Detailed: 2006 VW Bug

**justin_murphy** · 10-11-2006, 12:36 PM

This is one my most loyal customers. She has her copper King Ranch Expedition (did a post of it) detailed every week with me. She wanted a convertible Bug after seeing the one her boss drives (also posted here). Only thing is, it's identical to his! Other than 16" rims, it's a twin. It's the first time I've done 2 of the same autos in one day. Kinda cool.
Here it (they) is....

Washed with Megs NXT Tech Wash
(Washed with EDGE ShMitt...no claying neccessary)

XMT #1
(EDGE2K Orange "Wave" Polishing pad at #5 setting)
Polishing is fun....even more fun when it smells as nice at the XMT lineup!
#1 was very light cutting and cleaned just fine. It removed light scratches. This car was very taken care of so not alot work was needed. No dusting and no caking. Easy to remove....even in full sun.

XMT Finishing Glaze
(EDGE2K Blue Finishing "Wave" Pad at #3 setting)
Still an amazing product. The depth and wetness it provides is one of a kind. Simple to use and easy to remove. Effortless.

Souveran's Liquid Wax
(EDGE2K White "Wave" Pad at a #3 setting)
I believe you could put this stuff on a tank and still get a shine! One of the best there in my opinion. I've really noticed how wet it make reds and blues look. Very easy to use. Not one bit of dusting or staining of rubber.

Other products used:
Armor All Tire Gel
XMT Pad Conditioner
XMT Pad Cleaner
Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer
(VERY good stuff)
Stoner's Invisible Glass
Woolite 10:1
(Top, mats, leather, and Plastic)
Meguiar's Detailer Line Leather Cleaner and Conditioner

This is of the older Bug. Washed this day....Souveran'd about a month ago.
Still good depth.

More of the '06...

It only has 4k on it. It's like new on the inside. I didn't even have to do the mats.
All I use on King Ranch's is Ford's leather cleaner for it. They will not warranty it if it has anything else used on it. I bought 4 bottles when I started out.

BTW.......she didn't trade. She just wanted a Bug.

Here's the KR Expedtion post.....
