Finally convinced my client to let me work my magic on his APR K04 MK6 Gti! I have been working on his wifes 11' Q5 and his grandfathers MB 12' ML350 during the last few months but he never had the time or interest to have his personal car touched, until now! We decided on a One-Step Correction with the Interior cleaned up aswell. This is my first Write-Up so easy on the bashing...lol. Note-The inside was not pictured as much since I didnt take any after pictures, but I can assure you alot of attention was put into it. Products Used- Interior: 1Z Einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Meg's Glass Cleaner 10:1 Meg's APC Plus 10:1 AP MF's Uber Hi-Tech Glass MF Towels Exterior: P21S Wheel Gel Meg's APC Plus 4:1 Dawn Adam's Super VRT 303 Aerospace Protectant ONR(Clay Lube) Adam's Glass Sealant Optimum Metal Polish DI Waffle weave MF Drying Towel ClayMagic Claybar Uber SuperPlush MF Menzerna PowerLock Meg's 105/205 Menzerna SF4500 Equipment: Swissvax Detail Brush Swissvax Wheel Brush Uber Boars Hair Wheel Brush Uber Wheel and Fender Brush No Name Fireman Nozzle Uber Yellow Wash Sponge Craftsman Vacuum N Blow Ez-Detail Brush Flex 3401 DD Yellow/Green/Black Pads Fenix TK35 Husky 500Watt Halogen Before Pictures Before After Superleggeras cleaned with P21S Wheel Gel Cleaning the barrels Initial Two Bucket Wash Letting Dawn work it's magic but not for too long as the Sun was being a pain. Rinse, you can see no beading or sheeting action after decontamination. Airdried along with the WW Pulled inside to hide from the sun On to the claybar Surprisingly not too bad Taping up for the correction 50/50 Test spots Before Halogen After Halogen Before LED After LED Pillars There was still some polish on the corrected side, those are the streaks you see. Tails And the worst panel M205 on Green Pad wasn't enough cut Moved on to M105 with Yellowpad(Note that this panel was kicked in awhile back, reason for the ripples in the panel) Then hit it with M205 Moved outside to do a final rinse since M105 decided to dust a bit plus to remove any oils as you can see the beading Dawn dwelling Rinsing Air Dried Polished the tips Before Right tip After Before Left Tip Somewhat of a 50/50 After 2 Coats of PL applied via Flex3401 with DD Black Pad(SAVES TIME!) Buffed off using Uber Super Plush MF
Got a question, don't pads get hard if you allow a solution to cure in them like PL? Great work BTW, I want to see this car in action.
looks awesome. my MKV is probably just a little dirtier than that one right about now. its so dirty that it looks grey, not black. btw...if he's running a K04 setup, why is he stg2? isnt K04 stage 3 on MKV/VI?
I believe he's considered Stage 2++ or something along those lines. Thanks everyone for the comments!
Maybe he has the STG 1 Intake and the K04? i dunno. I dont think APR likes giving you the K04 without their ECU tune to go with it... but what to do i know. Nice work btw. One day my GTI will look that good... once the salt is off the roads here, blech.
Thank you for the kind words. I asked Jose to work his magic on my car after I saw what he did to the Q5 and the ML350, however, Jose didn't show up at my house for like 3 weeks because it had been raining in Houston every other day. Even after he did all this fantastic job, the very next day started raining again and I couldn't enjoy a clean car. (he had to come 5 days later to pick it up and go wash it again!
Since the day I bought the car, it became Stg 1. 20K miles later, it became Stg2. At 45K miles, I got the badge as a gift. At 52K miles I got the APR K04 kit. I left the badge because I have not gone yet to Stg 3 +. One more time: MrD0t, Thank you for taking care of my cars!
