Well owned the car nearly a week and not had any real time to get the detailing products out... so thought Kermit deserved a treat...

Snow foam...

Then a nice wash and a quick polish with some poorboys ss2 to get rid of the few annoying marks before a nice coat a radiant wax...

Well now owned the car for a couple of weeks it was time to get the wheels off and give it a real once over to make sure all is ok... :)

On my list was to give the chassis a good blast of waxoil so all the little nocks and crannies are now coverd in it...

Also i wanted to clean up the grubby door hinges and take the rear lights out for a clean...

Before cleaning....

Image

After a few hours it come up ok...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Next on the list is to fit the fogs and parcel shelf... Then to find a GTI grill, sideskirts, spoiler and splitter... so if anyone has any of these for sale please let me know...

Cheers

Went to do the cambelt and water pump only to find out its already been done by a VW Dealer using genuine parts not to long agao as everything looks new and fresh... So still changed the fluids and also re sealed the sump and did the selctor gasket as that was weaping...
