Hi Guys
After picking up my TTRS about 2 months ago after moving on from the Scirocco , i was itching for a weekend where i could spend trying to bring the car back up to a standard i am somewhat happy with. I absolutely loved the car from the moment i got it , but always cringed a bit when i caught a glimpse under bad lighting. The swirls were horrific and the whole car was affected.
I knew i wouldn't be able to enjoy the car properly until i spent some time on it with the polisher. Here are some befores - it is hard to capture swirls on camera.
The rear wing was one of the most affected areas , the previous owners wash techniques must have been horrific :roll:
Some after shots - definite gloss improvement and a lot of the swirls removed
I documented the whole process in a blog post if anyone is interested in trying it themselves.

Thanks Guys
It does take a bit of effort alright but well worth it in my opinion - saying that , i do enjoy the process too!
I can see why some people wouldn't.
