Attacked the Jetta...now she's gleaming 

Can we see some finished pictures Jim?
and possibly the pile of polish dust left over 

Drove to sunny wales (250 mile round trip) and achieved 40.8 mpg.

Happy with that!

Weather was great and an awesome bunch of lads

How much polish did you use!   

I was going to give it a couple of coats (its only cheapo triple wax polish anyway) but not paying any attention to the bottle and the fact your not ment to apply in direct sunlight led to this interesting 'caked' effect...

....and yes there was a little dust....will grab some pics in a bit 

Holy smoke bat man,bet youv got arms like a gorrilla after you took that lot off lmao,the cardinal sin too much polish in direct sun light bud.

Even with a polishing machine that would take hours to work in (if at all).

Removed the rear valance ready for the r32 exhaust to go on tomorrow  Safe to say the old gti valance is in bits 

Made the most of an unusually nice bank holiday weekend for a first detail of the year

how the he'll did you get the rear valance off with out taking bumper off

Unscrew and just pull 

does it come off in one piece and what are the chances off putting it back on also I thought that you needed to do some modin to make r32 rear fit

The way I did it, the valance ripped when I got to the middle, but that doesn't matter it won't be going back on. As for modifying, apart from the exhaust, nope that's it 

Yes...I now have the upper body of a Hercules but for cheapo wax she's looking good.... 

No holograms?

Polishing doesn't have to be a workout
