To be fair to n8s, the paint is in very good condition, only very minor marring, which needed really strong light to see. So much so the camera couldn't focus on it lol

The process as usual.

Wiped down with tardis,
Then polished with:

3m fast cut plus
3m fine polish
3m ultrafina

Then coated in ag hd wax, I do have a sealant but decided against it,
The windows done in my remaining gtechiq stuff from the leon,

Really pleased with the car,

Next week ill be fitting the arb's, doing some touching in and finding a rattle lol

Jake

[N8KOW]

I never touched it with the machine, but I'm sure it's coming up great, hopefully you can sort the rattle and the scratch 

[Andy]

knew the first you would do is wash it

[cuprajake]

Rattle is located. The boot poppers need winding in a little bit. It's keeping the lock on the second latch I think.

Sadly the scratch is terminal lol.

I've oreded som 15mm spacers for the rear, then I'll see what it looks like.

Need to get me some gliptone lol

[Andy]

Scratch is nothing you can't sort out thou Jake

[cuprajake]

True.

I've retouched it but alas it went through. It was still visible so I wouldn't of been happy anyway haha

[DamoP]

looks ace buddy, just like mine but 3 door

[OLLIE_JETTA_MK5]

Looking good mate ! i used gliptone the other day and seats came up like new considering they had 9 years of sweaty arsecrack in them !
