Apologies for the lack of the write up guys but when I downloaded the pics they looked great so I thought i'd pop some up. Especially to show how you don't need an old school wax to bring out the best in colours like this.

One light stage machine polish, great prep from dealer tpo be fair... they were told not to touch it, lots of residue left from all the stickers etc!
Cleansed wqith Werkstat prime, cannot stop using this! 3 layers of Reload 15', undiluted and layers 20 minutes apart. Great thing about some modern spray sealants, can be layered. C2V3 was a favourite for that on Red also.

Anyway, afters...

Thanks for looking guys, rather hard colour to image due to it's shade and the sun etc, some may look a tad weird on the laptop.

I meant to add, as an all rounder these are epic, stupid quick, 4wd, lots of toys and spec. Sensible-ish mpg. The beat thing? They're actually interesting to drive!

Jesus, I'm not the biggest fan of Golfs but Good God that is beautiful.

If I owned one, first thing I'd do is remove the bloody quad exhaust it seems VW Audi Group got a massive discount deal on the quad exhaust system so stuck it on the S1, S3 and R. Two singles would look far more sophisticated.

I haven't seen one in the streets with the proper wheels yet, and i've seen 10+ different ones!

They really should come with those wheels by default.
I don't agree but yeah a lot of people don't like the standard Cadiz. I personally prefer them.

That looks awesome.

Just a quick question, did you use the Prime with a DA? I've only ever used it by hand but assume it'd be tons easier with a machine.

Agreed, I made a thread once years ago about using it by machine but you'd have to combine it with something else to get it to spread, in this case I wanted a strong clean base.

I actually used a AF handi puck and MF pad for the first time...

Ooo, that looks pretty snazzy, I usually just use a bog standard microfibre applicator. Looks like I'll stick to doing it by hand :)

They all have their advantages, I just fouhnd the MFs I was using weren't of good enough quality. I have another 2 proper megs ones coming now and another 1 of these MF pads.

Might sound like a stupid question but do they sell these in a 3 door option? I agree with the comment about the colour its amazing.

I noticed that when I got out to get coffee in the morning. It was like jumping in and out of a Nissan. Note it was that easy. Easy to exit with the 5 door and seats are perfect.
