Hi mate, same colour as mine  :smiley:

ive not used all the products out there but here is a list of the things i use and would recommend

VP orange cleaner - spray it on to a wet car and pressure wash orr - pre wash
chemical guys wash and wax - for your bucket wash
Bilberry - for your wheels
Muguires endurance tyre dressing - errrrmmm for your tyres
303 aerospace protectant - for your trim (its pretty good but im not 100% happy with it)
meguires APC - general cleaner eg engine bay ect ect
Dodo juice prime lime lite - paint brightener with no abrasives
meguires #7 show car glaze - over the top of the lime prime for mega depth and some hiding qualities
Collinite marque de elegance - great wax easy on and off, amazing looks with the above underneath and brill durability

For a quick detailer ive just used the dodo juice red mist tropical and im very impressed full car complete in 35mins and it looks great.

Products are always dependent on preference.

Ask 100 people and you'll get 100 answers. Have a read through the detailing section to see what others use.

Here's a thread to read for starters. Don't forget to read the stickies at the top of the detailing forum too!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
