Got another snap of my baby. Detailed her myself using Duragloss 111 (two coats) as recommended by CCP. Considering maybe another coat. I like the sealant and the gloss so far, but do you guys have any suggestions for sealants or waxes that gives even more pop to the candy white?

Hope you guys don't mind my pic-whoring

Great shot!!!!
Thats some serious shine.....photo untouched?
Looking forward to doing our first mini detail also....clay bar at the ready
CCP recommended Duragloss or Nanolex sealant (re Golf), steered me towards sealants as opposed to waxes - due to colour.

Edit update; forgot to add, I went for the Nanolex because it lasted longer.....plus now use the Nanolex shampoo which is great.

Thanks
I did some editing to the photo as a whole but no particular touching up the car.
CCP also recommended the same thing to me with the sealants. I was initially going to go with nanolex but they said duragloss would do the same job for much less. So I'm quite glad you noticed the shine hehe

Nanolex will last longer, that is the benefit of it. If you buy the correct nanolex shampoo, you will also keep layering protection on every time you wash it.

Stick to synthetic sealants, they make the car look much shinier hwich is good for white. I use Zaino products personally.

Picking up my car tomorrow after work from Barlow World Mascot. I'm not really familiar with Sydney, as I haven't had a car since I moved here. Anyone know of a decent road, which isn't far out, that I can use to give my car a moderately warm run in on?

Cheers Gavs. That was what I was told by CCP. May I ask which products of Zaino you use? How do they compare to other products you've used?

Came back from Dubbo over the weekend. Sustained two tiny rock chips to windscreen on the bottom right corner (thanks Mr Road Train), and a cracked licence plate cover. Any one know how to repair the tiny chips? It's probably 1-2mm in diameter.
Might have also been caught out by a mobile speed camera as speedo was reading 120km/hr, but i'm hoping thanks to VW's overcompensation for speed, I might have been just on 110km/hr.
However, it was a fun drive, and had a great time at the zoo and got some nice shots.

My personal favourite

Awesome shot!!! How long was your exposure?

[GTI mk6]

Wow, Daniel...that shot is simply awesome!!! The candy white sure stands out....love the shot.

Regarding the speed camera.....er um...speedo on our Polo is only out by aprox 2-3 k's comparing with GPS.
Much closer than our Golf which is approx 7 - 8 kms out @ 100kmph....sorry but doesn't look too promising on that front
