what is in that bottle being sprayed in the engine in the beginning - the green stuff? lol

That was his own special mix of AG degreaser , Gunk and a car shampoo which I cant remember the name of. It certainly did the trick  :wink:

Brilliant results there, no doubt with many hours of hard work. Am "practicing" with my DAS6 DA and if I can get it half as good as that I will be well chuffed.

Great turnaround on the car. Thought there were watermarks and turned out to be reflections from the surroundings!

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