Detailed: 2005 vw caddy (new car)

Okey guys! So I need a car that I can use as a company car also, to drive boxes etc in. Its 2 years old and got a TDI engine (diesel).

I bought the car from my local vw-audi dealer, because I got a nice price on it! Y`all know how mutch audis and vw I have had

I took the car on the day, and diden`t want them to wash it etc.

The car was DIRTY!! I used over 2 hours to wash and clay the car! It was tar and etc everywere.

The paint was in a good condition, some swirls but NON scratches. Got me a suprise there

Anyway, If I sold the car now, I would earn around 5000 dollars on her, but I don`t think I will do it. Need the car!


My game plan

Wash:
## citrus wash and gloss
Amazing roll off
LC ultimitt
Long brush

Engine:

Rinsed with PW
Sprayed down with Dp engine degreaser
Agitated with brush
Rinsed off with PW
Topped with Optimum protecant

Paint:

Clayed with riccardo clay
Metabo with white LC CSS pad and menzerna 106FF
DG 501 with PC speed 3
Jetseal x 3
topped with souveran paste wax

Inside:
Vaccumed
Wipe down with pinnacle leather and vinyl cleaner (this stuff workes great)
Protected with optimum protecant
Windows with dp krystal vision glass cleaner
Seats and floor sprayed with autoglym interior shampoo, and vaccumed.

All doorjams and paint on inside cleaned with degreaser and protected with DG 501.

EVERYTHING on this car is detailed.

Picture time:

Looks great, white is a hard paint to correct, did it have clear coate on it?

Love white cars when they are cleaned, a paint cleaner does marvels on white...

Looking good priex. It also looks like you moved your detailing into the garage for the winter. Must be getting cold in Norway.

Man KT it looks brand new. The door jams look excellent, and the interior, especially the jet sealed floor hahah. Can't wait for outside pictures. It already looks good inside the garage. The engine bay I can eat off of. You turned that Caddy around

Love the VW and love the work you put into it. You're a nutter for putting JS on the inside, but a nutter in the best way possible! Congrats on the new purchase Pirex!!!

Outstanding turnaround. When you said everything on this car is detailed you really meant it. Looks awesome.
