Title: Mk5 GTI - First Detail
Post by: musicman87 on 22 August 2010, 11:44

Hi All,

Thought i'd post some photos of my first detail on my Golf. I've always liked cleaning/polishing the car but i never really knew how to do it properly. After reading up on this forum, i ordered some stuff from Waxamomo and here are the results. Car is 5 years old and i've only had it for a month, dont think its been properly washed since new!

Products Used:

First i washed it with a microfiber mitt and turtle wax shampoo
Dried with a Waxamomo deep pile drying towel
Clayed with Dodo supernatural kit
Polished with Megs deep crystal polish
2 thin coats of Jetseal109
Finally 2 thin coats of Megs techwax 2.0 liquid

The wheels were removed, cleaned inside and out with soapy water, a wheel brush and elbow grease, then 2 coats of Jetseal109. I also fitted new centre caps as the originals were whitewormed!

The black plastic and the tyres were dressed with ImagePro Wet Wall slick.

Pics are taken on my phone as i dont have a camera, but i think it looks pretty good!

Thanks Chris,

That's down to the Dodo Supernatural clay kit and the 2 coats of JS109 kindly supplied by you!

I'll be on to you again in a couple of weeks for a decent shampoo and a new bucket!

Any recommendations?
