I was cleaning up my gf's 07 rabbit the other day (not to this level of detail) and the rear hatch and bumper really do get a lot of grit embedded in the paint. That part of the car felt like a light sandpaper prior to cleaning it up.


Detail looks incredible, it is surprising what can be fixed in the paint.

 

wow, I can't believe you used the paint measurer...that's a real good detailing

 

Awesome guide Nikku, I learn something new everytime I read on of your threads.

 

No, thank you for checking the thread out and thanks for the compliment.. Since we're in the G35 forum I won't agree with you about the GTI . I agree it has beautiful lines but I prefer the power I get from my G

 

Thanks a lot I appreciate it. Yes it is a surprise to a lot of my clients in regards to what can be fixed but then again there are also limits. Thanks again for looking.

It's essential in making sure we don't polish more than we can and it's also great to bring any paint issues to the attention of our clients. Thanks for reading and the comment.

It's hard to say thank you to these types of comments Greekboy. I try to stay as humble and as grounded as possible. I know there is always something new that I personally learn or least try to learn. So thank you for looking at my thread and thank you for your compliments. I'll try to get up more threads that help with DIY.

Cheers,
Nick

 

M105/M205 ftw! I used it on my car came out perfectly!

Great work ! Your cousin will be very happy! Show him the before and afters!

 

please come do my car

 

Yeap M105 and 205 are very versatile. I like using different pads with it. Thanks for reading the write up. He's already seen the before and after and he said he's said the cars never been this clean.

I think you should take a trip up to Toronto Enjoy the sights and I'll look after your baby for ya.

Cheers !

 

Fantastic job & write up Nick!!!!

You complete transformed that GTI

 

Dang man?
How much do you charge on a normal detail?

 

After seeing that rail dust in there and the bird strike, I was honestly thinking that this car doesn't deserve such care.

I can't wait to get to my next duty station so I can get more into detailing. My car is about the best one on the block, but sometimes I just want more.

 

I wanna get into detailing too.. but we have dirt/mudrain here... and when it's not dirt/mudraining.. we have ice storms.. and when we dont have ice storms.. we have heavy pollen clouds.

 

That's why you need the protection of a good detail. It's as much about protection as good looks.

 

Hey Ian ! Thanks for the kind words. Looks I have to work harder to get your attention lol. I'll keep em coming just for you Ian.

Hey Alec. Thanks but the car shows off herself quite nicely. If you could define "normal" that would be great. For example did you mean a wash and wax? new car prep?

All the power to you. A large part of these threads is to encourage owners to detail their cars and keep them in pristine condition. Have fun at your next duty station. BTW it's always good to want more. Never settle

Proper vehicle protection will help against dirt and mudraining. It will be so much easier for you to maintain your vehicle once you get a good solid foundation of paint to work form ie. well protected. Give detailing a try, your car will definitely thank you.

Cheers,
Nick

 

lol i wash once a week cuz it gets so dirty out here and wax once a month
