Silver GTi 6 with R-LEDs and it looks sweeeeeet!
Except of course for the hundreds & thousands of little 'specks & spots' ALL OVER the paintwork!

And thus my reason for taking care of this ride over the past weekend.

Here we go!

First up, pulled into the Wash Bay for a good ol shampoo














Vehicle only 6/7 months old but the wheels needed a thorough cleaning
CG Diablo wheel gel + Various Brushes






Man that GTi grill is a little PITA to clean and keep it that way


After around 2 hours or so we pulled her into the Work Bay to dry and inspect
Pics of the 'specks & spots' covering the vehicle






Vehicle received the Clay Bar treatment and after a long while and some elbow grease we finally managed to clear the majority of it... All the while, Marco looking over my shoulder and saying "You've missed a spot"
Clay was pretty clean except for a metal filing we picked up on the rear quarter




Satisfied with the result from Claying, i set about taping up in preparation for a light polish - the vehicles paintwork was in great condition being only 6/7 months old!


Here's the afters!
(You'll notice that Marco was a little 'Snap Happy')




















I reckon he's happy?



Thanks for looking!

Finally had some time to update!

Looking good Zee...Interesting wheels on the GTI as well, are those the new stock wheel design, or aftermarket ones (VW parts bin perhaps)?

Thanks David (i'll assume you're talking about the car - i have been working out though)

Stock VW wheels... Marco just wanted his to stand out from the GTi crowd. (Plans underway for a set of 19s in the near future!)

top notch

Very nice Zee

Nice results on an unrewarding colour.

I'm still envious of the detailing facility you have access to.

Nicely doen Zee

Yeah, was wondering about those rims and debadged grill ...

"... Thanks Jughead!

I likey the wheels ...
I drive the same vehicle (Red) .. so was looking for a few mk6 GTi "trademarks" ... Standard 18" Diamond cut GTi wheels are expensive ...

GTi Red is my favourite colour.... (Ever since seeing Siyas Red GTi)
Agreed on those Diamond Cut Wheels - The R-LEDs cost a pretty penny too!

Great work Onyx. Car looks tops. Don't know how you managed to get time in for a full detail with two lil uns

Hey Siya,
Apologies bud, missed your comment some how...

Thanks, having the facilities makes it a pleasure and that much easier to work on a vehicle!

As for finding the time... that was my last escapade for a little while sadly.
Anees turns two in a week... and the arrival of my second son due around March/April.

How's your little one? Still keeping that GTi in tip-top condition?
