Another non-Volkswagen! Toby brought his Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T by for a full exterior detail and it was my favorite color, haha. Another well maintained car that just needed that next step. I managed to make some scratches disappear and some blend better with compound and polish, topped off with a hydrophobic wax and Opti-Seal. I brought his exhaust tips back to life as well and made sure they were coated with wax and Opti-Seal for better protection.
My brother bought this Mk5 Volkswagen Jetta TDI from me when I used to work in sales for Young Volkswagen (in Easton, PA). At the time he and his wife were living in Brooklyn, NYC. When he asked me to travel to his house (not in the city anymore) to detail the Jetta, I knew I was going to have my work cut out for me. Surprisingly, there were not as many scratches and scuffs as I had expected. There was, however, a weird film that had settled on the hood, roof, and trunk. The paint felt like 2,000 grit sandpaper. A thorough clay bar took care of the film and a compound and polish brought the Platinum Grey Metallic back to life. Waxed with a hydrophobic wax and sealed with Opti-Seal for 7-9 months of protection.
Great friend and fellow Army veteran, Ryan, dropped his Mk5 Volkswagen Jetta GLI off for a full exterior detail. Ryan is very detail oriented and takes great care of his Campanella White GLI but the paint still needed some love. A thorough wash, clay bar, compound, and polish brought the nine year old paint back to life. I then waxed it with a hydrophobic wax and sealed it with Opti-Seal. I also took the time to clean and polish the exhaust tips; one common problem with many newer engines with direct injection is carbon build up inside the engine and on the exhaust tips. Once cleaned, I waxed and sealed the tips for an added layer of protection and added ease of cleaning in the future.
I went mobile to the house of two good friends of mine to give their Subaru Legacy a wash, wax, and interior detail. The car was far from neglected, but was in need of a thorough decontamination via clay bar. Then it was waxed with a hydrophobic wax and sealed with Opti-Seal for about 7-9 months of protection. The interior needed a vacuuming and some shampooing. It was a nice change of pace from the usual Volkswagen.
Black cars...most detailers dislike black cars. They show every defect and can be hard to work with if you do not know what you're doing. Well, Bryant brought his Mk5 Volkswagen Rabbit by fora thorough clean up so he could sell it. Having been parked under a tree for a long time and not washed often left the hood and roof very stained. I was able to bring the paint back to life with compound and then finished with hydrophobic wax and sealed with Opti-Seal. Hopefully the restored look of this car is able to bring some extra value to the sale of this car! I look forward to when Bryant brings his Mk6 Volkswagen Golf R over for a full detail.
