Complete From the Studio: VW R32

[THE Mook]

Good Afternoon!

 

Here I present a Blue with Silver Vinyl Volkswagen R32.  The client contacted me in preparation for a large VW show in Vegas, and I was more than happy to get this thing ready for him!

 

Here it is upon Arrival:

 

 

 

Wasn't in bad shape...

 

I was tight on time, so I was hoping to try and get these out too...

 

Start of lots of Sun and Heat in Colorado means the bug armies are out to get us all.

 

The Parts I could correct would all look something to the effect of this:

 

Wiper Cowl area could use some attention.

 

This was not quite a full detail, but I would hit the Interior just a little bit.

 

 

Yeah so I hope the ones on the bottom aren't used on his paint anymore, and the ones on the top will be...

 

Exhaust Tips needed some care.

 

I was excited to have another European Car in the Studio so I could use the New Juice...

Here are a couple of action shots.  Again, I had to be as efficient as possible in the time frame given...I am a glutton for that lately.

 

 

I absolutely love Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner.  Here, Foot in Mook's Mouth for NorCal Dave.  I'm only human after all.  I love the bleed out color change even if I still think it's a bit strange. I understand why it does it, but still.

 

I saw the open Air Filter and chose to cover it with a plastic bag.

Here are some afters.

 

I apologize for not getting better engine shots.  I am still learning this new camera.  The curve is steep with me for some reason.

 

 

I don't know if I got a close up 'before' of the B pillars.  Swirled to heck.  One Pass of the Cyclo had me a bit surprised.

 

 

[THE Mook]

Outside this Blue was Popping!

 

 

 

 

Clean Tips as they should be.

 

I didn't polish the wheels with Revive or anything, but the DWC/QS combo really brightened them up.  Notice the SVRT on the rear valance.

 

 

 

 

ONE PASS of the Cyclo with each polish took all those swirls out.  I am impressed still.

 

 

Adam's TID was perfect for this job.

 

 

 

 

 

That's all I have for this one...MORE, plenty MORE coming!

 

Thanks!

Nice shine on that Mook, that cyclo does a good job.

I remember a met a guy, in my job, about 8 years ago. He just bought a Corvette. He said that he has been using Windex on everything, and it works great.

 

I told him, "maybe on windows"

 

I feel bad for that Corvette.
