Lovely; great reflections.  :cool: I think the current model Beetle looks really good in white. Are the roof and top surface of the rear spoiler wearing a black vinyl wrap?

No mate, painted from the factory. The sport gets the spoiler and then the roof and mirrors are an option.

Stunning Neil  :cool:  Bet Bev is a happy lady.  Hope she doesn't get it too bug splattered too soon!

How was the Swissvax?  Easy on and off?  Be grateful if you'd give some feedback on the longevity and durability of it in due course  :smiley:

Best tyre dressing ever too!

White almost as reflective as the black roof!! Love it!  :laugh:

The swissvax is quite easy on and off to be honest, pretty much the same as most hard waxes. I'll let you know what the durability is like.

Unfortunately it'll be bug splattered by the end of tomorrow, she does a little commute but must manage to hit every bug!

See, you can get good reflection shots from white. Gotta love the mk5 rear light cluster!
