Golf GTI clayed and polished.

[Matthew]

Hi all,

Yesterday was my first attempt at claying a car.

Really impressed with what a little block of clay can do!

The paint work really is like glass its crazy!

Looks good! Might get the kit from Halfords and do the Vectra.

 

[imprezaworks]

Jeez, that looks stunning mate

 

[Lawro]

That's lovely!

Cleaned mine 3 times in the last 4 days, still cant get it right. Love the colour of my car but its impossible to clean and the paint is fucked. Seeing yours all nice makes me so envious

[leeds_182]

Nice.

 

[Matthew]

Thanks for the great comments

Up close its swirl-city but my amateur detailing skills stop at claying and Autoglym polish

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks stunning. Never really taken much notice of these but that's lovely

 

[Dan...]

Love it! ...

 

[Matthew]

Looking forward to treating it to a map in the next few months too

 

[imprezaworks]

How do you find it goes now

 

[Matthew]

They are 182 pace to 60 then a fair bit quicker after that tbh.

You get to silly figures without even really trying.

Also, people underestimate their handling too.

With good tires they have a lot of grip.

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm sure they handle very well.

 

[Matthew]

Oh and did I say it did nearly 50mpg on a run to Leeds and back?

Sixth gear @60mph all the way!

Listening to the tunez init.

This shape is timeless. These are going to age well.

 

[Hodgins]

Beautiful mate! These have grown on me so so much

 

[Rob]

Superb work.

Now we can swap.

In the market for a MK5 Gti although I keep finding myself look at Edition 30's - those wheelz !!
