Cheers for the comments guys, loving the escort, that looks pretty mental! Stow, what golf you planning on doing it to?
so far the paint has been holding up well, had to wash some bright white bird poo off, that really did show up!
It does scratch pretty easily but seems to come out with not too much trouble 
Will be giving it a proper wash tonight, will let you know how that turns out 
Thanks mate, Ive bought a mk3 gti 8v, not 'new' as such lol, not 100% sure yet i want to mix it up with the green that it is now and some satin black, thinking black roof, middle of the bonnet bumpers and shadow lines,leave the rest green, but get the green looking spot on by dong some detailing

i found when washing just do it as normal, dont use as much soap nore rub as hard, but dont forget to leather it off
