And to be honest there is a perfectly decent guide here

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4823.0.html

I'm sure his guide covers all the basics
I will finish my guide (which goes into more detail but his is more easy to read and follow) and post it up anyway but to be fair that one is good enough :happy2:

Janner_Sy:
Your right.  I was using a Glaze hence the sealant.

xjay1337:
So yes on a glaze you can use a sealant or wax .
It depends which sealant or wax you are using, as I mentioned glazes have oils in them which some sealants don't like and can cause them not be as durable as they would be to bare paint.
Extra Gloss Protection lasts a couple of months and will work on top of a glaze.

Chris92:
You defiantly know your stuff Xjay thanks for sharing and posting that guide very good info for me  :smiley: . I'm going to try and get it done this weekend or next but il leave the polish out I think and just give it a few layers of wax before the crappy winter and salty roads come. Could you recommend me a decent pressure washer? I guess the pressure of them isn't very important is it as you don't use them right up agaist the paint.

Did you manage to get your DW ID through in the end mate? I emailed one of the mods for you too but again haven't heard anything back yet!
