Four months dependant on application.

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

Am fairly new to the forum and have recently decided to detail my car, came across this excellent thread and  :congrats:. Original post may be 2-3 years old but has been a great help, thanks has been given. Genuinely did not realise what went into "cleaning the car" the detailing way. Have spent a bloody fortune - DAS 6 dual action polisher, meguiars pads and plate, selection of meguiars polishes, clearkote red moose glaze, victoria red concous wax, 3M 3434 masking tape (25mm and 50mm), meguiars quick detailer, Sonus green ultra fine clay 100g, autoglym fast glass, autoglym glass polish, autoglym tar remover, meguiars endurance tyre gel and meguiars tyre dressing applicator, selection of monza detailing brushes, shed load of microfibres, dodo juice applicator, meguiars 100% lambs wool wash mitt, meguiars waffle drying cloth, autosmart hyper ultra moose snow foam and THANK GOD I already had a pressure washer and lance/bootle. If I don't use it all I could always start a shop!!
Having written that all down am now feeing very poor indeed! Thank you for helping me to empty my wallet but most of all for returning me to the joys of "cleaning the car" :drinking:
Oh and I'm practices on my fathers rather nice 2 year old CLK (he must be mad) as it's a similar colour to my Tornado Red ED30.
Will. Post pics of mine (and his, if you want) when I'm happy with the finish but please don't expect anything close to what you guys seem to achieve.  :happy2:

That's because they're out of business!
