Phil - very nice indeed.  Best colour IMHO - always spotting black GTIs but not many grey - although I see a lot of Grey GT's

Are you keeping DSG badge on back? Never seen that before.

Enjoy...

P.s. First task is to get rid of that dealer sticker  :grin:

Looks great, good condition and great colour.

IMO I wouldn't bother with Lifeshine or any of those "lasts for years" products, get a Porter Cable machine polisher and some Meguiars #80 and a decent synthetic wax, NXT or similar and a decent carnuba to put on over the top, I use P21S.

I have had 4 cars from new which all had one of those dealer options, LifeShine, DiamondBrite, SupaGuard or similar, and they all promise lots but deliver little. I found they all stopped water beading off in around 1 to 2 months.

When I took my S4 back to the dealer (I traded it in for the GTI!), he asked how I got the paintwork to look so good! I hadnt cleaned it for a while and it still looked great!

They still put one of their products on the GTI, I'd polished it off and fully waxxed her up in less than a week.....  :rolleyes:
