Hi Guys, sorry for the thread revival.... But if anyone's interested I'll be putting this lovely GTI back up for sale this weekend once I've got some fresh photos. Let's me know if anyone's interested.

The whole car was waxed with Collinite 476s, glass cleaned with Autoglym glass polish, exhaust with Autosol and trims were treated with Aerospace 303. After the initial wash:Here you can see some swirling/defects in the paint:After claying:Again you can see defects in the paint in direct sunlight:Most of the front grills were removed for cleaning:Peek-a-boo:After the first pass:I also tackled the headlights which were covered in white spots when the lights are on. Much better now:Some finished snaps:A lot of pictures, but this is my personal favourite:Hi Guys, sorry for the thread revival....
