I want my car to survive college, thanks.

Yep, works for everything! Its $60 for 20ml but you can probably do just paint with near 5ml for your GTI, near 10ml if you do everything. Covers plastics well and just seals them, not very much in the visual appeal but it will prevent fading in the future which is a +.

Pretty sure Phil stocks it here: http://www.detailersdomain.com/Optimum-Opti-Coat-2_p_326.html

 

Sounds good, I think I'm gonna go with Opti-Coat and will be ordering it in a few days!

 

How's the beading like? Does it bead or sheet water off? I searched on youtube but I think those are all the old versions of the Aquartz and not the newer ones where you apply with wet towel.

 

Ordering the Opti-Coat today, anything else I should order with it?

 

A few new applicator pads (IIRC they are generally one-time use as the Opti-Coat residue hardens).
