[@sruk]

Sorry everyone just see the comments about the thumbnail I uploaded a few videos this morning and got the the pictures mixed up the laptop is at the yard and Chris has popped out he will change it shortly 👍have a lovely evening ▶️

Have you accidentally shown us the next project?

Did I miss the figures on this ? The buy and sell

@@andywakefield9826 My thoughts 😅

[@stephenricketts7764]

I am pleased you showed this last video on this car. It shows the hard work you two do to make a vehicle presentable. As a former upholsterer I do agree that it would be easy enough for a trimmer to replace that section of the roof, the rest if it seems to have cleaned up well so coulor should match OK. If I was the person buying the car I would just buy a seat cover, its easier for the user to replace or simply take the new cover to the trimmer when having the roof done if you are not confident doing it yourself. Thanks for the video Rob and Chris we look forward to seeing the next one.👍

[@spainter1985]

Genuinely surprised how well them seats have come up! This will make a cracking rolling project for someone, great looking car

[@dogbite5509]

Those windows have come up sparkling and have really lifted the appearance of the car. You're right about doing the interior side too. Back in the day - when I knew no better - I used T-Cut to clean interior glass. That G101 is brilliant. Fantastic video Gents.

[@geion54]

You've done a bloody good job on that golf lads, whoever buys it can carry on with the restoration..

[@schon74]

Can't believe how nice the seats cleaned up , g101 is magic stuff 👍

[@michaelingoe5812]

That golf rob has come up a real treat, and the seats are looking mighty clean.

[@hoggmotorsport]

Definitely worth doing that last clean up video guys, unbelievable how good the seats turned out!! It's a nice little driving project for someone to finish off now all the hard works done 👍 spot on!

[@bear1245]

Missus: Rob, what have I told you about bringing car parts into the house 😂😂😂

[@paulmoore6345]

Tried your seat cleaning method. Works a treat. Paintwork looking really good now. 👍

[@limpet7r63]

Watching you blast the seats off with the pressure washer was ridiculously satisfying. Great job. Massive improvement.

[@wessmith3161]

Jet washing that front seat was so satisfying, I could feel myself wanting to grab the jet wash wand out of your hand.

[@grayfool]

Who doesn't love a good cleaning video. Nice one.

[@stuhukin5237]

Thanks again Rob and Chris. Great decision to make the video. Really enjoyed it. A great car for someone.

[@dangermouse957]

There is a reason I love your channel Rob. Learning heaps and living it

[@philtucker1224]

Rob, I’ve had an idea that might save you getting into trouble with the misses when you are drying seats: (using the bare metal rear area of an old van shell) on the side of your yard, make it into a “large metal box with doors” and then cut a hole in the lower part of the cab-end bulkhead, big enough to take a garage heater jet blower and cut grille outlets the other end roof for the hot air to go out. You can then put your wet seats in there and they should dry in just a few hours. Best regards from an old Thanet boy.

[@wilf18]

Nice presentable project. Bet it is already sold. Very tempting. Great video guys. Like the music. Very catchy.

[@ASH.......................1976]

I don't know why anyone would disagree with the way you clean seats Rob,they always end up looking great 👍

[@craigmeikle7634]

Have to say that G101 does work wonders, I didn’t think those seats would have come up as good as they did

[@akumar7366]

Everyone's favourite little car , so much character.

[@andrewarnold4402]

Love everything you guys do 2 truly honest men doing excellent work keep up the good work got some hoodies last year excellent quality

[@DazGeary]

To be honest Rob, I much prefer to watch you clean up a classic car than watch a throwback that I've already seen. Maybe in 10 years when my mind starts gettings Alzheimer's, then I'll watch the repeats 😂. Merry Christmas to Chris, you and yours.

[@markwgoldsmith]

Hi Rob - I think the difficulty with jet washing upholstery is that the jet can push the dirt into the foam, unless you angle it well, as you're doing. I use a dehumidifer to dry the car inside, it's a lot cheaper & more effective than heaters. Cracking video, as always!

[@waynewhitebeam1144]

Love your no nonsense approach with the seat cleaning Rob...G101, power wash, suck out excess water, dry, DONE....Fantastic result..😉👍👍👍

[@ched999uk]

Amazing clean-up, well done lads. You have managed to get a good useable classic back on the road, so nice to see. Well done.

[@skodakatie7341]

Wow this car cleaned up really well, and those seats, it’s a night and day difference❤️.

[@andrewgeorge2562]

Hi, Rob great job. light the log burner up!

