Black Gti - mini detail

[Drapoon]

Hi

I have been working with my machine polisher for a few months now getting some great results but I was struggling on my own car not everybody else's!
I know vag paint is difficult to work with but I was getting quite annoyed/ soul destroyed at the amazing turnarounds I was getting on my mates fords & vauxhalls but not my own ride!

Basically I used some menzerna polishes which got the majority of swirls out but left a milky hazing on the car. I was struggling to get this out so contacted a chap on detailing world (Simon) who does the odd workshop (Not in a professional capacity, more a keen hobbiest). After a few emails we agreed to meet up & the following thread is the result:

I thought it might be of some use to peeps as it shows what we used & the results

Good/bad comments welcome




cheers

Tip top effort, results and write up Martin 

Now I've seen your car, think I may have seen you about couple of times!...
I'll keep an eye out   

How long before its dirty again on our roads?
Don't know about you but I find Northants' highways to be particularly dirty all year round...

Thanks for the comments chaps

tbh pete it still looks pretty mint as I haven't driven it this week!

Yeh the roads are quite bad round here, I should know as I work for northants county council designing roads & structures!

If I get time this afternoon I will stick another layer of wax on, depends what time I get back from Santa pod

...Then can you explain the one way system in Wellingborough?! 

Just kidding.
You'll have to show me the detailing results. You about this week at all mate? 

[Drapoon]

hehe yeh I had no hand in anything to do with Wellingborough particularly the "popular" public realm stuff going on in the centre at the moment

I'm about this eve & thursday for a view, not looking quite so clean now tho

We can always give your car a going over one evening......?

[rdfcpete]

Hehhh, thank goodness! It's a mess atm, don't know if you've been through the TC lately?

Ah quality. Thurs is good with me if it is you fella?
Ah really - That'd be top notch  I'm a real detail novice so it'll be cool to learn the practice.

I'll PM you, don't want to hijack the thread even though its yours
