Default Presidential Detailed: Volkwagen GTI

Im sure many of you saw the black EVO I recently detailed. Well the owner was pleased enough to bring me his daily driver GTI! This time around he dropped it off instead of waiting(I guess he learned his lesson that it takes a while! ) We also did a "Presidential" Exterior/Interior on this one...Enjoy!

Exterior:
Optimum Car Wash
DD "Uber" Red Drying Towel
DD "Uber" Wool Mitt
Dual Buckets with Grit Guards
3m "green" Masking Tape
Optimum Instant Detail Spray
Adams Professional Clay Bar
P21S TAW
Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray
Menzerna IP/LC PFW Pad
Menzera PO85RD/ LC CCS Blue Pad
Menzerna Top Inspection
Tons of Uber MF Towels
Black WOW
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
Swissvax Pneu


LSP:
1z Einszett Glanz Wax/LC CCS Blue Pad(1k rpms only)
Lusso Oro applied with Uber Foam Applicator

Interior:
1Z Einszett Capet Shampoo
1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium
Adams Window Cleaner
Uber All Purpose MF's
Now the pictures..

Tools:
Dual Work Lamps
Dewalt Hi Speed Rotary
World's Greatest Boar's Hair Wheel Brush
Foam Pad Cleaning Brush
DD Detail Sponge
The Wheel Well/Fender Brush
The Spoke Brush
Canon Rebel XTi
Craftsmen 295MPH Vac/Blow


BEFORE:




















Some sort of fallout or something, took a while to get off with the clay bar!




Cleaning wheels/wheel wells.


Pre-soak with TAW




Hood before clay bar..


Hood After clay bar..


After Menzerna IP/PFW




Tucked away for the night after polishing with IP/PFW




Before Sealant/LSP Full sun shots!










Got a new tent


Applying Black WOW to all trim..50/50


AFTER SHOTS!










MONEY SHOTS! On silver! At first I just used Glanz Wax and wasnt impressed, then I got the idea to top it with my Lusso and WOW I AM STUNNED! It looked so wet and the Lusso was a dream to apply/remove. Not to mention how easy Glanz was to put on by machine with blue pad! This will definitely be my new combo until i get Jetseal 109!
The beading from Glanz/Lusso combined, it was MUCH slicker than Lusso itself.


Notice how wet it looks, even on Silver.

The brand is First-Up. Its a bit of a pain by yourself, but with two people it takes less than a minute or two. Basically its an accordian so its hard to stretch it four ways with one person! haha!
