So a long time member of a local racing group I'm a part of found a super deal on a 2011 VW Touareg TDI including over 47k in additional warranty left on this beast. Keep in mind she clocks-in here with over 140 on the odometer too.
Loaded with all the goodies from the Executive package including 20" wheels this beast not only can pull but she looks great. Timeless design really. Inside the seats look like they have maybe 15k miles on them it's that nice.
Outside however, Chad was really in need of getting her some love and thanks to many of you on the CR FB Group he put his trust in me to bring her back and shave off a few years of scrapes, fading, swirl city and then some.
Being this is his daily driver and budget is always a factor, we selected my Premium Enhancement Polish Package combined with a dual layer ceramic coating. He also added in a trim restoration and coating to bring the before very faded plastics on the outside back. One last thing were the roof rails that are anodized aluminum and on many German Brands they were badly stained. Patrick had this on his TDI Wagon and just like there, I knew I could fix them up like new.
Pics tell a thousand words, so onto them vs more text.
As you can see the starting point overall was rough and amplified by it being a pure black color.
The doors were really bad
The Hood wasn't much better
With a little love (lots of sweat) and some help from my new Flex XCE Polisher and some great CarPro Products, she's like new again.
Trim coatings are by far one of the best options to pick
Reflections off the Hood
My process here involved the New Flex XCE 10-8 125 Polisher teamed up with both CarPro Clear Cut and Essence using Lake Country Orange 5.5" pads. Topped with CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0 and Trim completed with both Solution Finish for the hood cowling and GYEON Q2 Trim for the rest.
