Bought a Tiguan for my wife. Now I regret selling my Prets from the R.

If it makes you feel any better, I think they would have bent almost instantly. My wife has almost the identical car and I agree though, it needs better wheels.

Are those the halogen headlights? Have you driven it at night yet? They were my biggest gripe about the Tiguan and I did a DEAutoKey kit on them. I think there's AliExpress headlights now though.

They are. Only the SEL Premium R-Line gets the adaptive LED headlights.

Probably won't be driven enough to justify Zhong Zhong headlights, but I'll check out the DEAutoKey bulbs, thanks.

Just finished using that short leaf blower nozzle for the first time, thing works great. Got at least 95% of the water off the car first pass. Highly recommend

The detail thread! I tried some P&S brake buster today and thought it worked pretty well. I think it'll be my go to wheel cleaner for a while, especially being able to get a gallon of it for $33. I swear it even got my wash mitt cleaner. I bought new mitts for the RS3 and the one I use on the wheels had some decent staining after a few washes.

P&S Brake Buster is legit. I love that it works well on the wheel and tire.

P&S Undressed is great too for deep tire cleaning. It works well for me to prep tires for dressing.

Ran out of Adams Tire and Rubber cleaner which so far has been the best I've used so I ordered that last week, for the price if it works as they say is should be a staple from now on.

Those are the 600 dollar zhongs, bmp just buys them, “QC’s” and then resells.

I'm sure, but I'd be willing to pay a little extra for customer support and the ability to return if they don't work right. They also make ones with the SEL Prem style running lights.
