Volkswagen Golf GT 1.4 TSI (170ps)
Hiya, haven’t had much to right up at the min, But finally have a excuse this is my dads new car, it’s a 2006 Vw Golf GT (the supercharged and turbo charged engine, I have been allowed a quick go for my nice cleaning jesture, and it is very fast). Im Also going to keep the process simple…
Process:
· Remove wheels, Give arches a clean with APC (briefly as wheels were where the attention was required)
· Wheels – Clean with Wonder Wheels (car plan) this stuff is strong and bleached the grass as u can see in some photos its gone yellow), the front part of the wheels just got a wash with APC+ fairy, Then Megs GC wax + Collinite 476s
· Car Wash – Megs GC + Nxt mix
· Dry – MF
· Clay- Smooth Surface Clay kit (also comes with a Megs Cleaner Wax Sample)
· Polishing- Could have probably done with a little bit more cut here but #83 + #80 were takin the worst out (not that a knew for days for sure as there has been little sunshine)
· Wax- Megs GC and Collinite 476s
· Trim and Engine Plastics – Sonus Total Eclipse Vinyl Plastic & Rubber Protectant (for a not to shiny finish)
· Tyres still have something on that the Vw Dealer put on, its oily and greasy, I am waiting for it to wear off rather than smearing it all over the alloys.
· Interior – Simple Vac and Autoglym Interior Shampoo in a few spots.
· Total Time – Estimated 10-13 hours (Dad did help remove wheels and buff of wax, I was happy for the help by the end by arms were sore)
Befores:
Alloys: (should have taken more pics the insides were filthy)
Interior:
Door Shuts too:
Engine: (quick wipe of plastics with sonus that’s all due to only covered 17,000miles)
Exhaust:
Afters:
(my car now forced outside to make way for the new one!) please excuse the bin bags and vacuum cleaner
Unfortunately I was wanting some pictures in the sunshine to show the colour of and see how many swirls were removed (I got a good 90% correction I think, I now have one very happy dad), two days later the sun finally came out so I took some more.
(me just messin with the camera settings)
After finishing the Golf, I was a bit envious so decided to give the Clio a quick was and dress the front tyres (new tyres fitted), also I know we don’t talk about tyres much but I have had Toyo Proxes TR-1’s fitted to the front and the transformation is amazing they have so much grip for not very much money, much better than the Continentals they replaced.
Thanx For Reading,
Christian
