Black Golf Gti What products should i use?

[Adamhodg]

Id like some advice of the cleaning master please (Rich )
My mate has a black Golf Gti. It has a fair few swirl marks on it and he is on a pretty low budget.

What products would you recommend to wash the car, then wax it?
Would it be worth claying the car as well (53 Reg)

Thanking you!

Always worth claying if the paint needs it. Hand in a plastic bag after washing and you will soon tell if it is full of stuck/bonded on contaminets.

Swirl removal by hand is hard work on most cars, near impossible by hand on rock hard VW clearcoat. Scratch X will not be that succesfull.

Wash - Sonax Gloss Shampoo
Clay
Swirl Removal
Polish - Autoglym Super Resin
Selant - Jeffs Acylic Jett Trigger
Wax - Swissvax Onyx or Chemical Guys 50/50 depending on how much you want to spend.
