After a few hours work - one clean Golf , and some new pics!
« on: September 11, 2010, 05:57:46 pm »
Well , after having the car 3 days (!) I thought it was time to give it a good wash n wax session. So , after a wash with Megs NXT Shampoo the car was dried and the glass polished with AG Glass Polish, then a coat of AG SRP , followed by AG EGP and finally a coat of Megs Gold Class left me with a car looking like this....

At Cocklawburn Beach , Scremerston , Berwick upon Tweed.

I then drove down to the South bank of the River Tweed , alongside the Royal Border railway Bridge...








Im a little dissapointed the depth of shine hasnt come through on some of the pics but trust me , it a mile deep lovely lustre on the paintwork , and fully justified the 4 hours it took me to get it all done!

Hope you like the pix  :happy2:

Nice pics mate.

as above, red can be hard to show up in depth but with some tweaking, not impossible. Silver/grey cars IMO hide dirt well but also don't show the detailing effort as well as other colours.

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