DD: VW Golf with 165k on it

Not the best one we have ever done but we got it to look okay

This car was truly one of the worst cars we have ever done, 3 guys, 3 1/2 hours.

Complete engine, exterior, and interior detail.

Here are some pictures, however we were so tired at the end we didn't get as many after shots.

Exterior
1. Cleaned the car with the ABC system from Valuguard, (industrial strength stuff)
this system takes about 35 minutes for a car like this.
2. Clay bar, used Adam's Clay Bar and Adam's Detail Spray for clay lube.
3. Swirl Removal with Adam's Swirl and Haze
4. Polished the car with Adam's Revive Polish
5. Waxed the car with Adam's Butter Wax
6. Dressed Tires, with Adam's VRT, cleaned window with Adam's Glass Cleaner.

Engine
----------------------------
1. Sprayed P21S Auto Wash (degreaser) on the engine and brushed the soiled areas good.
2. Hosed off the engine
3. Waited for it to dry, then dressed with Adam's VRT and Adam's In and Out

Interior
----------------------------
1. Vacuumed, Vacuumed, Vacuumed
2. Cleaned cloth seats with Adam's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner (note to self need to get a steam cleaner) the cloth seats were horrible we really needed more help from a steamer.
3. Cleaned and dressed interior with Adam's VRT.

I'm sure I missed something in there but here are the pics.

Thanks for looking.

That is pretty damn impressive. Very nice detail! I have a big weak spot for Golfs, probably because I grew up in them. Those suckers go forever, I'm not surprised at 165K out of this one.

Great work as usual Phil!

 

Thanks very very much it was hot that day I remember that much.

 

great turn around, but im impressed its not all rusted with 164k on the clock.
It looks great

 

A little off topic but what kind of wash bucket is that? Is the lid press on?

 

its an adams polishes bucket (i belive phil sells them) They are great buckets. I love mine.

as for the lid, its actually a screw on lid. You can also get wheels for the bucket so you can sit on it.

The screw lid is great, i can mix onr, put the lid on and go where i need to go

 

Who might Phil be............

Man three guys going at that one, that's wicked..you could call that a Mini detail fest :rollinglaugh:

The vehicle looks great buddy, I'm curious what do you use to do carpets with? Do you have an extractor? If so which one do you use? Just wondering that's all.

Vehicle looks great, the engine bay is wicked :awesome::awesome:

Thank you for sharing :thumb:

what's crazy is I've been using Adam's Carpet and Upholstery on all of these


I will be getting an extractor in about a week.
