Hi all took the advice on here regarding products (including doing a bit of reading) - very happy with the results ! Not up to the standards of some that you see here but was after a durable shine. Its washed with Autoglym shampoo first then cleaned with tcut colour restorer and scratch hider (the coloured polish stuff) to get rid of the existing damage to the pant followed with four coats of Collinite 476 and the Collinite protector. Wheels are cleaned using the Autoglym cleaner (most impressed) and the black bits again with Autoglym cleaner. Interior leather is using some Connelly leather products I have from my biking days that i used to use on my leathers and worked a treat!

Wheels then coated in 3 coats of Collinite again to give some protection

All interior black cleaned again with the Autoglym except the 'wood' used furniture polish for that - seemed to work a treat

Glass cleaned using again Autoglym

now pouring with rain and muddy puddles everywhere and driving down to Exeter on the motorway later - so will look filthy when finished .... agggghhh !

i spent about the same amount of time on my car and have similar results to your by the looks of the phoios. I thought it's meant to bead evenly if it's a good job. Mine has some streaks like yours on the bonnet, i'm not happy.

i went over with a dry microfibre cloth and the beading is more even now.

Sum good work there the car looks like new

Looks pristine that, very nice, I'm a big fan of cream leather as long as its clean! I put the whole lot even the trim and carpets in my wifes Golf as a christmas present as her old interior was all black, now I have to spend hours cleaning it every month - didn't think about that when I put it in!!!!

Now then, Please sell me every piece of your interior so that I can put it in my vRS!!!! lol
