I used a Machine polisher the other month, and have to say , just with giving it just a quick going over, got rid of 80% of swirls i had with just a few remaining.
Just need to find someone thats willing to Mop the bonnet and front wings to blend back the filled stone chips i have, and get my chin spoiler resprayed by VW.

Is it easy enough to do, im worried about doing damage.  Was it your '1st time'?  :popcornsoda:

Today my obbsessive cleaning continues. I was'nt happy with my front grill and fog surrounds. Also the glossy trim around the doors was looking a little dull.  Steve recomended back to black which I'd forgotton had good it was.
A few sprays and a wipe later......







So shiney I could comb my hair in it (whats left of it)

So today I drove down to JKM in sunny portsmouth. The purpose of the trip was to have my new miltek non res cat back fitted.  As many have said the standard pipes are just to quiete and imo not big enough.
An hour later it's fitted , and the difference is subtle but is deffinatly more throaty with a deeper noise. I dont know if it's a placebo effect or not , but it feels smoother maybe a little more responsive.
Also the new miltek system allows you to adjust the pipes , basicly how far you want them to stick out which I thought is a nice touch. :happy2:
