I've got a Leon FR - You'll find like all VAG cars the paint is pretty hard, so i would really suggest a machine polish, but if you don't want to start that yourself or pay someone to do it you can't really beat Autoglym Super Resin polish if you're going to do it by hand...

Use a decent foam applicator pad such as Sonus SFX http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/access...2/prod_31.html

Or the other ones are good too, Zaino http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/zaino/.../prod_462.html

Or the Ultimate German one http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/access.../prod_280.html

They usually have a soft side and a more abrasive side, use the abrasive side for applying the Polish, and the soft side to add your Wax or Sealant....

As far as Paste waxes go, the best value for money is probably Meguiars #16 Paste Wax, it's cheap as you really only need the smallest amount - Don't spread too much on otherwise you'll spend ages (i mean hours) trying to buff it off again. Best to get the surface nicely polished first, the Wax will then add a really nice deep wet look. Yellow should come up well!

(You may get it a bit cheaper if you google it)
