Tornado red MK5 R32 winter protection detail
« on: November 05, 2011, 06:47:50 pm »
Today as it is that time of year again I carried out a winter protection detail on my Tornado red mk5 r32. The car gets used as a daily and even though I have kept on top of it through the summer and the water still beads after ever wash I want to further protect it from the harsh elements and all the salt we will be getting on the roads.

Products used:
Meguiars hyper wash snow foam
Dodo juice born to be mild shampoo
Wash Schmitt
Bilberry wheel cleaner
Meguiars super degreaser
Vikan wheel brush
Maxolen sticky stuff
Micro fibre drying towels
Poor boys wheel sealant
Meguiars endurance tyre gel
Poor boys black hole
Chemical Guys jet seal 109
Victoria concours wax
Meguiars all season trim dressing
Autoglym metal polish
Autoglym car glass polish
Meguiars last touch detailer
Various applicator pads and microfibre buffing towels.

Haha bit far from me or I coud have done it for you. The key is all in the prep work. Removing swirl marks will be very hard to do by hand, almost impossible. A DA machine polisher is your best bet.
