Hello. I washed my daily drivers engine today(VW bora/jetta), its many years since it last was washed. I used the Dp engine degreaser, it worked fantastic. Never seen
something like it. Best buy of the month? :applause:

After I had taken the Bora, I started on my sisters passat. I had a lack of time, so it was just outside wash, and inside was. The car was awful, not washed in five months :mad: (She lives 8 houres south of me).

Products used outside:
Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo & Conditioner

ArmorAll vinyl protectant

Innside:
Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Protectant

Pinnacle Leather & Vinyl Cleaner

I can see now that it it some small things on the seats. I guess the vacumer is not good enough :o

The car needs a serious polish, it must be next time. Feed back please

Heck yeah that interior was thrashed. Could have guessed it was a girl car from all the hair ties on the gear shift.

Sweet mother that is a dirty interior wow.

I like the engine bay, looks so clean very nice turn around.

Looks like you have a gorgeous house and the pictures really show the colors of the soroundings.

Very nice detail, don't worry about some of the things that the vacum left behind. It looks much better then the before pictures...I'm just surprised you where able to remove majority of the "stuff".

Thanks for the feedbacks guys! Yes, the interior was thrashed. I can`t imagine driving a car that looks like that inside :confused: I bet the interior is just as bad in a month, its crazy :( But, more work for me, to bad it is family :p The paint need some seriouse care. It has not been polished for a long time, like a couple of years :eek: Nica: Thank you for the comment on the house, it the holiday house, but we are there from april-september. So its a nice place to do details. I live in a apartment, so its not so simply to wash cars there.

It annoyed me that the vacum not removed everything, so I bought som extras for it today ;)

You will see more of this car in the futhure Im the MAN
