'93 Volkswagen Corrado Part 1: Window Tint and PPF Removal!

I've had this channel for almost 5 years now, and I've finally brought a Volkswagen to the forefront! This beautiful 1993 Corrado finished in OEM Dark Burgundy Pearl (C3U) belongs to my friend Blair, he's a triple OG in the VAG community. I'm honored to have the pleasure of working on this Corrado. First order of business was removing the window tint; most people would disagree and make the point that window tint provides privacy and helps protect the integrity of the interior but, to "purists" like Blair and I, these cars look best with their windows in the OEM 'nude' form. Truly, nothing beats a clean glasshouse.
Now, when it came to removing the 20+ year old paint protection film, I ran into some issues! Unfortunately, the paint underneath delaminated and latched onto the underside of the film. So, this video will be broke up into 2 parts, when I get the car back in the shop in a couple months after the front end gets repainted, we'll pick back up where I left off and continue on with the paint correction!

Dude YES! Jimmy O won't do VW content but his buddy Aiden will! Love it

[@AidanTemplin]

Someone’s gotta do it!

He did some VW episodes you must not have followed early

Im still holding out for the day Jimmy does a Corrado build!

[@lunchboxjoeb]

RJ's got a bagged beetle :D, they def need to do some VW stuff though.

[@oheymikey1017]

I’m into the talking parts now. Good work as usual!

[@AidanTemplin]

Thank you so much! I only talk when absolutely necessary, so don’t get used to it 😭😭

[@jasonburch3659]

Always a good day when Aidan drops a video. Looking forward to part 2.

[@avengednick]

I’m a simple man, I see an Aidan MT video and I click like before the ads are over. Thanks for blessing us with the vibes per usual!

[@AidanTemplin]

Legend for that 😭

[@pkwrks]

I'm so happy to see a pristine Corrado on your channel. I also have one but as a g60. The shot at 1:02 reminds me of NFS Underground 2 when you drive in one of the shops. Always love your vibe!

[@rtbh10]

Loving the corrado content. Looking forward to part 2!

[@mokhelemotaung7446]

I'm here for the content and choice of music as well.

[@Balderoni_]

Corrado will be restored to perfect condition! Loved this video, next one will be a blast ❤️

[@ClutchClift]

Another banger as usual.

[@javantolley8499]

damn, thats brutal. but i gotta say, the vibes of your videos made me feel so at ease even during watching worse case scenario

[@AidanTemplin]

I’m glad it was portrayed that way through the video, in real life I was grinding teeth!

[@javantolley8499]

@@AidanTemplin dude, I can only imagine.

[@deeg4n000]

The beats as always. fine wine my man. The steam tint was a good call scraping glue residue sucks especially on defroster lines. Holy shit hearing your voice showed your east coast lmao. sick ill keep watching

[@zacc988]

God that corrado is so good, and the sound of the vr 😍

[@davidh4632]

Great job, I removed the tints on my e46 m3 using a steamer, easily the best way as melts the glue as well.

[@ripF5C]

Woah, I never hear Aidan talk! Loved this vid!

[@AidanTemplin]

Don’t get used to it! 😂😂😂 not on this channel at least, you can hear me talk almost daily on my Instagram!

[@l96nw49]

you need to follow him on insta, the guys fucking hilarious, he needs to bring this side of his personality to the channel because his insta storys are the most entertaining shit i swear😂

[@ripF5C]

@@AidanTemplin Haha noted 🤣 boutta go drop that insta follow then

[@jdmfreak22]

Loved this. More bloopers please. And more diaper change stance lmao

[@blackpearlmedia7797]

the chaos with the steamer haha great video man! am i mistaken for understanding you do a lot of your filming on your phone?

[@AidanTemplin]

Everything on my channel since day 1 has been filmed with my iPhone and edited on iMovie! I was using my old iPhone as a microphone during the talking bits, and my iPhone 14 Pro Max for all the shots!

[@blackpearlmedia7797]

@@AidanTemplin I got to respect it man! You have a great eye for composition! I shoot most of my stuff with a mirrorless camera for that "cinematic" quality but seeing your work reminds me that composition and simplicity paired with effort (for setting up all the shots) is extremely effective. I shows through to me even more then your detailing (Which is also legendary) haha 🤙

[@waterlover]

Looks way better with no tint.. I’m with you Bareback driving is the only way to go. Rock chips are going to happen regardless

[@teggy95se]

I have seen (2) videos today, both taking off PPF, both paint coming with the film. I was wanting to have the PPF removed from my car, this has me second guessing it.

[@sabishiikarasu4158]

Damn that sucks , but 💩happens . Looks good without the tint . That interior is mint . 👊🏼🖤🍻

[@nikkosx]

first video of aidan talking??

[@AidanTemplin]

Hahahahahaha maybe the 3rd or 4th!!

[@Dumptheclutchevo]

looks so much better without the tint, beautiful! and that's an old ass jiffy steamer! but they do last forever tho! what was that jam during the ppf removal?

[@joonatansaarinen8715]

Cool cars my dad has g60 that hes owned from new has 60'000km mint condition he bougth it when he was working in germany it was dynoed at mtm

[@MattTN_82]

Love me some Corrado content! 💯🔥 I don't think Aidan likes PPF 🤣

[@ElliottCollect]

Awesome. Can't wait to see this thing gleam though.

[@BBFoster1906]

Love the channel, love the music...how can I get my car on your channel? 2003 BMW 5 series...let's talk!

I hate being that person, but what’s the song / beat that starts at 3:50-ish? Love your work by the way, Aidan!

Hey Aidan! Have you ever had issues with stripping the heater chords when removing window tint? Awesome video btw, looking forward to the next one!

so much for paint protection! good to know about this, fuck PPF!

[@BELLEVERIC]

i love how the ppf is supposed to protect the paint and now it ruins it lmfaoooo i love the car though

[@RcNickster709]

LMAO .. Awesome video once again. :)

[@mrnajee1]

How do i get in contact with you?

[@shalinabeyratne9282]

Das Auto 🔥 :)

[@carloalfano334]

So what i'm hearing is if you have a 12 year old car (like i do) with paint protection on it which is starting to show it's age with cracks, if you don't want to risk having to repaint it's best to leave it on.

[@HOMELESSG0D]

Unfortunately 20 years is way too much to leave ppf on. It is what it is.

Ppf is always seeming to do more harm than good

[@AidanTemplin]

Every damn time

[@Enginesetc]

Beautiful but man, in my opinion, what is that bonnet bra doing on there? Ruins the classic lines

Was only on there to cover up the imperfections in the PPF!

@@AidanTemplin Fair enough mate just a personal opinion :) Suppose at least he's getting it sorted by yourself isnt he (and now the bodyshop)
