fatttty Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Bubbly gti spoilers are a nightmare. They are honeycombed so it will happen again and again unless you can get it filled with foam and sealed.The car looks great. Love a red gti Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4n91 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Bought a new shampoo from juicy detailing (great service) and some eurow microfibres to treat Lucy to her pre UD prep. The pre UD detail starts this weekend with the following;Hose off 2BM with the above chemical guys shampoo Rinse Clay using bilt hammer regular clay2BM again Dry with my waffle weave drying towelPolish using AG SRP And then the choice of which wax to apply, colli 476 or dodo juice supernatural????? Will be applying two coats And then the The following Saturday (day before UD) I'm goin to wash with 2BM and then dry and apply another coat of wax......Thoughts ??? Also any Thoughts from this who use the CG CW&G ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronhtid Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi mate,Process sounds good, although I'm not a great fan of SRP although it is a good product I found other to be better.I'd look at getting some Auto Finesse Rejuvenate Pre Wax Cleaner and some Auto Finesse Tough Coat Sealant.Rejuvenate is an awesome paint cleaner and leaves a perfect base for either Tough Coat or one of their wax's and also has slight cut in it too to nip out any minor marks such as wash marring.Here's my Tornado Red GTI.

d4n91 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Cheers mate please see other thread with regards a couple of questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4n91 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Few updates;Since lowered I've had a knocking and a noise when cornering hard, this is diagnosed as being the driveshaft. That's a chassis notch needed then, also got an annoying squeeling noise and that's due to there being minimal material on the front pads as you can see by the pic below, luckily it's not damaged the disc, fitted new pads and the squeel has gone Also another sticker to the collection A couple more then I'm done I think Should get some good pictures over the weekend as the pre UD detail begins........

Yes mate bit unfortunate that they aren't the same shade and cheers Bit of an update too.

Joti Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Would be much better without the stickers.The whole point of modding is to get the car to YOUR taste as as individual, no-one elses. Were that the case, we'd all be driving round in identical cars, no? Which means we may as well left them as stock in the first place!
