Me as well. I drive a lot on busy streets and interstates. There's not much room for me practice.

I'd like to pick up one of the cars with the "flick" shifters on the steering wheel though.

DEFINITELY would want an SMG that worked well. I love F1 and paddles are awesome. But I think SMGII on the e46 non-m cars aren't that great. DSG from audi on the other hand...

any smg on non m cars blowsssssss, never buy that crap. if you want a fun car thats sort of an auto, but really a manual, go look at a mk5 gti with paddles and DSG. my friend has one and im not even joking its one of the most fun cars ive ever driven.

[nick19]

Pardon me, but what's a mk5 gti?

[Kelso]

mk5 is the newest generation name of the volkswagens. the GTI is well...the gti...for a while they had the "fast" commercials on tv where the little black demon-rabbit thing would make the driver go fast

washed both with poorboys SSS for the first time, i loved this soap. i knew i would, but first im ognna have to finish off a jug of meguiars and a bottle of duragloss, the poorboys was much better than those 2 in my opinion.
dryed the truck with my guzzler and moved it out of my way! then i grabbed my wolfgang clay and lube.for some reason the color was coming off on my hands?ive kept it stored in the original box and i keep a few sprays of the lube in there too? and ways sprayed the lube on my wet car and clayed the front end and the hatch, not enough time for the whole thing.
polished with xmt1 and white pad to remove any clay marring on the front. i also soaked the whole thing in an alcohol water mix to strip all the old wax.
applied the new dp sealant on a microfiber applicator, this stuff looked great! i love the smell and when i was done the slickness was just as good if not better than liquid souveran. i let it sit on the paint for a long time cause i walked away...
i came back out to the garage and applied some dp wheel glaze to all 4 wheels, buffed the paint and then buffed the wheels and applied some wolfgang tire gel. the tires looked so shiny, so wet, its incredible. ive used it before but i guess i put it on thinner last time cause i dont remember it looking this amazing!



sorry for the lighting, best i could do

DP surface shield is wonderful. Super-slippery, and super-easy to use.
DP wheels glaze is the ultimate sealant for wheels. Lasts around a month, when wheels are washed with just soap and water. Wolfgang Black Diamond tire gel is one of the best tire dressings I have ever used.
Check it out.

day 2 thoughts: feels even slicker today than it did last night but unfortunately it rained so i htink im oging ot have to reapply, which i planned on anyways. water beading was awesome andoverall my car just seemed to have a cleaner look to the paint than before, very crisp looking, i love it. glad i bought a gallon of this stuff! i forgot to say that applying with a microfiber applicator is not the best way...i usually use a foamy but i tried the MF and it was not as easy to apply that way.after driving around through the rain, getting slideways anddrifting a bit on lunch break, i parked and noticed the tires are just as wet and glossy as when i applied the black diamond gel! gonna pick up a refill jug of this stuff i think
