Cleaning a MK5 GTi- All you need to know (Other cars too)
#5
+1 on what was said above.

Well done on your write up and pics Clap

Your car looks great and "whatever floats your boat"

But I steer clear of high pressure washers particularly on paintwork. Not to be confused with foam guns/nozzles. I have seen too many clearcoats damaged by over jealous use of high pressure hoses. A gentle rinse to loosen and soften the dirt and lots of suds in a bucket with a wash mitt does it for me.

A degreaser is fine if you are about to do a full detail including claying, paint correction and sealing/waxing but I would not use it for an everyday wash.
