In advance of getting the new motor I thought I should give my old Golf a spruce up, and learn how to properly wash, clay bar, polish, wax etc a car.
 
 Took 4 hours! I did all except machine polishing it (too worried I'll cock it up and scratch the paint - might get a pro to do it soon as I have lots of small scratches and swirls), but the end result was rather magnificent! Check out the shine and those brand new-looking alloys...   
 
 PS Apologies for the crap quality photo, was from my phone and it was a crappy day so high ISO noise.
