Without wishing to labour the point, what impact would this have on my Lifeshine?

Unknown! :embarassed:

I've had a look through Google, but cannot find anything that says yeah or neah as to whether it removes the lifeshine. IMO I would still use a clay bar and wash, polish and wax on a regular basis anyway :wink:

well today is the day  :smiley:
Its cloudy so thats good, sun isnt coming out till 4/5'ish so i got plenty of time getting the wax on.

Im impressed with my GTi to be honest with you. Getting 28-31mpg around town. Thats realy good for a performance car  :wink:

make sure you wash it in the shade and when the paintwork is cool. 

early morning or late evening is the best time  :smiley:

can't remember EVER spending £170 on clothes!  :grin: all my money goes on the car  :shocked:

Right lads finally got it done.
Started at 10.30 in the morning and didnt get finished till 3.00 ain the afternoon! Boy i was tired but the look on the car made it all worthwhile.

Cleaned the exterior and the interior.

The Zymol Polish and Wax are brilliant! I couldnt recommend them enough!!!
The polish really smoothes the surface out ready for the wax. I applied the wax by hand and it was really easy. A joy really. The neighbours were very intrigued by the length of time it took and the way i was applying the wax.

I must say the end result was brilliant. The car looked mirror-like in the sun and dark/wet like in the shade. The time it really shun was around 8.30 when the sun was just setting. Then it looked stunning. I have to say it attracted alot of looks. More than ussual  :smiley:

Pictures on me mobli, will upload shortly
