My New R8

[Mike]

Here it is all cleaned up. I spent the whole day cleaning it today. I can't get the rear glass streak free. Anybody have a suggestion on cleaning the glass?

Sorry picture uploads fail. I figure it out.

I will try newspaper. Thanks Axxlrod.

Use lint-free cloths. Here are a few suggestions from Griot's, all of which I've used successfully:
These lint-free paper towels work very well on glass (there are many other industrial sources for similar lint-free towels).
These microfiber towels also work well on glass.
This kit works well for the lower-inside corners of the windshield.

Thanks Desperado! Funny, Griot's Garage catalog came in the mail yesterday. Very difficult to clean windshield between glass and dash.

jpg uploads have a file limit of 97.7 KB on this site - your pics are all over that size.

if you changed the extension of .jpeg with an "e" you get a 195.3 KB limit which should be plenty for pics that size if you apply compression eg the first pic compressed to 90% quality is just 64k in size with no real loss of detail in the pic as you can see from the attached pic.

the car looks great - love red with dark blades.

Thank you Randombloke. I hear ten year olds are really good with computers.

Thanks MFSC. The black painted wheels are what sold me on the car. One of the extras that came with the R8.
