PM replied to, sorry for the slight delay

Russ.

Thanks mate and I'm glad you were pleased.

I'll do a full write up at some point for you

Why do you want Auto Glym specifically? Some bits are decent, but the formulas are years old so newer offerings do allow for better results. Custom Wheel Cleaner is actually very good - foams up well and is very safe to use. Clean Wheels is acid based and not something I'd use now if I'm honest. For...

It looks great now it's settled a bit Jeff.

What is the name of the suspension set up place you mentioned please? I can't find anything to replace my Ed30, so going to put ARB's on it and get it set up properly.

Russ.

I did a white Rocco recently, take a read of this:

That should help you out process wise.

The advice above is spot on too!

Looking good you guys! What a difference a professional detail makes to a car. Russ, what advice would you have for maintaining that appearance after a detail? I had mine detailed (3-stage wax and polish) last week. I was advised to clean the car with microfibre cloths and avoid car washes (natch)....

looking good do you know what products he used? how much does something like this cost please? Hi Scott, The wax was Auto Finesse Desire, which is £119 a pot and is released today in fact! A protection detail like this is around the £100 mark. Oh and a pic with the Summer Wheels on... http://farm8....

Any pics of the damage please? I assume they are very light scratches?

Which polishing pads do you have?

I'd take a look at a coating like Optimum Opti Coat or GTechniq C1, which effectively forms a new, hard wearing sacrificial layer on top of your existing paintwork. These products also last a genuine 2 years and beyond. Any swirls or very light scratches will be in this layer, rather than the origin...

I'd be happy to take a look at it for you. I've done a few Candy White VW's recently, including Jody from Midland VW's Golf R and Deacon's Scirocco: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6786458594_b11e7af348_z.jpg DSC03326 by RussZS , on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7200/6932563715_fd5f295797_...

Jeff, it was a pleasure as always! It'll look great with the VWR wheels back on!!

Are you the guys (Russ) from megane sport?

Yeah I am Riad! You're Nath's brother yeah?

Stunning motor! I'm v jealous!!

Agree that you really need to try both, and I think it depends how much time you spend sat in traffic jams. I have a manual Edition 30 Golf, running 315BHP and I wish I'd have gone DSG now as it could handle a larger amount of power through the clutch, and I do spend a lot of time in traffic on the ...

Cheers Jeff

Did the rain hold off on your way home? You'll be looking forward to it raining when you see the beading, especially from the Nanolex on the windscreen, it's great stuff!

Russ.

A sealant is generally the best bet on white and lighter metallics, as they are more 'reflective' than waxes, aiding the overall finish. I favour a couple, such as Zaino Z2 Pro and Auto Finesse Tough Coat, which I used on this with Rocco: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6093/6223122459_72aed4b4fd_z.j...

It's getting nippy out there folks! This morning saw me spend 4 hours or so decontaminating, then protecting the paintwork on this rather nice VW Scirocco 1.4 TSI. The aim of the day was to clean the paintwork as best as possible in the time given and lay some protection down for Winter, to ensure t...

I'm pretty local and would be happy to give you a hand if you wanted.

I'm looking at getting a black R, so would love to see one in the flesh anyway

Cheers,
Russ.
