Clean Up
I gave my car a good clean on SAT, started with a good wash, engine bay, wheel well, interior all included. Then clayed using Megs clay, unfortunately i couldnt do any paint correction (i have some swirls and fine scratches), I tried applying some Megs UC by hand (as i dont have a DA YET) but that didnt work out so i just gave the car a good wax using Megs Gold Class Wax.

Here are some pics:

Nicely done Wayno ... your ride is still looking good ... Clap

..."...I tried applying some Megs UC by hand (as i dont have a DA YET) but that didnt work out..."...

I haven't used Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, but what was the "didn't work out" part/issue with the UC ... didn't it help to remove the swirls? Hand application too much effort? etc...

RE: Clean Up
Lovely work Wayno and great attention to detail Thumb

I had 2 Hankooks (225/40/18) on my previous GTI after I had a 6 inch bolt go through one of my tires. Never had any issues with them although I only covered around 10k km with them before flogging the car Thumb

The tailights are extremely easy to remove, wont even take you a minute!!! You just need the correct spline key to remove the bolts... Clap I just vacumed the interior and gave it a wipe down, thats all it needed!!!