[@neilfairless4589]

Rob, great base to start a project from. Cracking job on the clean up as well.

[@andy_v4443]

Wow them seats cleaned up great 👍👍 Nice solid project car for someone 👍👍 Great video guys 👍👍👍

[@The_journeyy]

Another lovely find 😍 used to see this running around when I was young you don't see them no more

[@Lot76CARS]

Rob, for your input that car is now a really solid base that even spanner weilding numpty like myself could have a go at! Well done, in keeping a modern classic on the road.

[@DJTonyCMP3]

Thank you very much guy’s for going the extra mile on this as I’m sure you are aware most channels leave so much out!! I’d much rather have a 45-60 minute video to get everything in

[@rizaanjappie]

Love the work ethic. No lazy bonez

[@herbiecostello5408]

I nearly broke my wrist and passed out during the seat jet wash 😂😂😂 Great video

[@johnrowell942]

Great job and thank Rob for the video. Someone will have awesome classic VW Golf 👍💯

[@lesrogers7310]

Wow, what a difference it makes cleaning the seats like that! I would have been nervous treating upholstery like that but i'm never too old to learn something new. Nice one chaps!

[@M.R.C.]

Great video, really enjoyed watching how effective your cleaning techniques were.

[@johncunningham1498]

Hi Chris and Rob, yeah that's a sore one, not just the front but the other damage not listed and no keys? I've read through coparts question and answers as such, there is a section for you to claim back if cars not as listed or there is other danage/lost keys....I'd look into it especially if u have original pic of car as they listed it? What a project....Ive been a tech for 38 years and still enjoy working on cars, I worked in a body shop and always enjoyed seeing my colleagues bringing cars back to life, therefore I as most of us will enjoy watch Chris work his magic once more..... In van u were a big down but finished video on such a high....let's get this engine running and then out.....let's push on guys......superb

[@tomtodhunter1776]

I'm really glad you made a cleaning video on the Golf. I can't get over how well those seats came up. It's going to be a great project for someone for a rolling restoration. Top work Rob and Chris.

[@chrisblay]

That G101 is good stuff. I really didn't think you would get that result on the seats.

[@steveegginton535]

Great job on cleaning the Golf Rob, it looks so much better after all your efforts. The new owner has the nice bits to do now to finish it off - paintwork, repair to the hood and the interior and I'd go for new wheels too. Sure it won't take long to sell.

[@denisebennett3144]

Looks great. Power washing worked a treat.

[@danpaul4975]

I tried your seat cleaning method, everyone else on the bus was WELL pissed off!!

[@iankane2847]

Never found any of your videos uninteresting regardless of what upload, keep up the good work👍👍

[@michaelhynds8035]

Very good work gents, well done. Thank you for sharing.

Intercooler soaking in the bath was the wife’s limit. Great Content Gents xxx

[@d4nzo]

glade you done another video on this, i like seeing these rarer cars apposed to just new stuff

[@jimschafer9196]

Rob love that G101 cleaner its the bomb ... and yes its nice to see the TLC and the shine it brings.

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Great video as usual gents.That G101 substance performs real miracles.

[@SD-oi9gr]

This is the exact kind of car you want. It’s not so pristine that you are scared to drive it for fun and keep it locked away from the world. It’s beautiful but just the right amount of used that you can genuinely live in it and enjoy it for what it was made for.

[@chrisstyles4630]

Came out looking really nice with a polish & interior clean great video Rob 👍

[@bedclintred]

Well worth a watch Rob, you done a great job. 👍😁

[@iTzCorey]

Wow those seats look brand new mate, never change the way you do things if it works and clearly it does lol!

[@vernonmatthews181]

Thanks for the valet of the Volkswagen, the g101 is the miracle cure for those seats, jetwashing is the quickest way to eliminate the deep soiling. A good motor trimmer would salvage that whole side as outlined. Eventually the next owner would need to investigate a solution for the passenger door corrosion, however as is / where is, is just fine. Thanks for sharing, thumbs up to g101. 😁😄👌👍

[@rouman7]

Another good job rob you have given that golf a new lease of life ….,

[@andygj66]

Great stuff Rob. That side on shot with the roof down took me right back to the 1980's!

[@loll1974]

Happy you made that video great job

[@johnshepherd4842]

Rob, A first class effort, the new owner will have a good base to bring it back to top condition

[@colinmiles1052]

Great video - thanks, I've used a Vax on seats in the past with good success. Doesn't take so long to dry, especially in the winter (avoiding domestic disputes!).

