bit of trim restorer on your front gti badge and your lower grill if you a perfectionist  :nerd:

maybe also introduce some polish next time and get some tyre dresser  :smiley:

looks very good though  :cool:

Thanks mellow yellow
Is the trim restorer for the gray bits between the gti logo on the grill or something else and the lower grill seemed clean and smooth after washing and claying or does it look drirty.

Iv wanted to use polish but not to sure what it does and how to use/apply it. Is it a finer and more enhanced type of clay cleaning to restore the smothness and original finish to paint.

What is a good brand of polish to use.

Thanks

trim restorer is for the bare plastic, it will bring back the factory blackness.

check this out for a good start to finish guide on detailing, pretty much covers everything you need to know.

ideally you need to:
wash
clay
wash
polish
wax

there are a lot more steps but that will only complicate matters  :smiley:
