That looks perfect! What was the pink cloth used on the window?

 

Looks great. Did you use the plastic cleaner on the leather seat as well?

 

Phil's Uber High Tech Glass Microfiber Towel
http://www.detailersdomain.com/Uber-Hi-Tech-Glass-Microfiber-Towel_p_588.html

When I opened the box with mine in it my initial reaction was, "Is this some kind of joke?" - They're super thin. Actually they work really well although I haven't had mine long enough to judge how they'll hold up.

The Golf R looks really great, mercifully free from stupid drop.

 

Great work Phil. What a beaut.

 

Looks fantastic, great work! Im surprised the owner wanted the car debadged... To each his own i guess

 

if you look closely the badge was on crooked.

 

Nice, thanks. My green ones have not stopped linting despite multiple washes and it's driving me insane because they leave millions of little hairs on the glass. I will have to pick up some of the pink ones on my next order

 

It looks great Phil !!

 

Oh wow. Youd think with only 5000 made for north america theyd get that kind of stuff right.

 

I would say that's due to the towel picking up lint DURING the wash. My uber green glass ones have little/no lint, usually none.

Also, great job Phil, nice to see a black one. I've Opti-coated 4 Golf R's so far and every single one was the same blue color.

 

thanks guys yup I believe this is our 3rd Golf R with a few more on the way.

 

That makes sense since I have been washing all my MF together. I will try and run them through separately. Thanks for the advice!

 

Great job Phil and Dan!

 

damn with your skills, im so jelly..

 

wow that came out looking flawless. You are blessed to have access to such fantastic products at your shop!

How are you liking that Griots Polisher? I seem to see it in a lot of your details.

 

yes we are definitely blessed to have great customer and a nice shop.

as far as the Griot's we use it about 90% of the time and have a bunch in the shop.

 

Nice work Phil- What shampoo did you use in your foam cannon for the wash (Megs hyperwash)? Also do you add W99 in with your shampoo to help decon as well or do you spray W99 directly onto the paint and allow it to dwell?

 

Washed with 1Z einszett W99, let it sit a bit and then rinse.

 

Phil making sure "Tightness" was adhered too, I have a White one coming in next Tuesday Phil and me likey this car(With BBS wheels though).
