Dirty 15 Year Old VW Golf GTI Deep Clean and Full Detail | EXTREME FILTH WARNING!!!

[@ForensicDetailing]

Notes (thanks for watching as always and I do read the comments just cant always reply to all of them): a) yes in ideal world we could get the PDR guys timing perfect before we start paint correction but its not always possible so we have to do some tidying up. b) front headlights are being replaced with brand new Xenons so we didnt do much work on the old ones at customers request (it would be pointless) c) this was a 2 day detail essentially (had the car for longer but other work was booked in) d) if your serious about having work done please contact freshlayers for quotes. The quote for this job is private between the company and client. e) This was an exterior detail. inside got just quick a quick vacuum as a matter of courtesy. f) we had a blast making this its important to say we dont deliver perfection but we are very proud of how well the car came out within the time constraints g) You are welcome to direct personal insults at me. But if you make any form of insults about anyone else appearing in this video you are HIGHLY likely to be banned rapidly. h) remember you are watching a video that is heavily edited to flow quickly as we cant show you all of it.

I never understand why people let their cars get so bad. It’s the second most expensive thing you’ll ever buy 🤯. Cracking work guys

Mostly because they aren't car guys. Even a daily car should be treated well, washed, maintained etc... But non car guys don't care about that sadly

[@davidfrank2824]

I'm telling you car detailing is on a complete different level then it was when I was growing up. Back in the 80s and 90s I had taken my car to different places that was supposed to be great at their job. I never received the results I was looking for. So that's when I started just doing it myself. Even with me doing it never seen good enough. You have to remember back then we didn't have the internet the only tips you could get was out of hot rod magazines and word of mouth. I think with the internet it really helped change what car detailing is today. I think what you guys did with this car was phenomenal. You're attention to every detail was fantastic. I really look forward to seeing what you do next.

My thoughts and hopes precisely. Anyone who neglects a car so much allowing it to get to that state doesn't inspire a lot of confidence though. Some countries like Portugal are quite rightly starting to fail very dirty cars on MOT. The Golf should have failed years ago for the perished tyre alone. It didn't get to that state overnight.

I could have done so much more to it but in this game you do what the customer wants but do it better than they expect. A 20 minute video really doesn't show the amount of effort that it takes to get these kinds of results. It's hard work! Car looked great when finished and you could see the clients were well pleased.

Rented a carpet cleaner, polish the car heated the black plastic trim, and gave them some plastic restorer and protecting and topped the paint with a good wax. The engine bay was wiped down and was looking clean but not overly clean and non of this Shine make-up. He put the car up for sell after a week and 2days after he sold it for at bit more. He was so happy, not because he made a little more money. But because he actually found it pleasing to clean and polish his car and it was easy'er than he thought.
