RESTORATION DETAIL - MK2 VW Golf GTD

After 33 years, this battered, daily-driven 1990 Golf GTD 1.6 received a multi-stage paint correction with added protection and a thorough interior clean. At around 3.5 days to complete, this was a huge challenge but also extremely rewarding, including myself in both the history of the vehicle and also helping to preserve a piece of automotive history - keeping heads turning over 3 decades after it was built!

Great work! Just a friendly advice about audio. Don't know what software you are using, but try searching about "sound normalisation" and specially "multiband compressor" if you're using Adobe or just "Compressor" if you're using Audacity. Your voice is really quiet and songs are really loud, so audio needs to be normalised. Also, I would recommend, after you apply compressor, to normalise audio to -2 dB (0 dB is "max loudness" in audio software, that can lead to clipping and other problems with audio). Cheers.

[@blackstonedetailing]

Thank you very much! And thanks for the advice! I will be sure to do that in the future 🤝

[@tripsingh3642]

Second time I have seen this video excellent work 👏 I wanted to ask what dilution ratio are you using green star, been using bilt hamber surfex hd but find it stains black plastic think ill change to green star

[@blackstonedetailing]

Thanks so much, glad you like it!! For interior cleaning, I always go for 20:1 with no problems and works well. For the exterior I'll usually go 10:1 but to be honest I use KCs Vorreiniger more for exterior cleaning! Bit more powerful 💪

[@tripsingh3642]

@@blackstonedetailing Thanks for the nice comment 👍 this is the concentration I use 1 10 on the exterior as well. Wow do you mean the koch chemie VB if so I brought some last year have not not used it yet as I will be using in the winter months, if so I'll be interested to know the concentration you use on the exterior with VB as the instructions are not clear, mine mentions 1 15 for cowax remover to 1 300 very confusing

[@blackstonedetailing]

@@tripsingh3642 no problem! That's the one, Koch Chemie VB. Really good in the winter months, and also in the summer! Because you can use it as a snow foam it gives you that extra safety of dwell time on the surface. Powerful and versatile, I really rate it 👍 I always use it @20:1 or 15:1 in a foam cannon for the paint, and 10:1 on the wheels and tyres

What a great work on such a nice car! If you dont mind me asking, how much did you charge this lucky guy of a car owner? It seems like at least 1 or 2 days of work for you.

[@blackstonedetailing]

Thank you so much! This job took around 3 days. It was a hot time of the year so lots of breaks! I valued this at around a €600 job 😊

[@svensvensson7902]

@@blackstonedetailing Thank you for the answer! Sounds fair to me for the time and that result!

[@tripsingh3642]

Nice what's the tyre dressing you are using

[@blackstonedetailing]

Thank you! In this video, I use Turtle Wax Tyre and Plastic Dressing 🐢 but I have since moved to Carpro Perl, as I prefer the finish 😎

[@neilhaas]

Besides my models BMWs too.

Precisa aplicar um vitrificador para proteger.

Obrigado pelo vosso comentário! Eu utilizei uma cera, Soft 99 Fusso Coat. Pode ver no vídeo 😁

[@franciscoe.e.9602]

Un buen trabajo, pero las tapas de los tornillos de las ruedas en rojo....algo fuera de lugar, mejor como de origen, es mi sincera opinión.

[@blackstonedetailing]

Muchas gracias! Y gracias por su evaluación 😊

Hello , excellent job big big likes i love the red color

golf for sale?

[@blackstonedetailing]

I'm afraid not, sorry! The customer drives it every day 😁

[@Justin-j6u]

Grand turismo (diesel)? idk.

[@blackstonedetailing]

Think that's it yeah!

[@Ivoetuk]

I don't know why i love this junk car. I own two golfs mk2. This summer i have bought one golf mk2 without engine for only 150€ only because it had electric recaro seats and then the car went to the scrap

[@blackstonedetailing]

I love them too! I imagine the recaro seats were probably worth 150€ alone!!

[@Ivoetuk]

@@blackstonedetailing in my country there were a two front recaro seats like mine and they were selling them for 900€
