Bought a Mk5 two weeks ago with excellent paintwork and after reading some of the posts on here decided to give it a coat of Collinite (car had a polish first - don't know what with was done at the Garage where I bought it but good shine) - was very pleased with the results. Applied the wax with a foam applicator not too thick a paste and buffed to a mirror shine - would recommend to anyone considering a great wax. Will see how long the wax lasts over the winter but excellent water bead at present.
