Washing/Caring for new mk6

[Ankush]

Dan sorry if this is dumb, but can u use nanolex sealant and then wax or is that a overkill?

You can but its not recommended by the manufacturer of Nanolex as they say it interferes with its ability to self clean

I would personally suggest a wax if you're going to be washing it regularly yourself, because that way you can top it up with red mist or aquawax or something and it will look better; if you're not going to wash it regularly/if it isn't going to get much love then go with a sealant and top it with quick detailers every now and then for more durable sealant protection.

Thanks guys. Mike did set me up with all the stuff required. Just wondering what products are recommended for tyre shine.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Depends what you want; and what you don't mind about lol.

The more shine you want, the more sling you'll get (black spots on the side). 303 tends to leave a nice black sheen, low gloss but no sling. There's other stuff out there that gives a bit more sheen but it will sling off as it never really dries properly.

Of course if you don't mind the sling and just clean it off whenever you clean the car (not hard to do, just normal) then that's fine.

Well worth getting your car professionally detailed from the get-go IMHO. Mario from Euro Gloss Prestige worked on my month old MK6 the whole of today, absolutely top bloke and as the pictures will prove - absolutely top work as well. Couldn't be happier with the results!
