Greetings RS3 owners,

So guys I finally received the rest of my cleaning products as well as the EGO Battery-Powered "Hand-Held-Blower".
I have not washed the RS3 since taking delivery of it back the 3rd week of May on the 18th.
In my situation I have not had any reason to have to drive it in inclement weather conditions.
As some of you know the wife has the Golf R so when the weather conditions are really crappy I/we just use it.
Plus if I didn't drive it some it would basically just sit in the garage as Cathy works at home.

Moving right along the RS3 could have stood some cleaning and refreshing but I was waiting for everything to arrive to do that very thing.
As I said it all has arrived so Saturday I decided to do my thing.
One thing I did find out was that the newly arrived IK Foam 9 UN-Fortunately had cracks in the Black-Tube that the Foaming Solution comes out of.
That I hated as I was so looking forward to using it and would have liked to have provided you guys with some pictures of it doing it's foaming.
I called Amazon Customer Care and they were as "Always" extremely helpful with No-Hesitation on sending out a New IK Foam 9 replacement.
It will be here this coming Tuesday.

I will say that doing the front wheels and those HUGE-Bright-Red-Calibers to me is a Bitch !!!
Very-very time consuming if your like me and want to make sure everything is absolutely spotless.
Yes, you guessed it I'm maybe a tiny bit anal.
The rears are super easy .............

Oh, one more thing I should comment on and this to me and I think you guys is my newly arrived EGO Hand-Held-Battery-Blower.
I did order mine so I could get the Largest Battery, Shoulder-Strap and the Rapid-Charger.
Fellows it is the STUFF and it is fast and super efficient.
I didn't time it to be honest but I have not much doubt that I probably was using it Full-Power using the "BOOST or Maximum" POWER for like 30-minutes.
I blew All the water from the outside like the front black grille openings, all 4-wheels until there was No-Water anywhere on them or the Under-Fender areas.
Then I opened everything up like doors, trunk etc. and blew All-Water-Off until none remained.
I didn't have to use any Micro-Fiber-Towel/Towels to further dry anything as there was No-Water-Left anywhere !!!
I HIGHLY recommend the EGO and if you are physically pretty strong I suggest getting just the EGO-Blower, then the Larger Extended-Battery, Rapid-Charger & Shoulder Strap as I did.
You will NOT run out of POWER guys ...........

Okay, pictures below as always but I didn't have the opportunity to do pictures of the IK Foam 9 in ACTION and that I really wanted to do.
