Detailer's Domain: VW R32 Winter Prep with einszett

My very own R32 Winter Prep (with einszett)

I guess this is about the only time I will be able to do my car, when its snowing out.
No clay or paint correction needed at this point, however I will do some paint correction after the winter. It will need 2 steps.

My major concern was to clean off the salt and protect the car.

What was done -
Exterior

- Wheels were prepped with P21S Wheel Gel and cleaned up with various brushes
- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Washed with ONR
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Dried
- Quick Polish for einszett Paint
- Wheels protected with einszett Spray Wax
- Protected with einszett Glanz
- Rubber and Plastics Treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
- Exhaust tips cleaned

Interior Detail

- All interior surfaces cleaned and protected, including glass, and all
vinyl/plastic surfaces. (einszett Cockpit)
- Carpets and upholstery vacuumed.

Products used:

Exterior
Optimum ONR
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
P21S Total Autowash
Lusso Glass Polish
einszett Paint
einszett Glanz
einszett Spray Wax
Optimum Opti-Seal
einszett Vinyl Rubber Care and Protectant

Interior
einszett Cockpit

Hardware:
Porter Cable 7424XP with Uber Green and Uber Black Pads
Uber Microfiber Towels
Brushes
Applicators

Interior cleaned up


Before with all the salt etc






After ONR



einszett Paint Polish

phil did you know that you can demand hole-less front grille for free? i've done that before i traded my .:R to 1er.
it was only exclusive for R32 owners

EDIT:
here is my old thread from MKV

Phil, great job, love how a clean car really pops in the dead of winter! Question: Do you use the ONR to clean up the wheels as well?
