I have the same experience even after a coat of bf wet diamond and a top layer of dodo juice purple haze.

Good to hear the powerlock is still staying strong

I've lost a tiny bit of the "baby butt" feel as well (after a coat of Wolfgang DG sealant
followed up by Dodo Juice Orange Crush in late June). Definitely time for another app
of the DJ!

I am going to feel it again after tomorrow. Going to polish the hood which surprisingly the dealer only did their famous work on and not the rest of the car. Too busy enjoying it so after after winter next year I'll do a full detail to make it flawless!

Wet Diamond and purple haze again baby yeah.....It's going to be a sexy bitch....will post pics later

135Pats · 09-01-2012, 09:15 PM

Sealant always loses that slippery and soft feel fairly quickly, at least when i've applied Wolfgang DG spray+CG XXX wax that has been the case. It's all good, the car stays clean and shiny so long as you wash it regularly. And very nice infamousdrew, those are great looking numbers and IATS!

And as for myself, today I ran some logs with the access port, haven't really looked over them yet but the car feels great with the current map...so we'll see about that. Tomorrow it'll get a bath, then hopefully a new FMIC, Oil cooler, CF diffuser, and midpipe coming this week. Hopefully.

Will see how it fares after the next wash... And the next... And...

Gray_Panther · 09-02-2012, 04:54 PM

Polished with Meg's 205 after the usual prep. It seems after I gave the hood a dawn bath the dealer cut deeper than I originally thought. There were still three minimal buffer trails and a couple big and deep RID's and scratches in a sideways position (perpendicular in relation to how the wind flows when I am driving).

I did not have time but next spring i will go for a deeper cut, maybe #105, but after a coat of BF wet diamond it masked the holograms. I'll let it cure overnight and tomorrow I'll add another coat and a LSP of dodo juice PH.

Gonna take the GTI tonight instead

I put my BMW CCA emblem on my matte black grille (passengers side) this evening.
