    Afternoon gents,

    Not the most exciting of details here, but this is the daily driver of the '08 Golf R32 I maintain for him, so I had to show it some love.

    Pic of his R32, what a beaut!

    It has not been washed in 2.5 years, so needless to say, we had to be a bit aggressive.

    1) Soak with CG Citrus Wash 'n Gloss / Simple Green
    2) Wash with CG Citrus Wash 'n Gloss & dry with Absorber
    3) Poorboys SSR2.5 on CCS Orange Pad via PC on speed 6
    4) CG Jetseal 109
    5) CG Pete's '53

    6) Stoners on Windows
    7) AA Tire Gel toppped with PB Natural Look on tires
    8) Poorboys Natural Look on interior plastic
    9) Folex on carpets/interior
    10) Mats soaked in washed with APC

    Enjoy!

    Awesome job buddy. GG 2.5 years, I would pull my hair out ! LOL!! CG Citrus Wash 'n Gloss / Simple Green, was this with a foam gun?

    Always awesome pics you take. You need to teach me how to use a camera!LOL

    Sparkie, the good news is that DB now has its photography thread, hopefully we can all learn a bit from each other.

    The LSP on the R32 has been Zaino twice now, the customer loves it too much for me to put anything else on there. It does look quite stunning on the VAG paint I must say.

    P1et my man a great great job! I am loving the JetSeal followed by Pete's 53! I guess the Golf R32 was just a little foreplay!

    Thanks Wolf!!! Initially I wanted to Creme Glaze it before Jetsealing, but I opted for a bit more protection rather than looks because it will see a tad more abuse.

    I hadn't used the Pete's in a while and must say, fell in love again! Fantastic product.

    Hey I am loving the Creme Glaze/JetSeal combo as well. I used it the other day on an 08 Avalon and it looked great. I really wanted to top it with Pete's but ran out of time. I think we have good taste :thumb:!

    It's all about timing on my end as well. Usually, I don't want to apply more than two layers of product after I'm done polishing. Do I do a little glaze? Some sealant? Some wax?

    Oh, life and its decisions!
