    The owner of this vehicle contacted me to get the exterior of his GTI cleaned up and prepped for winter. The vehicle did have some light swirling and scratches but we agreed on just a protection detail for now. A light correction will be done come spring. He works around a construction area so when I arrived the vehicle had a thick layer of dust and debris on it. Only before/after shots on this one.

    Process:

    Wheels cleaned with OPC 3:1
    Tires/Wells degreased with Zep Purple 4:1
    Pre-soak with OPC 3:1
    Washed with Duragloss 902
    Decontaminated with Car Pro Trix
    Clayed with Riccardo Yellow & ONR
    Dried with Leaf Blower & Waffle Weaves
    Sealed with Menzerna Powerlock
    Tires dressed with Poorboys BnB
    Trim conditioned with Poorboys Trim Restorer
    Glass cleaned with Stoners IG
