This past weekend i had the pleasure of Detailing LFC's Black GTI Cool
Packed the car with the goodie box and off i drove to his place (boy i felt like i was driving forever!)

Let the pix do the talking, here goes:

Hosed down to see whats under the layer of dust...
Not too evident, but riddled with swirls/light scratches

A good thorough rinsing and clay'd! (and rinsed again)
As expected, rear quarter had the most grub

That is nice, love the 'flections Bluebiggrin

Out of curiosity, why is your test spot on the Most conspicuous panel of the car?
