My wife decided to get rid of our gas guzzling kid hauler in favor of something more wallet friendly. The only involvement I had in the deal was to request that the dealer did not prep the car and when we got it that I could swap out the stock wheels for a set of RS6 replicas.
My process :
Wash w/ Gold Class via foam gun
Clay w/ megs clay
FPII on a white LC VC pad
(spread w/ PC on 1 polish w/ PC on 5)
Prime by hand
AJ x 1 by hand
Top w/ S100

Very nice car! There is a VW section of an auto dealership where I just bought my truck and I couldn`t stop drooling over some of those VW`s on the lot!

Thanks for all of the kind words.
SHICKS - The motor is a 1.9L turbo diesel. Its only rated at 100 hp but it feels pretty good due to all the low end torque. I was worried about it being a dog to drive but it is not bad at all and I get around 40 mpg without even trying.
Tabinha - Thanks... Me and the wife couldn`t be happier in this community. We moved in about two years ago and it has been there about five years give or take.
Joshua312 - I`m pretty sure it is 35%. The dealership already had it tinted for another buyer that didn`t go through with the purchase.
04cobra - Those pshops are great. I can already feel my wallet getting lighter.
ajbarnes - I know what you mean. I had a hard time picking the right one.
