VW bug

[dgoff07]

well, this car wasnt too bad. i did it about a month ago. the owner didnt want perfection and i didnt have nearly enough time for it anyway.

the entire car got one pass of hi-temp 357 magnum on a white lc. never used the magnum before and am definitely using it again! then it got poli-seal on a green lc. (all on the pc) the door jams were poli-sealed as well. tires got optimum`s dressing. wheels got klasse. windows polished with one grand and cleaned with sprayway. i dont remember what i used on the trim! interior was apc`d. all the carpet was vac`d and extracted. painted trim pieces got poli-seal by hand. all other trim got 303. seats received the lexol treatment. i cleaned up the engine too, dressed it with tire foam after a power wash, but didnt grab any photos of it.



all in all i was pretty pleased. i was surprised how beat up all the lights were, but they look a bit better now:chuckle:







well i forgot to take befores so they are all of just one area...

the rest of the car was comparable, but the hood was a little worse.

thanks for the kind words everyone! the car has about 70000 miles on it now. it was bought new by the current owner, but it was a floor model though, so it wasn`t in tiptop shape when she received the car. when she saw it after i finished, she didnt even go home, she went straight to the dealer where she bought it to show them what a "new car should look like"!! every one there was apologizing to her and they offered her a complimentary first checkup... she was really confused as the car was 3 years old with 70000 miles on it... they thought she just bought it! they even checked the odo because they didnt believe her! that just made me feel so good!
