    Got some stuff to give the car a good clean lads, but im very new to this and wouldnt mind a few pointers off some of the deatiling enthusiasts here, metzermeister, eringobragh etc! I got CG maxi sudds, clay bar, Cg blacklight and hybrid v7. Any pointers or tips you guys can give me? I'd really appreciate it! :D

    Are you just sealing it up or doing any correction work?...Haven't familiarised myself with LSP techniques yet but Vectra or MM are good allrounders and should be able to point you in the right direction.

    Indeed, the length of the doors on a 3 door would be a good but longer than the 5 door front doors.

    Bah, i don't know what to call them.

    The entrance in the boot of the Jag is noticeably smaller than the Golf. Still can fit in just about enough but it's slightly more awkward.

    Practicality has to be compromised for looks, i suppose.
