Well I think I need to invest in a hard wax to protect it better, any recommended waxes for the candy whites?

I use Gtechniq C2 on my wife's white Megane .. its' excellent at stopping UV light getting through which can fade white paint.

Had this on my CW Mk6 too when I picked it up, just spent today claying for the first time and am astounded by how good it made the paint feel, literally like silky smooth glass.

I honestly thought it was OCD car cleaning hype but it really is as good as everyone says and have now applied some AG SRP and the High gloss AG wax too paint looks fab  :cool:

These types of thread are invaluable as I thought a body shop trip was required tbh, thanks all :smiley:
