good effort dude.

the lambswool pads are better for polishing, once all your polishings done apply your wax by hand and buff off when cured with a fresh microfibre.

I have been using the megs tyre gel for a while now. It's the best tyre product I have found so far, so long as you like a nice deep glossy finish (some people don't).

Two thin applications, 10 mins apart seems to be the best way to apply it. It's lasts very well, although it doesn't last 'for weeks' in wet weather as Megs claim. It's quite economical to use though.

Only downside is that it can be quite messy to apply (even with the megs applicator pad) and if you put too much on it tends to flick off the tyres onto the bodywork which looks cr4p.

= I think it was made in Bognor Regis but have you ever seen any Bognor regis Motor Sport stickers?? :laugh: :laugh: Its just that I like them, its a bit different to the other MK3's thats all. I know 99% of people on here don't care for the way I have done the car so far, but I'm happy with her. :smiley:

= It lasts quite well to be fair, I use a brush to apply it and really work it in, I last used it about 6 weeks ago, and it had only just started to fade.

i mix mine 50/50 with AS highstyle to make it thinner and apply with a brush then go over it with my sponge applicator to remove the excess.
