  • 2008 Landrover LR2, VW Jetta

    2008 Landrover LR2, 38k miles.

    Owner is preparing to trade it in.

    The chrome wheels are extremely corroded with brake dust and the chrome is flaking off. Definitly takes away from the overall appearance.

    There are also some stains and runs in the paint. Looks like someone sprayed on a degreaser or cleaner and let it run dry.

    The exterior and interior were just given a basic detail. Except that the owner did not want the paint waxed or sealed.

    Not too many during shots, cant wash a black vehicle in the sun and take pics .

    I washed the truck with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and a Meguiars wash mitt.

    Bugs and tar were treated with Body Solvent and a bug sponge.

    Wheels, tires, and wells were washed with Deep Crystal Car Wash and All Purpose Cleaner along with various brushes.





    I dried it with some WMs and pulled it in the garage.

    I did a dry brush and a vac on the interior.

    All interior hard surfaces an leather were cleaned and dressed with Quik Interior Detailer.

    Glass got Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

    Jambs were wiped clean with All Purpose Cleaner.

    All vents and crevices were brushed out with a paintbrush.










    I clayed the exterior with Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1 with the white consumer clay.

    I followed that with an application of Ultimate Quik Wax to all the paint, trim, and chrome, I applied and removed it with a few SS.

    Tires and fenderwells were dressed with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1.

    The good portions of the wheel were wiped down with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

    Some afters:








    The UQW helped fill in some light cobwebbing.

    2006 Volkswagon Jetta, 89k miles.

    Just a wash with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and an application of #135 - Synthetic Spray Detailer. Tires and wells dressed with All Season Dressing.

          You can sometimes get more on your trade-in. Or, maybe if it's a lease you don't get charged for unnecessary things? Those are my guesses, lol

              It's too bad the Landrover didn't get a polish, but it still turned out pretty nice. The shot in the shade looks great.

              Lookin good

                Both cars look very nice. I especially like the close-up shot of the fender of the VW. Metallic paints are quickly becoming one of my favorites.

                  This VW I did recently had a crazy amount of flake:






                  Final Touch,

                  The owner did not care about having it polished, he is getting rid of it.

                    My sister's civic has silver paint with that amount of flake and I love working on it.
