Evenin',

This VW was an absolute treat to work on. It's on of 5000 to be sold in the US and this guy had one of the first. He picked it up on Monday and it's got less than 100 miles on it. I told him to tell the dealership not to mess with it when it came off the truck and I'm glad he listened.

The customer actually kept a watchful eye during the entire detail. I'm hoping he learned a few things so that he can take care of this beauty himself between details. Stunning vehicle and it came out looking gorgeous! He didn't think it could look any better than it was since it was brand new, but I proved him wrong!

- Wash with CG Citrus Wash & ShMITT
- Dry with Guzzler
- Wheels washed with P21S
- AA Tire Gel On Tires
- Z1 / Z5 / Z2 Pro x2

Enjoy!

Very nice vehicle and you did a great job on it. Looks like you blew the owner away, best compliment you can get is when you surpas the customer expectation :righton:

Well done.

Thank you for sharing.
 
Awesome. I love it when they inspect the finish so closely and cant find anything wrong with it.

WOW P1et you did make it gorgeous. It's very reflective and I love the way the gloss stands out in the last pic. Did you have any problems using Zanio after using CG wash? I know it has some slick polymer in the soap?
Man you take killer pics!!:applause:
 
Don Hewlett... man i love that place, they have come kick butt trucks there. The car is perfect!!! I just did an '07 Elantra, no as exciting as this VW, but it's cool when someone tells a dealership. "Don't wash my car" and the people look at them like they're carzy!!
 
D&D: trust me, he looked the entire car over and was extremely impressed with the outcome. He's a believer now!

Sparkie: I didn't have any issues with the Zaino whatsoever. I yet have to find another product that makes metallic paint look as good as that combo does. I had put it aside for a long time and just recently started using it again. The owner lives at an apartment complex, so I needed something very durable and long-lasting, yet with great looks.

Dust2Glory: he asked the dealership not to mess with it and they apparantly were dumbfounded! The guy said "well, can I at least clay it for you?" Ehrm, NO!
 
Nice job..very cool that the customer followed your advice. I especially liked this shot:

WOW! VW R32! Awesome looking car! Love its interior. VW is the only make that makes good looking little cars. Other makes cannot make anything looking cute, always comes out ugly (you all know which MAKES I mean).
 
very nice job!


i like the older r32 styling better though...
 
Very nice Job buddy :D Oh, and I love R32!! Its some sweet cars :D
 
Good job! That's a great looking car, and that color is perfect for showing off flakes and shine.
 
I absolutely loved the color as well, thanks for all the comments!
 
Nice ride! cool color and awesome work you did for that owner, bet he was very happy indeed! :applause:
