Car is over 2 years old now and I polished it for the first time. Used autoglym super resin polish, then some turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray.
Quite pleased with how it looks after over 14k miles. Few v minor stone chips up front, a couple of very faint very small scratches, but not a swirl mark on it.
I’ve used pre wash from the start, but stopped that 2 bucket nonsense a while back.



Quite a lot of comments on this forum about vw quality. Have to say I’m very pleased with the quality of mine- solid, rattle free interior, paint looks good too. Hasn’t used a drop of oil since I bought it either.

Sorted spacers before that awful weather came. Was killing me looking at them tucked away.





Yesterday: Washed her and decided to have a photoshoot.

Cheers Aidy. Welsh weather has certainly looked after it lol. Looks very clean I must admit.

No mods apart from putting a double USB plug in the 12v socket in the centre console. I like it just the way it is 😀

Got VW to send me a fuse so I can get the 12v socket working :)
