Joyriide1113 Detailed: Black VW GTI MKV

JOYRIIDE1113 · 01-05-2008, 04:20 PM

Buddy of mine got a hold of a new GTI. It looked great. Really great actually. Maybe enough to even think about VW R32's. Anyways, he brought it by to get detailed. The paint was really clean, except he had a lot of marring. The car only has like 35miles. Goes to show why you NEVER let the dealer do your new car prep...

Job was simple and fun. Took all but 2.5 hours.

EXTERIOR ONLY

Wash w/ Megs Gold Class
Clay with Mothers
Polish with Menzerna PO106ff via Grey pad @ 1500rpms
Waxed with Clearkote Moose Wax
Trim cleaned and dressed with Poorboys Trim Restorer
Wheel sealed with Poorboys Wheel Sealant
Tires dressed with Zaino Z16
Fenderwells got hit with Meguiars Hyper Dressing 4:1

Before

Half and half shots

After

If you're in the Miami area and want your car detailed, send me a PM.

Thanks
Joy

!Xoible · 01-06-2008, 12:53 AM

why's bmw paint the worst paint out there? namely jet black

JOYRIIDE1113 · 01-06-2008, 01:03 AM

All non-metallic black paints are hard to maintain. As enthusiast and proud owners, we just notice and nit pick a bit more.

how do u like ur montego blue? that's the color im getitng next...

does it get dirty easy? swirls show? well i guess they wont show on urs, ur a detailer

JOYRIIDE1113 · 01-06-2008, 01:09 AM

Its actually pretty easy to maintain. Even when dirty, from 25 feet away, it still looks clean. The paint has such a shimmer to it that it really over-exposes the paint and makes it hard to sport swirls or scratches.

Nice job. Car looks great.

That Clearkote Moose looks great on the metallic black paint!

Gives me another option to think about for my Sapphire Black. How is the durability of that wax?

1-2 months... Depending on how often you would wash it afterwards, how harsh your soap, and if you use a qd after the wash.
