    OK - lets hear from you about what products are your MUST for use on your Mark V, especially:
    - polishing
    - washing
    - tyres
    - interior
    - anything else?

    Cool Same Here

    Yeah;

    If anyone could pass on what they use on their leather interior that would be great. I have the anthracite leather in my 2008 GTI and need to protect it. Also any good body polish. Thanks - See Ya Round Brissy

    I was thinking of getting the leather care stuff through VW itself. I'd hate to think how much it costs. I will have latte so need to take extra TLC of it.

    Megs Tyre Shine with megs aplicator
    - interior
    Vinylex with MF cloth
    - anything else?
    Wax: Mazerna FF on an edge White pad with a low setting on the RO
    or if I want super wet look P21s hand applied.
    Clay bar as I am close to the ocean also.

    Heres a good trick with leather interiors, treat like them like your beloved lounges at home and your seats will be better for it. No automotive leather treatment comes remotely close to the even the middle range leather treatments (no IKEA crap either) which although may cost around the $60 mark for a cleaner and conditioner are well worth it.

    Hope that helped!

    I use Armorall Wash & Wax on the MK V and just soapy water or vacuum for interior.

    Haven't conditioned leather before or polished so I may just give Mum a gift cerificate for both
