Gave the old girl a much needed wash/polish
« on: April 15, 2013, 02:42:36 pm »
Took advantage of the good weather and gave her a wash and polish (by hand). Used AG SRP, PB Black Hole & Collinite 915. (You may have seen the pics in the 'what did you and your mk5 do thread', but thought I would post a thread here as it would give the new detailers some motivation, as I'm no expert)

The PB Black Hole really does make it look 'wetter'.

That looks sweet.

I think I'm gonna invest in the tools you used!

Can u recommend any decent (cheap) applicators. And where I can also get these products for decent price. I seem to be getting collinite for around 25 and pb black hole for around £15.

Got the PB Black Hole from Amazon a few weeks ago for £12
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002OHL1CI/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Bought the Collinite about 2 years ago so can't remember how much I paid but £25 sounds about right.

Bought these applicators last month and they are supposed to be decent for the price (£2.86 for 6) although I haven't used them yet and also they are currently unavailable
