Title: After a few hours work - one clean Golf , and some new pics!
Post by: dmac1969 on September 11, 2010, 05:57:46 pm: Well , after having the car 3 days (!) I thought it was time to give it a good wash n wax session. So , after a wash with Megs NXT Shampoo the car was dried and the glass polished with AG Glass Polish, then a coat of AG SRP , followed by AG EGP and finally a coat of Megs Gold Class left me with a car looking like this....

At Cocklawburn Beach , Scremerston , Berwick upon Tweed.

Im a little dissapointed the depth of shine hasnt come through on some of the pics but trust me , it a mile deep lovely lustre on the paintwork , and fully justified the 4 hours it took me to get it all done!

Hope you like the pix :happy2:

Red cars are always difficult to photograph but I assure you it does look clean... Very clean! :happy2:

Post by: stealthwolf on September 12, 2010, 12:11:55 am: Nice pics mate.

as above, red can be hard to show up in depth but with some tweaking, not impossible. Silver/grey cars IMO hide dirt well but also don't show the detailing effort as well as other colours.
