I paid $24,255 (plus tax) for my 2003 Reflex Silver Passat GLS with leather, monsoon, and homelink. I love this car! Thanks for all the informative posts. I learned so much about the Passat before buying it. This is a great forum!
My question now is how do I clean it? What do you all recommend for weather-proofing the leather, cleaning the leather, cleaning the alloy wheels, cleaning the car itself, etc.? Should I have a special tire-cleaning brush, special alloy wheel brush? I'd like any recommendations.

I am a devoted fan of car care/cleaning products from Griot's Garage. You can check them out at http://www.griotsgarage.com Their car wash soap is the best I have ever used and smells really great too. I now buy it from them by the gallon. Their window cleaning solution is also great. I get it by the gallon too.
