed to be getting the chrome tail light outlines which should make it look super schmick

Sounds good Kimba ... Nice to see someone else use the schmick word.. First time I used it I had our UK members bamboozled

Hey Kimba,

Nice back but have you ever thought of de badging her ??

[trev012]

....... And also a full set of tints?

[Kimba]

I don't think I'd debadge her but yes I'm getting there with the tints gotta get my act together and book an appointment.

  I've been wanting to say it for a little while now but have been stopping myself

*agent sneaks up behind your car with fishing line*

I used Dental Floss in case it did any damage. Of course, it didn't and a good coating of polish/wax and its now the business.  Must post a photo once I've washed her again.

[trev012]

[Dazzler]

Nice bit of photoshopping 

[agentr31]

[trev012]

Nice bit of photoshopping

[agentr31]

LOL mines real man!

[Dazzler]

Yeah it's true  "We" just like stirring him up a bit  

[agentr31]

HAHAHAHA

*watches water roll off my back*

[rustynutz]

It looks rather bland without badges.....can't you "photoshop" them back on?

[Lorian]

I'd like one of the bigger CRDi badges for the back of mine, so if anyone takes one off and doesn't want it let me know

[babis_xo]

 
maybe you can use them as a pendant the "i" would fit my keys...

Nice car and so is everything is appearing on it

[Kimba]

thank you thank you thank you

[Ozbrum]

     I must say it does look a lot nicer without the extra badges, I've just done the same to my Hyper-silver tail gate door on my 2010 cw trophy. Too many badges are just a trap for wax polish build up.

     I suppose most Hyundai owners know but I'll write it anyway for those that don't  ..... The tilted big H on the front and back of our cars doesn't just stand for Hyundai the symbol is really two people meeting and shaking hands the friendly hand of the Hyundai company on the left meeting their customers on the right.

[Kimba]

two people meeting and shaking hands the friendly hand of the Hyundai company on the left meeting their customers on the right.

no way?  That is pretty smart thinking on their behalf if that is the story behind it

This is true Kimba I'm not playing a joke or pulling anyone's leg, this was told to me by Ben Hershman who is one of Hyundai Australia senior PR managers a few years ago now  8)

i knew i had seen it before!! (even though anyone can make stuff up and put it on wiki)

[babis_xo]

It makes sense



or better

[snowcherry]

seeing the before and after pic of badge/debadge directly - definitely don't like it. nup.

hey the car looks great waxed up kimba
those chrome strip? things...look better than i expected to. love to see the works

my only suggestion i'd make (besides alloys  ) is maybe get a slimline plate on the front of the car. that one with the dealer frame as well seems odd looking. i took my dealer frames off straight away, and i've got slimline on the front to, i think it improves the look myself.  a thought anyway 

my Snow comes home clean tomorrow (hopefully anyway)

ahh! are they cheaper than the stuff you get from the shops?

not quite sure but somebody on this site recommended them and they really are great.. pretty sure it is www.chemguys.com.au .. I can't really tell the difference but I think all the microfibre towels, mitts and waffleweave towel helped a bunch

+1 on the quality of Chemguys car care products.
Being a bit of a car polishing buff, i have tried many different products. Two in particular that are superb -
Citrus Wash and Gloss  for washing the car. Regular use will leave your car with an excellent shine after washing. The best i have ever used.

Also their paint sealant - Jetseal 109. A couple of layers will give your paint excellent protection and leave it with a terrific gloss, and also makes it easier to wash your car.
