Washed, dried, waxed and vac'd the white Golf, all in under 4 hours. It's so easy looking after a new car. I'm not so sure the black Hammercock is going to be quite so straightforward, even after it's upcoming stint at the detailers.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Now here's a stupid question, but do you wet it after drying it to get the beading shots?

No Simon, those 2 pics were taken after snow foaming, and after citrus pre-wash but before the 2 bucket wash. I just liked the way the sun was highlighting a few of the droplets.  The only time I would wet it after drying is if I'm doing a beading test on a new wax or sealant.

Your car redefines the word 'clean'!....obviously lots and lots of work (& products!) gone into achieving that finish, amazing. New on forum but I've been lurking for a little while (only veedub owner for one week)......saw your reviews on the OD stuff and yesterday the glass and wheel cleaner arrived so looking forward to trying them out, cheers Rich

Sounds lovely.  Look forward to seeing it.

Here's some pic posting guidance:

For pic posting there are several methods. You can sign up to a photo hosting website such as Flickr or Photobucket, and copy and paste the image codes into your post. For Flickr it's the BBCode, for PB it's the IMG code. For decent resolution choose a larger file size.   
If using Flickr you can only access the BBCode only from the full website, not available in app. 

Alternatively you could use this site  https://postimage.org  On your device, go to the website, select choose images (can upload multiple pics at once), select 'do not resize my image' then upload, and it will give you the links you can copy into your posts - use the 'hotlink for forums' links for full size pics  - copy and paste the link into your forum post.
