I just worked on this client’s GT350 and he wanted the same ‘treatment’ for his Golf R. Paint was in very good shape, a few minor swirls and a lot of water spots. Black trim was hammered as per the norm for these pieces. Let’s get to work!

The ‘details’:


Adam’s shampoo.

McKee’s 37 Iron remover.
Adam’s wheel cleaner.
Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
Scan grip and GYEON lighting.
DeFelsko PTG.
Flex Supa Beast.
Misc. foam pads.
Griot’s correcting cream.
Griot’s perfecting cream.
Adam’s surface prep.

Adam’s graphene ceramic coating.

Ranger quickjack.
McKee’s 37 APC.
McKee’s 37 wheel coating.
GYEON tire dressing.
Auto Finesse glass cleaner.
Metro vacuum.
McKee’s37 quick interior detailer.
GYEON leather.
Pinnacle exhaust cleaner and brightener.


Thanks for looking!

Sizzle Chest:
Are the two wheel mounting guide studs in the one photo of the rear hub unique for VW or are they something from Porsche that just happen to "fit" a VW hub?

Is that white tape I see on the seals around the black plastic door center column trim? Just curious if it is and who is the manufacturer?

Is the Pinnacle Exhaust Cleaner and Brighten the ONLY car-care product you use on them and is it designed for really dirty exhausts??
I ask because I end up using Optimum Power Clean, Optimum Metal Polish, and 3M Synthetic 000 Steel Wool and "elbow grease" to de-carbonize the inside of badly blackened/carbonized exhaust tubes.

Great work on this stellar midnight blue Golf R. It is quite the sleeper car and the epitome of a hot little hatch back. The dual-clutch automatic and the all-wheel drive makes it a very appealing year-round driver, especially in the "Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field" area where I live.

Awesome job I like that blue too. You have a nice set up I like the more recent VW colors have you ever seen the semi gloss grey without any flake they use on GTI and GLI it’s a great color

[Dragls]

Great work!

How many hours does it take you to complete a jod?

Example the VW.

[Sizzle Chest]

Thanks all!

Lonnie: Not specific to VW. Porsche, BMW, VW, Aston, I believe use the same or 1 of 3 different thread pitches/sizes.
Nope, not white tape, just how the photo is showing the rubber trim/gaskets.
Pinnacle: It works on dirty exhaust, I don`t know about hammered!
It`s a cool car!!

William, I have, and I LIKE it!!!

Dragls: 20 hours and change I guess...don`t keep track of it anymore!
