Cracking write up, I've been looking into doing it for a couple of weeks now, slowly building up some products in work and was trying to get a step by step guide. Now I now :smiley:

Looks brilliant mate, very sharp!

White must be such a pain to detail, but you can definately get some results with the right products!

White is the easiest to detail as it doesn't show up any swirls, but you're right you can get some great results.

Thanks glad you liked it and has given you a good base guide  :smiley:

Will be looking to do another after winter but this time the addition of a polisher, there is quite a few swirls on the paint from the previous owner and my early bad washing technique!

Swirls don't show yes, but then theres that dreaed stuff called Tar..  :rolleyes:

But once youve got a good layer down on the paintwork, that just washed off a breeze.

Its those who dont apply protection, and dont wash the car that suffer!

Tis true mate! I did exactly that on my CW Scirocco and GTi and never had an issue.
