Here She goes!!
« on: August 13, 2010, 06:21:58 pm »
Well spent all day today cleaning the car and getting it looking like I want it to.

Started this morning and finished about 5ish.

Washed, de-tar, clayed, washed and dried, Polished using Merenza final finish via DA, then rinsed agin to remove dust and dried, polished by hand with Dodo Juice lime prime then finally Blackfire wet diamond. Tyres dressed with Megs Tyre gel and windows cleaned up.

also fittied Ipod connector whilst waiting for sealant to cure.

Here are the pics. Not the best quality as i forgot the camera so these were done with the iphone but you get the idea.

What did you use? Looks good!

Really nice job you done there. The car looks like you just picked it up from the showroom. I must admit if I was to buy another GTI, red would definatly be at the top of the list.

Looks awesome. What did you use as your tar remover?

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

One of the nicest Tornado Reds I've seen Steve - very nice subtle mods and the rear bumper/diffuser looks excellent.

Good wash effort too  :happy2:

I just use autoglym tar remover not the best but all that was available at the time.
Did you just wipe the engine bay down?

I give it a wipe down with a wet cloth the put on the meguiars hot shine tyre spray.

Thanks to all for comments now will just have to try and keep it to that standard of clean.
