What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[grose]

Thanks SRGTD, it's just a shame the drive to work this morning has made it look like it's never been cleaned!!

Nice hat Grose 

Great results, black always looks so good after detailing

Not today, but yesterday - gave it a maintenance wash http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=279680.new#new

During the process I noticed the front offside wheel had been kerbed.  Haven’t heard that grinding of metal sound so guessing I’ve just kissed a kerb lightly at some point in last few days.  Damage is not too bad, looks worse close up but barely noticeable from any distance, and being right on the edge of the rim it gets lost against the tyre.  Have ensured it’s well sealed and will leave it for the moment and get it refurbished at Lepsons at some point in the future. 

At 6 o’clock position

Whilst I didn't do it myself, my paint was looking a little tired, so I had a paint correction detail carried out yesterday and this was sealed with Kamikaze Miyabi Coat and has a layer of TAC Systems Quartz Max on top too.

As the 2nd owner of the car, I had noticed there were quite a few swirl marks and a few scratches but these have come out brilliantly and the beading effect of the coat and Quartz Max are superb. I am hoping it will result in spending a few less hours cleaning the thing!

A few pics if anyone is interested:

Looks a great job.  Well worth doing.  Car looks fantastic.

Almost surreal shine as ever Ms B.
And an added D'oh!

It was always going to happen at some point, I have not got a good track record with kerbing wheels and to have got away with it for 15 months is a minor miracle.

Fitted badgeskins to the "GTI" on the front & rear! Popped my snow foam cherry with a lance from Monstershine & cola bottles foam. Cleaned & sealed the Santiagos! Finished with some Bouncers Done & Dusted, (thanks for the recommendation)! It's now raining!

It's now raining!

Sadly an inevitability after you've washed your car.
