The Official Detailing Guide for Your GTi
monte:
Thanks Jules for a great write-up :smiley:
Rob. Take a look at my shiny paint! I didn't use no clay, wax cleanser, polish, glaze etc,etc. I just washed the car and used the Diamond White Dodo Juice Wax! Next time i might use the claybar and lime prime before waxing! :happy2:

Looks good mate but could deffo do with a clay, might just be the picture but the depth isnt there! Lovely color though :notworthy:

Ok, first post, so go gentle on me... :grin:
I've basically spent the best part of 3 days detailing my car, over the Easter weekend (picked it up Thurs eve before Good Friday). It's a standard 06 5-door GTi in Graphite blue.
Closely (religiously) following this guide has proven to be so satisfying. The car looks awesome. Gained a lot of knowledge about "it" all along the way and can't wait to do it all again soon(ish).
The only thing I found a real pain - literally - was getting the sealant off that I'd left overnight. That was a proper pain in the ar$e, basically; wouldn't do that again. I used a Zaino product for that bit. My stuff is Zaino dominated, not all of it I'm impressed with. The tyre dressing, for instance, I thought was absolute pony. The Meguires gel is miles better.
Need to up the ante a bit, when it comes to some of my products, but I've thrown a bit of money at it already - again, courtesy of this site. I haven't even started on the interior yet!
All the neighbours think i'm a loon. Standard.
Thanks to the author of this thread :happy2:
Cheers, Hedge

Nice one mate! Get some pics up :drool:
The guide is adjustable depending on products and method mate, if you find you dont like the products or technique (leaving the sealant on) adjust it to suit you! No point in doing something if its makes it harder :happy2:
