Booth11 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 And it definitely pays off in the long run, retaining value with well maintained paintwork. That's very true. Certainly the case when I sold my Mk6 GTI to another enthusiast on another forum. I never got as far as putting it up for sale, it sold itself on the strength of the well documented level of care (not just detailing) throughout its life, and lived up to that in the flesh. Current owner still sends me pics of it - still looking great too as he looks after it well. Dan_7R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_7R Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 You'd love to meet one of my neighbours. Whenever I wash the car at home, if this one particular guy passes. He will, without fail tell me to get a coating put on it so I don't need to wash it. Shame he's only ever taken his Focus to what looks like a sanding shop as under direct sunlight it's no better than any other car out there!! lol the sanding shop! I love this...!

I looked at some of the pictures the dealer put up after I traded it and the beading looked incredible on the wet photos they had. None of the others matched up, not even the new ones Went and had look a few days after id collected my R, and she was the nicest one on the forecourt Booth11 and ashleyman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually scratch that......I'd love to have a detailing debate with him. I'd bring my Clulite swirl spotting LED torch with me for the occasion. We could have a 'swirl off' at dusk.
