Title: MK5 Golf GT TDi - Winter Protection
Post by: n_d_fox on January 10, 2012, 10:41:03 am

Just a short post with a few pics.

While seeing to the 1 series at the weekend we took the time to give my brothers (SF1506) Golf a clean and protection for the next 3-4 months.

So this was the car as we started, not really dirty to be fair, just a weeks or so of road grime.

Rinsing down
