I washed, clayed, washed, machine polished, glazed, sealed and add thin coat of wax today. Then dressed the tyre and polished my tips.

5 hours later I was knackerd.

PS: you really need some trim restorer on your GTI grille to make it same colour as you black badge.

Any suggestions on a quality trim restorer?

Just like to say after reading jays guide, and a trip to halfords, I bought meguiars paint restoration kit for £40 spent about 4 hours on the car today. I washed, clayed, then used the ultimate compound what came in the kit then finally a thin coat of wax, took loads of pics but I don't think pictures do much to show how clean it is. More than pleased with it, all the swirls have gone off my bonnet!

Stunning, got to love the reflection you can get on a black car. :)

Lookin good. Nice shine on there. I got a few hours today to give my GTs a good going over. It got washed and leathered down then I used some of that auto glym rain off on the side windows.

I'm not going to be waxing or polishing the paintwork yet as I'm still in the process of touching in the paint chips then t-cut and finally a good polish. I need to get some ally wheel cleaner as the brake dust on them is quite difficult to remove, plus the tar spots are getting all over the car.
