Try using a product ~5 times. Apply, wait 10 minutes, wipe with a microfiber, repeat.

I use this stuff:

I wonder what those weird lines are about on your lower bumper, my car has the same thing...

My MKV did that too. Been a long time since I got rid of it too. Nothing ever worked. Could use Super VRT back to black, whatever and 10 min later it would look just like that pic

Maybe once it turns dull there's no turning back. My only hobby is detailing my car so luckily mine doesn't look bad

Going to go check this one out this weekend (if it's still there):

Not certified, but really low mileage so plenty of factory warranty left. Only thing that's a bit misleading is that they list a sun/moon roof, but I'm not seeing it in the photos (which is fine by me, I don't want one). Price seems about right as well.

Looks pretty nice

 

[merkeyterkey]

$20k and it has the lighting package? nice.

Exactly this.

 

[avenali312]

As far as I can tell though, no sunroof, nav, or dual-zone climate control means that it's not an Autobahn and is really just an S model with the lighting package.

Definitely an S. SE's have the leather as well as the Fender stereo option. I prefer the plaid seats especially since they're heated anyhow. MSRP of a GTI S with the 6MT was about $25,500 IIRC in 2015.

I think the trim I want doesnt exist

Lighting Package
Performance Packge (retarded option, should have been standard)
DSG
Heated Seats
Cloth
Nav
Sun Roof
Keyless entry
Fender audio

I think it would be a Autobahn with cloth interior which isn't a thing. I'm not interested in the drivers aids that the Autobahn has either.

^ I'd option mine out the same way as you Jordan, except 6MT, Fender, and 2 door.

You have to jump up to the SE and Autobahn for the sunroof.

I forgot to add Fender audio to my list. I think the SE is going to be where it's at. I can live without the nav (although I like that in my MKV it tells me what road I'm on in my MFD, I'm assuming the MK7 does the same)

BTW they don't offer a 2 door anymore, you know that yeah?

 

[g60_corrado_91]

Yeah I know lol. I'm not in the market for one. Just saying if I was. Love my Mazda 3. Now that I've owned two cars from new, I know what everyone is saying when they say Japanese cars are reliable. GTI has never left me stranded, but between the recalls and TSB's when it was new, holy fuck.

I guess I haven't really been looking at much other than VW and Audi. Not sure why. My wheel spacers will carry over, I guess. haha
