THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 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 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 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!

EPHIOS Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
