jcrome04 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 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 B) I DO NOT USE A ROTARY BUFFER! Some of you may know I prefer the Cyclo Dual Head Polisher B) 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!! Driver's Door!
SW03ES Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Very nice! My only problem with the Cyclo is its so large...
jcrome04 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Posted June 18, 2009 Very nice!My only problem with the Cyclo is its so large... 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 But it's all worth it in the end. I couldn't believe how nice it turned out!
nc211 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Nice job, except I think you missed a spot on the driver's door! :P ;)
jcrome04 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Posted June 18, 2009 I kept wiping... but that guy wouldn't go away! B)
