I polished it with my Griot's DA using a white CCS Pad, and Optimum Spray Polish, the used my free sample of Blackfire Wet Diamond. I used some TR-3 Resin Glaze on the wheels.

I was surprised how little the white pad cut, it did leave some light straight line swirls (from the dealership's prep), but looks like it got rid of most the acid rain spots, and if nothing else added a little gloss. The Optimum polish and BFWD were both very easy to remove. What do you guys think?

I just got the car last week and like it so far. The only options it has are the DSG transmission, TDI rubber mat kit, sunroof, and the 400 watt Fender stereo w/ subwoofer :)

Second order of business will be to add another coat of BFWD and top it with something. Third order of business will be installing the front bumper plugs and have a clear bra put on. Haven't thought about interior products yet...it has cream leatherette.

Looks nice! White is a great color

Nice! I have a 2012 SEL Premium in Candy White. The clear is HARD on these cars. Takes a pretty aggressive combo to tackle even the light stuff.

I really like the Duragloss products on this car. 105, 501...both with 601. AW as icing on the cake.

For the interior, I simply use Megs QID. Works well and no shine.

Enjoy. Previously had a TDI. I do miss it in many ways. Fender stereo is nice, isnt it?

Great, I have a new bottle of QID, but it's been so long since I used it I forgot if it was shiny or matte. Definitely going for matte. I do remeber how great it makes the interior smell. Never had the pleasure of trying Duragloss anything unfortunately. I am loving the stereo with the touchscreen and Sat radio! I'm ok with how the polishing came out, I know I shouldn't remove too much clear so soon, but white pad is really soft, I should have just used it to spread the sealant.

Forgot to add this semi closeup. I need a better camera and to take a photography class haha.

Smart choice on a car! This is sooooooooooo much better then a prius! I test drove one of those (petrol) and liked it a lot! Very roomy, drives very nice!
