Right this weekend has been all about detailing.
I was very happy with the spray job but there was a few buffer trails left from non perfect finishing with the mop.
After much deliberation i decided to get someone in to give it a tidy up as i was too much of a girl to attack it with a rotary.

Soooo i got in touch with Adi @ http://www.deep-shine.co.uk/ who it turns out lives a couple of streets away from me and as his missus was off out on the sunday he said he woulp pop round.
He said it would take around 6 hours to remove the hologramming and then i can finish it off with poorboys black hole jetseal 109 and then top it off with Dodojuice supernatural.

So i got up on a drizzly sunday @6am and gave it a wash and started taping it off for him.








Adi came at 8am and checked the thickness of the pain which was very good apparently.Then got to work.
Heres a rough picture of the buffer trails

This is the tailgate after one pass with 3m ultrafina(it now looks even blackerer!)

This is the car fully corrected but with no protection.


Time for me to get to work!
This is what t looked like after i stuck all my stuff on it.Got to wait 24 hours and wash with the tbm and give another coat of supernatural.





















I can't recommend Adi enough,have a look at his website he did me a good deal for the correction and i would definatley use him again!

Oh i forgot i bought a STORM developments single wiper as ive always fancied one(when they were hip) so i managed to get one fairly cheap so got it,wanged it on wondering if it would look wankypants or not.
Ive decided i really like it.Most probably wont but then its not your car so ner :drool: :grin:






Will be getting a smooth arm to cover it up in black though.

WOW!  :shocked:  You must really love your car to do all this to a mk3  :grin: Seriously though, you have done some cracking work on this and the results are really showing now... Looks better than showroom, you must be dead chuffed. :afro:

Thanks a lot lads,im pretty chuffed how it's turning out tbh :smiley:

Ive only been into vw's a year and im quite enjoying it,modifying it.It is a lot cheaper than other cars ive rebuilt thats for sure :grin:

It's still an old mk3 Golf at the end of the day and i will never get my money back but every car ive played with has been the same.

It's all about having fun and making something out of nothing.(whilst getting an earfull off the missus) :evil:
