I have started to give the passat a decent clean and so far have done

Washed with meg's nxt
clay
machine polish (flexipad firm) with mez PO85RD.3.02 intensive polish
machine polish (flexipad ultra soft) with mez PO85RD finishing polish
Autoglym ultra shine

and I'm wondering what to do next?

I have some mez PO106FA to use and some Collinite 915 (I also have some Carplan seal and protect and a range of meg's polishes & waxes)
Should I use the mez first and then collinite and would you suggest something else? and In what order would give me best results?

(I'm fed up of having a black car that always looks dirty after rain!! And want it to stay looking like this...or just needing a hose off rather than a full wash each week!)

nice choice of polishes there my friend

deffo get a few coats of that colli 915 on there when you can.. give it 24 hours between coats if you can

it will make washing so much easier for you  :wink:

another vote here for 915, very nice wax,

when you wax again on monday give the whole car a quick wipe down with a quick detailer to make sure theres no dust present.

He's a tight arse most of the time tho  :grin:

And I did wax it the once but won't have chance to do again until the weekend, so i guess a wash and then another coat or two of wax this weekend  :huh:
