How To Clean Interior Of Vw R32

Volkswagen Golf R32 mkiv – Major Pigment Correction Item

I was invited over by Jonny from Pure Detail once again in the North W to lend a helping paw on the Golf. It was booked for his "purest" particular; a wheels-off, full interior, engine bay and major paint correction.

On the first day Jonny had deep cleaned the car in readiness for my arrival early Thursday morning – Thurs & Fri were spent machine polishing and so the interior, engine and arches etc tackled last thing Saturday morning.

Afterward a 5am start and a two hour journey, I go far at PD HQ:

Although it hasn't got many miles on the clock (~35k), the Golf paintwork was rather driveling! Two words, 'car launder'.

It was obvious we're going to have to go aggressive with this one.

My starting time before/afterwards on the bonnet:

2 hard hits were required with FastCut+ and Ultrafina on a foamed wool Lake Land pad to get the desired results.

Jonny testing the Lake State wool pad before moving onto his own Meguiars wool pads:

After I'd corrected the North/S quarter of the bonnet with wool, I stepped downwardly to a foam polishing pad with Menzerna 203s to refine the terminate further.

Before/After:

The big wool pads are all well and good but you're unable to become in close to console edges etc. Further correction had to be made with the 3M compounding spot pad ensuring every area was defect free.
