Hi everyone

Thought i would start this and get other members to share their tips/cleaning regime and how their cars turn out.

Mine:

Hand wash with Turtle Wash and Wax then hand dry.
Wash and clean the rims and blacken the tyre's
Hand polish with Meguiars Ultimate Wax
Vacuum and the clean the interior and windows.

All this takes me about 2 hours and the end result is as follows.

I think the detailing forum is probably more suitable for this post http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=12.0

JoeDarKa:
A proper going over would involve:

Jet wash
Snow foam
Jet wash
APC - May do this first
Jet wash
Wash with 2BM - Been using some Meg stuff but got some AF Lather to try
Clay / tardis
Jet wash
Wash with 2BM
SRP
Poorboys White Diamond
Jetseal 109 x 2
Collinite 476 x 2

Wheels have already been treated to SRP, Jetseal 109 x 2 and collinite 476 x 3
Then do all the plastics and the windows with rain-x

It would also get machined polished at some point too

Interior would be:

Good hoover all over
Wipe over plastics to get rid of the dust
Leather cleaner and conditioner
Natural look on all the plastics

Even the back of the seats have been polished and sealed....

All of that would take me a full weekend, about 16hrs in total...
