Well my buddy wanted his GLi spruced up for the upcoming Leavenworth Drive that is a pretty big deal to the VW community. a VERY large car event up in the PNW.

So Tuesday morning I went to town on the exterior. Taking my sweet time through stage after stage of polishing cool.gif

I DO NOT USE A ROTARY BUFFER! Some of you may know I prefer the Cyclo Dual Head Polisher cool.gif This thing just amazes me!


The paint on this car is flawless (other than orangepeel) Not one wash mark, not one line in the paint.


Anyways... Just wanted to showoff my work and post pics of the this beast!!

It is a little bulky! I workout 5 days a week, and my arms were SO sore the day after I detailed it.

But then again I spent about 5 hours polishing it! With that heavy machine I should have at least half-expected it rolleyes.gif



But it's all worth it in the end. I couldn't believe how nice it turned out!

Yeah lots of steps, but I won't complain about the results! cool.gif

From start to finish, including little breaks and BSing with my buddy, took me 5 hours! lol didn't even seem like it though.
