Detail: MK2 Golf 8v GTI pre-sale spruce up.

Darlings, ahoy there.
In this video I'm tackling, what I think is, the best looking car ever made - a rare Mk2 Golf GTI 8v. This has been sat under a tree for about 9 months and needs a bit of llama love to make it really pop. The owner of the car chose my exterior deep clean and cleanse package.

I had a White small bumper Golf Gti 8v way back in 94 to 97. (B807 RLM) It was my 2nd car and already had 85k - I took it to 155k and it never missed a beat, only needed regular servicing and consumables. Can still remember embarrassing a guy in a 325i at the traffic lights who thought he'd get to the merge in traffic before me thinking it was 'just a Golf'. The Golf was rapid off the line up to 50/60mph! The BMW driver wasn't impressed. 😃

They really are the epitome of cool, aren't they? So capable but also practical...I guess the Golf has never really changed in that respect. I was a passenger in a MK8 Gti the other day, it's still all the car most people really need.

[@decker0373]

Super job and yes, it really is a good looking car.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

It's one of those things that's completely timeless in design isn't it?

[@1881Gordon]

That is actually a fantastic transformation of that car... Reminds me fondly of my Pearl Grey Jetta GTI16V. Fantastic colour with a great gloss and depth brought back to the paint - Good job.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Thank you! I've got such a soft spot for the Mk2, this colour seems to really suit it as well. Amazing how good the cleanser polish is at filling.

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

So true, I much prefer the retro cars like a golf compared to supercars. Great video.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Cheers! They're far more enjoyable do work on as there's far fewer creases in the surfaces to!

[@marknewlandmn]

I really enjoyed this video thanks for posting

[@trevdavis9234]

Wash plus was one of the first product video reviews I saw at the start of covid before I got into cleaning my car. Only used it once found the squeezey nozzle a pain getting the product out in the cooler weather, so it’s still in the shed

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Yeah I find that my forearm definitely gets a work out (settle down!); I never really use it on my personal cars unless it's pre-polishing, but professionally I use it reasonably often, due to the deep cleaning it gives.

[@HantsLeo]

Nice job and I agree about the plastics, they came up well enough I'm surprised the cleanser polish did as much as it did

[@SuperchargedLlama]

I agree on the trim, a lot of that was in very good condition (and the rear one, a bit of solution finish and then a ceramic coating on top, that would have them looking mint I think). I really think cleanser Polish is one of the best glaze sort of product on the market. Not that I've used loads of them, I do appreciate it that. Whack a good wax or sealant on top of that and you're well away.

[@jtcrow]

Stunning result! I'm sure it will wow the punters too!

[@SuperchargedLlama]

I hope so, I was sorely tempted myself but I haven't got anywhere to park it!

[@Geeky_detail_reviews]

Loved this video. Great transformation 👌

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment! If you've not seen it I think you may enjoy the Porsche Boxter I did recently too.

[@markmoore6264]

Very nice job on the Gti , I've got some wash plus in the garage I want to try when the hosepipe ban is lifted.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

It's very very good for two particular jobs - deep cleaning filthy cars, and stripping LSP. It can leave marring on soft paint though, due to how it works.

[@almosdell369]

Anyone else spot what looked like an e30 M3 in the garage? Very nicee

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Whilst it's not the one you see peaking out there, you can watch this one being done kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaCYYn6hqNapis0 Beautiful cars aren't they?!

[@SteveLBMK]

Excellent work - they didn't want the interior done as well?

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Nope not on this one (it wasn't too bad, definitely not to the point that it would put someone off buying it, I think they were going to give it a quick vacuum out). This was really all about making it look attractive for sale (without masking any potential problems, but also making it look as good as it actually is - I was MOTd the week before for example).

[@SteveLBMK]

@@SuperchargedLlama Am sure it sold in no time, lovely car 👍👍👍

You got that right dude!
