Great Jetta VR6 Pictures!

Corey and I had a couple cars to take care of this saturday and sunday out his way in buffalo. I have alot of pictures as well as a video of several cars, but for tonight this is all i am posting!

I want to start with the videos:
Corey decided to make this because of the recent posts about pictures being taken at "special" angles, or in the shade etc... So this video is for all of the "no trees" folks

Right Click Save As


Now for the Pics, The car was pretty badly swirled, and needed a decent ammount of polishing (that seemed to be the trend of this weekend!!) So the process for this was a Rotary using a meguiars W1000 polishing pad and DACP. This was followed by the PC and Wolfgang prewax polish, then wolfgang sealant to top it off. The tires had poorboys bold and bright, the trim had trim restore, and the glass was cleaned with IG, and topped with VM as was the chrome. The wheels and tires were cleaned with hi-intensity, and wheels waxed with collinite. Now for the shots:

Before:




Half polished:


After:




Some deeper marks that wouldn't go away:


Last one:


There are more pictures, and these pictures in ultra high resolution availabile BY CLICKING HERE FOR THE GALLERY


This car took us quite a long time. The owner actually hung out for the job and asked us some questions, and really seemed interested in maintaining his finish, and keeping the car looking nice. It made me feel good that he cared!

Let us know what you think

Tpgsr did most of the work. Well ok:

He washed and clayed (much before I got there with the GTP).

He used the rotary and I followed with the PC, white pad, and wolfgang pre polish. He applied the sealant.

I got the interior carpets, leather, side panels, he applied 303. We each did two wheels. I did the door jams and I'm getting better at getting them, but that VW rust-inhibitor gunk is fun to get off. Tarminator takes care of it.

Oh I know I'm forgetting a lot of what he did, but he did a lot.

Edit: VW clearcoat seems very hard!!!!

Thanks. The paint at certain parts felt like i was working on a black mercedes. I have done Volkswagons, but never a black one. Maybe they share the same black paint as its big brother AUDI. Not sure, but it was almost as hard to polish as the black GTP i am going to post later
