Reflection is very poor for a car of that age/condition

Think it may have something to do with the colour...not the condition of the paint...

car cleaning seems to be an obsession with some 
I think i'm border line with the 911.
The only times i really used it during the summer was to take it out and wash/polish it

How is that then? You can still se the reflection coming through, but obviously hasnt been worked on enough to have a decent one. Iv worked on plenty yellow cars and always get a reflection out of it.

This is a 106 GTi remember - it goes so fast it strips itself of all lacquer, paint, shit, the body work is 5mm thinner than when it come off the assembly line - may be that is why it sits so high?!

I fail to see how someone can be professional when they can't even spell it.
With yellow it is very hard to get a decent picture of a reflection due to the surroundings, if it were black it would have a far greater reflection.
Looks like a great job to me.
