Eric, thanks for the info. Your address was good and I
checked the POR 15 website. The before and after
photos are amazing. I only have a few spots to repair
(driver's door, roof, and fuel tank inlet area),
otherwise the car is very clean for a car that has
spent its life in Minnesota. The car keeps receiveing
complements. People like the way it looks. Sciroccos
are rare up here (around the Minneapolis/St. Paul
metro area). I am more likely to see an old Bug
strolling down the highway than a Scirocco. I've seen
only one Scirocco this entire summer and more than a
handful of Bugs. Thanks for the info, and I will try
this stuff.
