Cheers Alan

What difference does the Extra Gloss Protection make to the appearance? Does it give it more of a wet look? Obviously I'll give it a bash at some point in the not too distant future but like you am quite lazy!

[AlanH]

I think it makes a difference - certainly more of a wet look. It's also easier to wash, and after two years water was still beading on the paintwork. Others will probably disagree with this method, but I really don't have the time at weekends to spend hours on the paintwork, and that's why I'll be giving the Edition 30 the same treatment as the GTi. Let me know how you get on.

Well, reading through this thread this morning must have inspired me because rather than making any inroads into the list of jobs the missus has left me for the weekend I've been car cleaning.

Washed (just the one bucket I'm afraid! :embarassed:)
Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection (1st time I've used this)

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the Extra Gloss Protection was to do, and it seems to have given the paint a much deeper shine than I usually get from just the Super Resin Polish, so all in all I'm very happy.  I know a lot of people who rave about megs products but whilst I've got a case full of Autoglym stuff I think I'll stick with it - the results look good enough to me!

One thing I am intrigued about though, if I were to use a clay bar would this get rid of the lifeshine treatment which has been applied?

I know one thing for sure, at this point each week I'm very glad that I chose black 

[AlanH]

Glad it worked out OK! Personally, I wouldn't know the difference between a clay bar and a Mars Bar! I'm going to stick with Autoglym and leave the Megs products to the real enthusiasts.

Well here's a Mars Bar

[AlanH]

Well, that's a start! So, you remove the wrapper, and rub the chocolate-covered caramel gently over the paintwork...sounds messy. Or have I got that wrong...

[Hurdy]

If you work it in right you can get a good even coat. See below

Well got all the products lined up here. Will be spending around 2 hrs tomorrow cleaning and waxing the car. Hopefully it will look better than a car which has just left the showroom 

Pictures will follow.

Hopefully the Carnauba wax will give it a deep dark wet look.


PS. Since i've been driving my GTi, i've noticed Golf owners nod they head at me and some put they hands up. That normal?
Even some other divers do it.

Well here's a Mars Bar

And the clay bar?
