Further progress: roof and rear spoiler now done.
Again, a spot of wet sending on stonechips on the leading edge of the roof where it meets the front screen, them polished and coated just like the bonnet.

Hardly any swirls or scuffs on the roof though, so a fairly easy job.





Sides, tailgate lower and rear bumper to do...but they aren't too bad.
A few tar spots and minor scuffs at worst.

Some more pics:

Tailgate and rear bumper done - lots of contaminents on both, so it was a swine of a job involving clay bar, then two grades of compound on the Megs G220 DA polisher...but came up well.



Sides taped up ready for machine polishing with the Makita rotary.


All done...a few of the finished result:












Wheels off next, polish them up and give the brakes a good clean up.  :grin:

The spoots?  :grin:

As soon as I can lever arm my mate into taking a break from messing about with his Mk5 GTI and coming to give me a hand, I'll be fitting the Milltek system that's sitting in my garage, along with some 100mm VWR black tips:
