The Official Golf Mk VI Picture Thread

[Prodigy]

I had a look at the stuff prodigy purchased a while ago and that seems like a good setup, though I'm confused about the wax and sealant he got. Do you use one or the other, or both?

dave, the idea is you firstly apply the Nanolex Paint Sealant (which i believe should be similar to the opti-coat & G|Techniq which has already been discussed) and then apply the wax on top. I''ve been assured that both items are suitable for the Ventureshield so they will be going on top of that as well. Hopefully this should give the paint a good protective barrier against swirl marks and bird poop.

Hopefully by doing it all myself i will save myself a few $ and then still have product left to be able to re-apply it when required.

Can I just say that this thread has been officially RUINED by this discussion about paint protection. There are other threads for that. This is a place for sharing and commenting on peoples pics.. not their choice (or lack of choice) of paint protection.

Moderators, can something be done? Splitting this thread? I cannot believe people are being ignorant here, this is a picture thread NOT detailing!!

Fair call, Corey is it possible to have a Mk6 Detailing thread?

I've seen your posts, and others, and I already said I'll work on this. (A few pages back).
Please stop complaining. None of this talk is stopping anyone from posting pictures. If people stop talking, there still won't be any pictures, there just won't be any talking! We're not paid to moderate this forum, and there is a few hours work required in tyding up this thread. Right now, everyone has permission to talk as much as you want, because I don't have time to clean it up. I'll do that when I do have time...

You should get paid the amount of time & effort you put into the site ..... Not that I'm offering ...

Don't tell me you're one of those people that like synthetic sealers great idea but IMO it just takes something out of the paint, makes it look a bit like plastic actually especially on black cars. Though I have only used klasse and poorboys ex-p so maybe some others are different.

I've never used anything like this before, this will be the first time i've ever used a paint protection product on my car. I'm hoping it won't make the paint look 'like plastic' as you mention, especially once i go over it with a good quality wax.

Interesting stuff, don't think I have the attention span to do it though.

Have read that quite a bit and I'm not interested in doing a wax every ~2mths which goes back to the cbf part. Don't think I'll bother with PPF either. Looks like I'm running the gauntlet, unprotected hehe

Fair enough, i'm hoping it's going to last longer than a couple of months before re application is required though.
As for the PPF, that's booked in for Thursday so i'll post some pics of the results, all going well it may change your mind about going out there without protection..