[@johnmontague4245]

Very nice Rob. The seats came up beautifully, 100% improvement. Another classic saved to drive another day. It’s always good to see the before & after shots of any restoration. You’ve got my nose twitching about the upcoming video… Cheers Rob & Chris… see ya Wednesday!

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Rob,yes what a difference that has made by cleaning the paintwork,the seats are like new.great video👌.

[@bretthale9290]

Can’t believe how well those seats cleaned up! Hate those wheels, BBS are the way to go to make it peeerfect! Thanks for another great video, keep them coming!

[@robp8218]

Sooo satisfying watching them seats come clean, love it.

[@nicoleandjamesbarden6924]

Why didn't you get your helper from the first wash to give you a hand in this video?😂😂Great content 👌

[@iainsallotment-plot5245]

Rob loves his super power stun gun of a jet wash is there nothing it won't clean

[@brianjoseph3818]

Looking lovely nice seeing the older cars get a face lift well done

[@JMc.D]

Bloody hell those seats came up like a cillit bang ad. We’ll have to start calling you Barry Scott

[@johnmcmahon4364]

Great job Rob that G101 must be magical stuff them seats came up fantastic

[@garysmith2845]

What a difference in the seats! 👍🏻

[@TheDaf95xf]

Amazing how those seats come out when you give them a good wash with G101 and getting involved lol 😆

[@kenlizzio7096]

Worth watching just to see the seats get cleaned.👍

[@AndrewSandilands-tk6st]

Nice useable classic which ain’t gonna break the bank 👌

[@zzhughesd]

Robs gonna wash this up like the lovely lassy from the summer. Sorry Rob. Couldn’t resist m. Love the channel and energy.

[@gerwkm4389]

Rob it will be sad not to see the Golf GTI in the background.i thought she was going to be the mascot for ever 😭😂😂 cheers Rob and Chris cracking video 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@TheMondeozetec]

Bloody good work on them seats, and please please jet wash the disc behind them !

[@andyspencer1010]

I love that g101 use it all the time now awesome stuff nice one Rob.👌

[@beerlodge5153]

Its a bit like that Baddiel & Skinner song from Euro 96, "30 years of dirt, never stopped me cleaning."

[@brucelangley5886]

Wow, what a difference, never would have thought. great well done.

[@godsboss6920]

What process do you use when mopping over it?

[@bastogne315]

I cleaned my seats same way after watchin you. Come up absolutely amazing. You da man Rob, u da man. 😍

[@benevans3733]

Yes the paint work has come up really well on the side you have done

[@v88krb]

As you have shown on many previous occasions, a good clean makes a huge difference but I, too, was surprised the seats came up as good as they did. Well done, guys, good video again, thanks. Would be curious to know how quickly this car goes to its new home. Cheers.

[@nevillemorley5926]

Wow, those seats came up brilliantly. Love to see what they do to the drop head. Maybe on another car. Good video.

[@johnhind3735]

I’ve just found out how Rob trainers are always looking clean G101 😂 great job on those car sets Rob 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Taylorsracevideo]

Meant to wash it first then mop it after lol also just a thought get a brush to rub the seats once you've sprayed the g101 on it to help agitate the muck and grime and it will lift easier and clean better

[@sruk]

You mop a clean car then wash it. Why brush the seats there is nothing a brush is going to do that the jet wash didn’t

[@mattwebber6763]

Cracking job on those seats Rob it's unbelievable what a bit of g101 and a pressure washer can do

[@davidmcaleer9508]

Rob are you going to put a set of original wheels on the golf.

[@richarddoogan963]

Please video the bit where your missus sees a soggy seat drying next to the radiator, there's going to be some comedy gold there mate

[@paulwatton2415]

Hi both, nice vid of u cleaning up the golf great job, I worked in a valeting shop and we used to steam jet was them and use the wet vac on them back in the car , park the car outside heater and blower on full blast for an hour or so dried out great , keep up the vids cheers

[@michaelpalmer6864]

Hi lads, that’s not a jet wash it’s a magic wand. Love it.

[@ianclare5721]

Really good to see how the little golf cleaned up, would have been good to have had a before (straight out of the barn) and after comparison shot. That will be a nice little project or even just a survivor car.

[@simonbroddle754]

Try closing the doors with the wet seats inside and put a mains dehumidifier on the floor behind the drivers seat. I my (limited) experience it will suck all the moisture out with no issues and the humidistat will tell you how dry it is inside.

[@sruk]

I used a wet vac then radiator 👍
