Today's top up detail - Let's talk about shine

Post by Jeff GTi »

So following the full corrective detail I did on my GTi only a few weeks ago, I went over the whole car again today inside and out in search of perfection or as close as i could get to it with the time I had

Results are really great and I'm made up, reflection shots below in my garage, not amazing as they are off my iphone4 and at night but you get the idea

At the price they are new I probably couldn't offer you what you'd want :(

Any more interior shots?

Looks awesome that Jeff. Really nice job youve done there. Which polish and pads did you use for your orignal correction mate? Was it the 3m gear or menzerna? Or something completey different. Was planning on doing this with mine, even though it wasnt really all that bad, but thanks to the d**ks ar Vw for letting some school boy loose at it with his bucket of grit and brilla pad, its now truely in need of some TLC. :evil:

For the corrective detail I use Menzerna compounds on Meguiars mirror glaze detailer range pads, as for waxes, I use swissvax Crystal rock, applied by hand

Wheels - I'm not particularly fussed to sell but seeing as I have loads of people asking, I would sell them for £1000, cost me £1200 new with premium tyres and have covered only 1'750 miles and are every part perfect
