Bargain VW Golf GTI Mk2 gets spruce up Detail!!!

[@zaink7037]

Dad used to have one of these in the late 90s. Modified it with G60 headlights and more. When he came to sell it he had a call from someone saying they want to feature it on a magazine. Still has the magazine with him on the top left of the front page. Nice to see you make a video of one jon

[@maverick4177]

You mean Rallye headlights? As G60 ones would be the same as these 😂

[@zaink7037]

@@maverick4177 yeah that's it. I once saw a G60 rallye in a car meet once. Owner fully rebuilt it. Great cars and the smell of petrol from that engine did it for me 😂

[@macelwood6121]

I had a GTI 16V in the mid 90s. Same colour 💚 One of the best cars I’ve ever owned. Thank you for this fantastic video. Many greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@ForensicDetailing]

My pleasure!

[@paddymcgrath605]

Giving the ole lady the care and respect she deserves. Massive respect. This was my dream car as a lad. ❤

[@dayneditiont5.163]

I'm glad you kept the club gti sticker. We kept ours its been on for about 20 years. Great job, guys ❤

[@danielwiles1835]

Very Nice, miss my Oakey, shame its an 8v though.

[@Chaddie2206]

Very Very Neat example of a Legendary Golf. Cool colour. Enjoyed the video.

[@robinsongalaxie500]

Had one of these! Love Oak Green. Drivers door looks different colour to rear panel…….

[@patrickvennard838]

Everyone loves a golf GTi I have had five of them, great Video.

[@successblueprintinstitute]

My old man had one of these (c reg) he loves it more than any of his kids. Black gti red bbs

[@follyfour506]

Mine was a 1986 D reg in Red but small bumpers a quarter lights on doors . I did put big bumpers on it a full Leather interior including rear headrests. I looked on tax checker says it's on a SORN.

[@davidwebb8877]

I had a early mk2 golf gti,C reg 5 door 8v model,it had the Pirelli alloys on it,I think the colour was mars red,great car and quick,another one of many cars I should have kept,I’d be loaded now😩

[@simonyounger9583]

Very nice. If only it was a 5 door but I hope it goes to a good home

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

Love a MK2 golf it looks so much better with all that OEM parts back on and the big detail..I would imagine that will now sell quiet easy at the 8-9k mark 👌💚

[@petersmith7126]

Ill get shot down for this but i was never a fan of the Golf or the GTI in particular but thats one stunning looking car for its age

[@Rob.Coleman]

Lovely clean unit, compact and nicely organised 👍. The car's ok too 😁.

[@Officialnrb]

Bought my 16 valve brand new in 91. I still think it was the first car in the UK a Nurburgring sticker on lol

[@ColinAtkins-j3h]

Nice car good job reckon the front lights could be better enjoy new owner 👍👍🦊

[@chalkieboy4629]

Great video John, jealous of Martin’s bay. Any chance Martin could give a discount code for some hexagon lights please??

[@a1topdog]

Nice job, but you could have given behind the grill a wipe over while it was out 😂

[@jasonmjonesuk]

Nice example, good job! 👍

[@oaklindphoto]

Lovely work guys 👌

[@MartynBrady]

Just seen this car on eBay, definitely added some digits to the value 😂

[@mooseknuckle8334]

I wish the Canadian VW market was like it is in Europe.

[@Eggnog3000]

How do you rate the Yum Foam+, have you reviewed it. I just tried it and I was really impressed with the results... Be great to see what you think. Ordered Bilt Hamber bits following your recent vid... Will try this weekend if it ever stops raining!

[@maverick4177]

Should have used Gtechniq C4 trim restorer on those plastics instead of that horrible sticky 💩

[@freshlayersuk1259]

I would have used wax is dead ceramic, but this stuff used worked better on this occasion as the plastics needs a very deep black, and when this dried it was ace

[@GregoryVeizades]

You've clearly never used solution finish. Its not sticky in the slightest.

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

Old school, love it.

[@b4b516]

124,000! that’s a fair amount.

[@stuartmcmillan2518]

Car looks fantastic, do you have a link for the bumper/trim product?

[@ForensicDetailing]

Vista concept chems m8

[@stuartgraham4894]

Good to bring it back to standard, just need to source an original exhaust and radio. Will be worth so much more if standard, never understood why people want to mod these cars?? 9 times out of 10 they look crap when modded..

[@TomB1988]

7 or 8 grand? I'd expect these to be worth more like 20 or 30.

[@davidboyce6427]

Jon honest question for Jon? Does he ever complain about th above Hex lighting when it comes down to working on scratch removal? I ask only because I’m told it can fool what your eyes when it comes to assessing before and after results. Let me know what Martin says👍

[@ForensicDetailing]

Hex lighting is not inspection lighting for paint correction mate. Its purley display lighting so its a modular system you can use to create a sort of showpiece of add a cool look to commercial units etc.. If you want the best lighting for paint correction its the ability to black out the room and use a smaller inspection torch.

[@freshlayersuk1259]

The lights also give you a great light and show any marks so they do help when polishing a car for sure, that's why they are so popular in the detailing world They don't give shadow so that's great

[@earlybird4709]

Get rid of the single wiper conversion.

[@b4tm4nrubin33]

So glad it doesn’t have 6x9’s in 😂😂

[@onthetrail202]

Great video

[@deanblakemore3108]

Could I send you a sample of my air freshener spray very nice long lasting unique smell coco forest fruits

[@ForensicDetailing]

I have to buy mate what's product called. Don't put link or you tube filters it

[@deanblakemore3108]

Coco forest fruits ​@@ForensicDetailing

[@martwebb32]

Scorpion DTM exhaust?

[@ForensicDetailing]

Think so m8

[@martwebb32]

Rare as rocking horse sh!t now

[@follyfour506]

My old 16v had a blue flame engineering (Skelmersdale ) DTM pipe on it. It sounded and looked great.

[@OraEtLabora0]

is he not working fro WaxIsDead anymore? 🤔

[@ForensicDetailing]

Yes m8 just out grew the unit. Hex needed it's own unit

[@markdean3217]

What did you protect it with after polishing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ForensicDetailing]

regen mate. ceramic spray

[@keithy363]

Lovely motor horrible exhaust had DTM style on my corrado for about a month then had to get rid

[@nanayaw1797]

[@jorgenjarl]

[@mikefraser5599]

[@freshlayersuk1259]

[@glenlittlefair4767]

[@davidboyce6427]

Jon this Martin is one of my favorite friends of yours because he has such a variety of cars he works on for customers. Not t mention he recovered nicely from his ankle surgery about 2 years ago 👌🫡 Continue to share Mr. Martin whenever he has time 👌. He’s AMAZING his knowledge 👌👌👌
