2011 VW Routan

[SYMAWD]

Unfortunately I don't have any before pictures but I guess you can take my word that in 4 years it has never been polished and has seen its fair share of automatic car washes. But now it's time to put it up for sale and replace it, so a good detail was in order.

Here is what I used.

Tires: Adam's APC and CG carpet brush (perfect for tires)
Fender liners, Engine bay, Trunk jambs: Adam's APC with CG goat brush
Wheels: Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner, CG Goat Brush and EZ Detail Mini
Wash: CG Citrus Wash and Gloss with an Adam's Foam Gun and synthetic wool wash pad
Decontamination: CG fine grade clay with diluted Adam's Rinseless Wash for lube
Compound: Meguiar's Ultimate Compound with Uber orange med. polish pad with GG6
Polish: Meguiar's Ultimate Polish with Uber green polish pad with GG6
Paint & Glass Protection: HD Poxy
Plastic Restorer & Protection: Solution Finish
Tire Dressing: Croftgate Tire Cleaner and Shine
Door Jambs: Adam's Waterless Wash
Interior Surfaces: Adam's Leather and Interior Cleaner
Glass: SON1C Wax Protoglass
Carpet: HD Total


























Seats flip back if you want to sit facing out the back at some sort of event.

Holy crap, that's the best looking minivan I've ever seen, period!

The Uber pads are basically Buff and Shine pads right?

Was the paint the typical hard paint Volkswagen's have? I've never been able to get the level of cut I'd prefer with Ultimate Compound in hard German paints, but your close ups loom flawless.

Thank you. Uber pads are believed to be Buff and Shine but I don't think that it was ever confirmed by anyone.

It's actually Chrysler paint (they made these for VW). It wasn't super hard.

Thank you. The van was nice for my parents for taking my brother and me to college and having to move a bunch of stuff, but it's no longer needed and they are wanting an Audi Q5.

Well, no one bought it and it was just traded into the dealer who gave us $2,000 more than any private offer + you get a trade in tax credit in NJ. Replaced it with a 2016 Q5 3.0t.
