Default Quick Clean of the MkV R32

Well the other half has owned the R32 for a little while now and apart from upgrading the audio system slightly, I haven't really had much time in doing much to it…

As the days weren't overly cold and I had some spare time on my hands, I thought I would treat it to a winter detail!

Process was;

Wash : Duragloss Shampoo
Clay : Meguires
Small Details : Meguires APC
Dry : Drying towel (massive blue one from Elite Car Care)
Polish : G Techniq P1 Polish with green Hex pad followed by Megs finishing pad
Sealant : G Techniq C1 with Exo v2 applied 12 hours later
Glass : Rain x
Engine Bay : Aerospace 303
Hoover : Henry
Tyre shine : Autoglym Tyre Dressing
Wheel sealant : Non applied as the wheels are going to be changed

Hope you like

Easy mate to be honest…but as this is an early R32 (Pre 2008 I think it is), you have to change the CANBUS gateway and code it all again otherwise the unit doesn't power down and eventually drains the battery.

Cracking bit of kit as it has CD card, touch screen, DVD, sat nav etc

My Golf is 2007 so think I'll have to do CANBUS update. I want the same unit as yours, seen other similar looking ones, but minus dab or satnav. Need to make sure I get the right one.
