    Help with the under-whelmed customer.

    Evilwrx hit the nail squarely on the head - some people are impossible to please. This customer is definitely a one-percenter.

    Petrucci Detailed: Volkswagen Red Jetta TDI

    Tornado Red is such an awesome color...when it's swirl-free. My 2003 Jetta GLI is a pain to keep clean. Excellent job on the turnaround - the 50/50s are amazing!

    Scored a few high end cars, need you help!

    First off, you sound about the same level as I am - I'm not a pro, I work from my garage and I've detailed many cars, some such as BMW M3s and M5s, Audi S4s, etc. I wouldn't even consider touching the cars you have lined up. I would be more than willing to get behind the wheel on the track...

    06 Porsche Carrera S, one picture

    I absolutely *love* the GT-3 nose. I'm thinking of buying a Cayman S for track days and putting that nose on it.

    Don't be bitter, it's not the meatballs' fault! I would be mad at the laws of physics - the meatballs were merely an innocent bystander...

    303 vs. RaggTop

    I've not used RaggTop, but I do have experience with 303 and I was amazed at how much dirt it was able to remove. I think that essentially, you're comparing two very good products. Good luck with your detail - convertibles are fun because the polish and LSP processes seem to go so quickly!

    Which Leather Treatment?

    I have similar "matte" leather in my 2003 Jetta GLI. I use DP Interior Cleaner to clean the leather and Griot's Leather Lotion. It retains the matte look quite well (and smells great, too!). As always, make sure the leather is very warm when you do the cleaning/lotion process.

    Horrible swirl marks!

    Very nice turnaround! Reminds me of a Hyundai Elantra I just did last weekend that belongs to a friend's Mom. It was a similar color to your car. It's a 2003 and had never been waxed. As you can imagine, there was a ton of contamination, swirls, scratches, etc. My process was clay, XMT #3...

    Favorite Waxes for Each Color

    I use Souveran paste on my Tornado Red Jetta. It practically glows in the dark. I've used Souveran liquid on several cars of various colors, and they all looked stunning afterwards.

    Would you be nervous detailing this?

    There is a guy in my neighborhood that has two of them. And he is always detailing them on some level - washing, vacuuming, etc. The one looks exactly like the one above - it looks brand new. :xyxthumbs:

    Souveran

    Similar, but not quite the same. For me, the depth is better with the paste than with the liquid. That might vary with different paints, though. I use the paste from April through October and the liquid during the winter (on top of Duragloss 301). I use the paste wax on my red Jetta, and I...

    Modded cars

    Lots of amazing cars in this thread! Seems as if most of you track, drag or autocross your cars - it's so hard to keep the car looking as we would like when you're out there beating on it! Here's mine - a 2003 Jetta GLI (24v VR6 w/ 6-speed manual). It has been all over the place. It was owned...

    The Most OCD Thing You Do To Your Car

    It's amazing how birds will miss every beat up car in the lot, and nail your car like it's their job. I'm always cleaning my wheels. That's my OCD.
