Barkeepers friend and a lot of time/elbow grease. I neglected mine for a few months and really regret it. They got pretty shiny again, but nowhere near like-new condition.

I use 0000 S.O.S soap pad with hot water and Dawn dish soap. Makes them look brand new every time.

AliExpress, Chinese OEM parts. There are a number of decent threads in these forums discussing who sells them and how to install them. Prices seem to vary pretty widely.

Installed Forge BOV (haters welcome)
Installed Borla catback

Rear wiper delete
Ready for winter to be over so I can spend an entire weekend in the garage doing a full paint correction and coating. The car definitely needs some loving!

If they are really neglected, wet wire wool works well

Not today, but Sunday. I put on the high performance plaid from Klii Motorwerks. Front, back and horn button and the license plate frame. I also got an aluminum charger and cool red and black USB cable. All in, a staggering .05 hp gain. It's neck snapping power to say the least.

Removed the clutch delay on Sunday so I figured I'd readjust the shifter since I never did when I put in Shortys Short Shifter.
There's a thick rubbery boot under the shift boot that I did not know how to remove. I figured it just pulls off...
But I was wrong. If someone knows how to get it off properly without tearing let us know!
I had to take off my shift knob and used a 5/16 Allen wrench to lock the shifter in place. A 5mm Allen wrench works as well but the 5/16 was a really snug fit so I went with that.
When locking the transmission make sure it's in neutral. You have to pump the linkage up and down a little when pressing the locking pin in, then twist it up to lock.
Overall feels a little smoother.

Second day of ownership, slapped on new wheels and tires (18 x 8 Voxx Danzas w/ 245/40/R18 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06), removed front license plate bracket. I like the no front plate look but the holes left behind really bug me. Does anyone know an effective way to fill those holes and make them less noticeable?

The hole in the rubber boot is not for adjustment? Dang, I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I'm about to install the S3 short shifter.
