The exact same situation with me, but ours are in white! haha
-
My cars black and the Mrs is white.
When I detail mine it looks stunning but when I give it a quick wash to clean it it does nothing for me.
However when I give my Mrs, white car a quick clean, it is so much more satisfying as you can literally see the dirt wipe away leaving a clean car. It kind of inspires me to do hers more than mine :cry:
-
That's one super shiny, wet look GTI (and A1). Top job! Really like the anthracite Watkins Glen wheels.
Black looks fantastic after a good clean, polish and wax, but having had 5 black cars in the past, I know what a labour of love it is to keep them looking that good. I've had white too, and like both, but I think white is easier maintain if you're short of time.
I find my Carbon Grey GTD seems to stay looking cleaner for longer than my black mk4 and mk5 did. Seeing your super-clean pair has put me in the mood to do my pre-winter detail, once the weather improves!
-
Very nice, great job!
-
Sucker for punishment with 2 black cars, they both look great mind from your efforts :cool:
My wife and I both have white cars which I hate, and the fact we have a Leon FR and Golf GTi looks like his & hers, we just need matching waterproof coats... :huh:
-
i had a black cupra r , never again . they both look awesome thou
-
Ah Black is best, well at least for a day and with you on keeping one.
Almost every VAG car ive owned has been black, cant stay away but it gets on average 52-60 washes a year to keep it mint or between washes a jet wash on the drive...... :nerd:
-
Both looking great mate!! Black always comes up lovely once done!
-
2 days on the road after the deep clean and it's still looking good after all this rain.... :smiley:
-
Good work :cool: I love the way it looks like you've driven the golf into the bush in this picture! :grin:

love your dedication on those two
-
Thanks...worth it to see them gleaming... :cool:
-
Amazing polishing job. Black looks the best when in showroom condition. Shame about the rusty discs :wink:
-
Having two black cars would drive me insane. One dark colour one is enough for me.
-
what do you use on your tyres?
-
I use Blackfire gel...it seems to last for a couple of weeks and leaves a gloss shine... :cool:

I use this currently, but might change dependent on cost....

.....lasts about 3 weeks covering 200 miles a week, round the Devon twisties. It costs about £6-7-8 and you get a foam applicator.
How much do you pay for Blackfire, it looks fantastic! :smiley:
-
It cost me £19.50...here's the write up... :smiley:
Blackfire Total Eclipse Tyre Gel is without any doubt one of the best tyres dressings on the market today. We use it on a regular basis in our studio whenever our customers request a high gloss finish on their tyres. Blackfire Total Eclipse Tyre Gel goes on very easily with little fuss or mess, and produces a rich looking finish that can easily be adjusted in terms of the shine level. The formula gives a glossy look upon initial application, but then dries to give a rich satin black finish in around 1-2 hours. If more gloss is desired, a second application 10 minutes after the first will produce a higher gloss finish once dry. Durability is excellent for a water-based dressing; under typical British weather conditions each application usually lasts for a minimum of three weeks, and if multiple layers are applied then four weeks or more is realistically achievable.

Hmmm I use PoorBoys Tyre Gel just now. Gets good write ups on deatailing world, but sometimes ends up up the side of my car. Was hoping the stuff you used wasnt a gel, but will probably just be more or less the same product. Is there any wax applications out there?
-
I use the Blackfire Tire Gel too.
I also have Migliore Bella Lustra. Less glossy but spray on, wipe and no sling.

My neighbours already think I'm off the scale with my twice a week car cleaning. We have an agreement though - no pressure washers before the hours of 0830.
