Well had a marathon weekend. Collected the wife and my new cars on Saturday and spent the rest of the weekend and most of Monday detailing them. The wife got a new Blue GT (to replace her.....er... Blue GT) and I got a Golf GTD (to replace my err.....Golf GTD
)We asked the dealer not to touch them aside from removing the transportation sheets, which to be fair they did. The paint work was a rough as sandpaper on both cars, so I was really glad it was me that was touching the paintwork first.
The process was the same on both cars, so:
• Power wash
• Snow foam with AF foam
• Rinse
• Hand wash (two buckets) with Megs Shampoo and my Wo-Wo lamb’s wool mit.
• Rinse
• Clay using Megs last touch as a lubricant
• Rinse
• De-Tar with AS Tardis
• Rinse
• Sprayed with Iron-X to remove bonded fall out (from the wheels there were loads).
• Rinse and quick wash again, with a final rinse.
• Car then dried with my two extra-large microfiber drying towels (patted dry)
• Used my Metro Sidekick to blast off the remaining water in the harder to reach areas.
• The above left the paint work super smooth.
• Cars then taped up and machine corrected with Dodo Juice Lime prime on an Orange Dodo Juice Fin Cut pad. This got 99% of the minor marring out.
• Then 2 coats of Gtechniq C2 V3 and 2 final top coats of Dodo Juice Purple Haze pro.
• Wheels taken off and sealed with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour
• Windows gone with Autoglym Fast Glass, and black trim dressed with Aerospace 303 protectant.
• Tyres dressed with Mega tyre gel.
Phew, now the afters…….
Polo Blue GT
As you can see I've already added chromed exhaust tips, door sill trims, special carpet mats, foot well lighting, the missing Engine cover and removed the "Bluemotion" badge from the boot lid. However went to fit the Chrome pedals from the old 6R Blue GT and the accelerator doesn't fit (the old one was rectangular but the new one is slightly curved on the 6C). Have they changed ?
Now she has adaptive cruise control as well on the Polo (as she loves it on my Golf).
Anyway, images.....
