Tornado Red Detailing

[K9]

Hey, jst bought a golf gti mk5 tornado red. with only 32.000miles on it.

Question is now what paint cleaner etc do i use before i wax it with hardwax? and any good protection to put on at the finale?

jetseal 109 / collinite 476 is my choice on my TR GTI

Need to add way more than that in my opinion for the best look!

Read jays detailing guide for an idea

My full detail done today briefly written:
Snowfoam
Wash
Ironx
Clay
Polish
Glossworks Glaze
Jetseal 109
Autoglym hd wax
G1 on glass
Alloy clean and wax
Tyre clean and gel
Trim clean and gel
Engine bay power wash and paint

Excessive yes but it's a monthly job when done right!

Zaino for me.

whats that Zaino?

[MC71]

On the Red Mistress I've used Clearkote Red Moose Glaze followed by Victoria Concours Red Wax for a while and the results were always great but not a patch on the Zanio range of products.

After the usual pre polish steps I go with Zaino Z-5 PRO Show Car Polish then Z-2 Pro Show Car Sealant follows by Zaino Z-8 Grand Finale Spray Seal and/or Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss EnhancerSpray and it looks awesome.

I buy all my Zaino bits from from Cleanyourcar or directly from Zaino.

thx. what dual action polish machine will you recommend for me?

[MC71]

Some kind of DAS-6 Dual Action Polisher. Can be had for under £100, look on Cleanyourcar's site. Lots of advice on here and on the Detailingworld site.

To be fair you only would need to wash it for a good 3 months now... you wouldn't need to polish or clay/re pollish for a fair while now :)

Certainly keeps you busy lol !

Sorry I actually meant to say a 6 monthly job on that but forgot the number 6!

Not for diamonds would I jetseal every month, I'd have shoulders like a god!!
