2011 VW Routan

[SYMAWD]

Today I detailed a 2011 VW Routan (6 hours total). I did everything but paint correction. I will list the Adam's products I used as I go along. If you care about what else I used, PM me and I'll tell you.

 

First up, less assess the "damage".

 

 

Here is the plasti-dipped front end that protected the car this winter.

Starting to peel

All gone

 

Driver's side floor mat

All 4 cleaned (non Adam's product)

 

Cleaning the leather (OTC product)

Camera didn't pick up the 50/50 too well

All seats got the same treatment and then were conditioned.

Arm rest before

After

Bye Bye stain

Dead pedal

Arm Rest 50/50 (the dark ring in the middle is where the tape was)

 

Front wheel before

Trying DWC for the first time

Medium wheel woolie

Don't know what this is but DWC didn't do a thing about it

All done

 

Non Adam's APC on stream setting

Wheel well after

 

Now for the extra dirty back wheels:

DWC in action

Unfortunately, even after 3 applications and agitations, this was left over.

How much I used on all 4

 

non Adam's APC on foam setting

Adam's tire brush

 

Strip 2 bucket wash (Adam's CWS + APC)

Drying time

After the wash

Just the hood (non Adam's clay + lube)

Detail Spray wipe down before sealant

Adam's quick sealant

 

Faded emblem

Dressed emblem

Faded

Dressed (similar to in and out, but not. I leveled it out with a MF after)

 

Engine after (some SVRT some other stuff)

 

SVRT 50/50s

 

SVRT as tire dressing (I didn't care for it here. It was hard to apply and didn't give the look I wanted)

Back to my favorite OTC dressing

 

Afters

 

Hope you guys enjoyed.

Real nice job!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you had any critique to this thread style as there weren't too many comments and I was planning on squeezing in one more similar to this before I head back to college. Thanks for any input.

If there is an area where you have a trick/tip that would be a nice thing, but besides that i like the writing, and the result to

73 days later and the quick sealant is still doing its job.  The water rolls right off.  It would probably bead even better if the car was actually clean.

I swear this stuff is more stubborn than a wild horse!  We have QS on a billet wheel, 50/50 standing next to another "Sealant" we applied one week after moving in.  We left the thing outside all day every day since.  QS....STILL there.
