Hi,

I've also got a Black GTI - A quick question, if I may: How have you got a 'metallic' look to the bottom of your rear bumper/valence? have you had it re-sprayed or is it a new part?

Its an edition 30 valance, sprayed and blended, as well as the skirts and front splitter

Great photos ... car looks better than it left the showroom  :evil: :drool: :drool:

That's a very "wet look" finish you've got on the paintwork ... what wax / LSP do you use ?

Thanks.  I machine polished it with menzerna polishes over 2 years ago to get a swirl free finish, since then I've just been looking after it with lots of products.  The nicest finish IMO is from pinnacle sovereign wax (about £40) but it only lasts a few weeks and is no use in the winter.  Its actually wearing a cheap all in one product in meguiars NXT tech wax 2.0 which is one of my favourite products.  Its a cleaner, glaze and sealent and leaves a lovely glossy finish.  Add to that the fact it was applied 8 weeks ago and didnt need anything yesterday and I'm very very pleased :cool:

Your car looks superb, mine is a black 3 dr too and thats what i am looking to get too in the next few weeks, are your wheels OEM or reps ??, my car came with 17's and i'm looking at reps to replace.. :wink:

They are oem mate.  I've always looked after them but at 3 years they were showing signs of white worm on the very edges but i was lucky enough that vw replaced them all for me so they are brand new :cool:

Thanks, think I'll give that a try then  :evil:  :nerd:

Which do you use - the Liquid or Paste NXT 2.0 ?

The liquid wax mate.  Make sure you give it plenty of time to dry, especially in this weather!!!! Its then much easier to remove :smiley:
