My old man has a 2003 VW Golf GTI in a dark grayish colour..Lovely car but its looking a bit tired and lost its shine,And water doesnt run off it anymore..
i know it needs a good professional detailing but theyre expensive..like £250+ and they need the car for 2 days minimum which isnt no good as he relies on it daily like most people.
So..What steps can we do ourselves to bring back its shine?,Obviously it wont be as good as a proper detail but anything than leave it as it is.
Been looking at these detailing stuff you can get from well known car parts suppliers,Looking at reviews they're pretty good but who knows if these reviews are just written by the manufacturers.
Or would it be better to go for a Paste wax in the tin?
What steps would you recommend?..what to clean the car with first before doing this sort of Wax/Detail spray?
We have a pressure washer so we can give it a good clean before.
appreciate the help.
