This car belongs to my younger sister. She had been driving an 01 VW Jetta in black for the past three years. She drove it every day while attending The Art Institute of Atlanta. She has owned one brand new car before (right before the Jetta) and some dude ran a red light and totalled that one for her. Anyway, she wanted to get another brand new car as soon as she graduated and got a decent job. She graduated, and she got a decent job so she began the shop. She optioned out this car exactly how she wanted it. It`s an SE with leather, nav, JBL audio and it really is a nice car. Oh well, enough braggin on my lil sis. I`m very proud of her. The car was in really nice shape, she ordered it and had to wait for a few weeks to get it, and when it came in she picked it up that day. The dealer did wash it, but suprisingly, they didnt do a terrible job other than that stupid tire shine they use that ended up all over the side of the car within the first mile she drove. OK, onto the detail.



It really didnt need heavy polishing, so I wanted to get it shined up and protected. I reached for the Klasse Twins on this one.



AIO on an LC polishing pad at speed 4 on all paint and glass.

KSG by hand x2 on paint.

Megs Hot Shine on the tires.



You`ll notice there is some fog in the pics. It was so smokey outside this morning. The forest fires going on in South GA have sent plenty of smoke our way up here. If you didnt know better, you would think someone`s house in the neighborhood caught on fire. The smell and the smoke..Anyway, I`m blaming the smokey air (coupled with my lack of photography skillZ) for the not so great pics.

I didnt actually detail the motor, but here`s a pic anyway.

I am going to try to get her to get a clear bra for it. Other than that, I think it`ll be a great car for years to come.



Thanks for looking.

Looks really nice! From what I can see in the pictures, maybe your lens is dirty? It seems like it`s always the right side of each picture that seems to be having a "smoke" effect.

All I can keep thinking is `Dude, your tires look really great. Dude your tires look really great. Dude, your...` Overall it`s a nice job too though:D Did you do any claying?

Thanks. The tires have Megs Hot shine from the pump spray bottle (not he aersol or the gel). I didnt do any claying. I used the plastic baggy test and the car was smooth as could be after the ONR wash.
