Mk5 GTi - summer spruce up

Detail day again
The last time the car had a wash mitt touch it was back in November. I’ve jet washed and snow foamed it two or three times during that time but that is all so I was hoping for good paint under the grime that was on top.
Before pics
Wouldn’t be a detail without the snow foam shot
2bucket method was used
Once it was washed and cleaned it looked like this, not too bad
Iron – x doing it thing on the paint work
Then onto claying, the car wasn’t as bad as I expected to be honest, although I was not a massive fan of this clay, I will be returning to megs clay bar.
Worst part of the car was the lower part of the rear bumper
I had a large number of tar spots, autoglym intensive bug and tar remover made light work of the spots, unfortunately I did not take any pics
Here was the paintwork after decontamination
Here are some pics after the first stage, using a yellow lake country pad and Megs 83
Here are a few pics after a second pass using an orange lake country pad and Megs 80
Moved onto the engine bay
Exhaust 50/50
Arches
Summer wheels back on
And car back on the ground
Here are a few finished pics, rubbish photos on the iphone though im afraid
One after at the petrol station chilling
Cheers for reading

Nice work - looks very good. You can't beat a good spring clean
Looks like an F1 car with the summer wheels on & still in the wheel bags
