Here is my Golf MK5 GTI. I spent 5 hours cleaning her today and despite the aches and pains now, it WAS well worth it.

This is how i did it;

Washed her first using an autobrite snow foam lance with elite snow foam and autoglym shampoo mix and applied using a Karcher K series jet wash and again this time using a Megs wool mitt.

Dried off using a synthetic towel (exterior and interior door sills etc).

Applied coat of Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine.

Then applied a coat of Autoglym High Def Wax.

Finally applied Autoglym Liquid Sealant.

Tyres treated with Autoglym Foaming tyre dressing.

Grills treated with Autoglym Bumper black.

Any q's or advice welcomed.

Cheers, shaft.

Nice job!

IMO black is the best colour for a Mk5 Golf GTI. :)

Thanks again.

The tints are factory order 'privacy glass' so not sure what % they would be.
