The OAP MK2 Golf gets the Auto Finesse Detailing Treatment

We love a MK2 Golf there's no denying it, so when we got the call to help freshen up this fine specimen before the show season ahead we already knew it would be a good week.
The car was in relatively good shape to begin with, so really just a deep clean, decon and single-stage were in order to get it looking its best again. We also had a helping hand from our friends at The Dent Men, and Aarron wrangled a few little dings out that we knew polishing would highlight.
Overall result: Pure Retro Perfection...

Never in my life had I seen a video on KZbin where the protagonist was a Golf Mk2 GL, it is the car that my father has owned for almost 20 years, it is the car in which I learned to drive, it is the car with which my love for Volkswagens was born, my father's car is a VW Golf Mk2 GL 1991 model with the same Sahara Metallic color, assembled in Mexico with German parts, when the parts had the Audi logo next to the VW, unfortunately my father's car doesn't look as good as this one but that doesn't mean it is not a beautiful car too, when my father dies in many more years, I am completely sure that this car will continue to be a part of my family for a long time. Thank you for your video and greetings from Mexico.

[@tombailey2142]

I really enjoy detailing my car I find it so relaxing. And watching this was relaxing to. Really cool retro car Great video 👍

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

We hear that often, people get a good sense of relaxation and escapism from detailing their car.

[@georgesedward2881]

[@dreamstealer9089]

Check out Forensic Detailing’s vid about pre rinsing before foam. Very interesting.

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Seen it - its an interesting topic and one thats been discussed in detail many times by some very experienced detailers and product techs. It's a matter of two things in fact. 1: The product its self and how it's been designed to work and 2: Your personal working preference. Our product is designed to go on a pre rinsed vehicle, it dwells long enough and is concentrated enough to do its intended job that way. I personally (James) am a believer that I like to rinse first before theres any product on a vehicle to ensure I can see any larger contamination actually being removed, before we end up with foam and soap all over the place. There's not a black and white right and wrong answer to this, actually thats the case with alot of "hot detailing topics" you do what works for you. We just show you our methods and how we like to work.

[@thevideogamer0mg99]

i love that steering wheel

[@7427665]

[@jamesking3162]

How would I go about getting my car detailed by you guys I think your products and services are amazing I only ever use auto finesse on my car now and it looks stunning every time Thanks guys keep up the good work

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Thanks for the support. Detailing isn't something we offer as a service but in the not too distant future there will be away of applying to get your car in the Academy. Hold tight.

[@TheDataUpsurge]

What’s them drying towels

[@BGabiga13]

Why iron out and TAR the last steps ? :)

[@antoniojesusmunozfernandez5062]

¿Alguien me puede decir que modelo de Rotiform son esas llantas?

[@lukepiasecki5978]

Awesome as always. Who grades your video however. Needs a bit of re-lighting - contrast and exposure. Nice one. 👌

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Thanks for the tip!

[@eugbrat]

Be nice to see your products work on a car that's dirty in the first place

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

I have a feeling you may not have seen many of our videos 🤔🤣 go checkout some of the big details. We get stuck in on the dirty dailies as well as the show cars.

[@eugbrat]

[@brunofriedman2601]

I don't think it's good to keep your eyes so close to the polishing sponge

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

🤔

[@Schizophonic12]

Wheres the whole team of like 12 detailers turning around 1 car? Now its just one guy doing 5 days work in 2 days.

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

We like to mix things up, big team stuff and single man and a machine work. We will be back with another big detail at some point soon.

[@yevhenyrachkovskyi2562]

Owner this golf, pls

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

This one was owned by Jay Mac of Players, however I believe he has since sold it to a friend.

[@eathonslambert3968]

Car should move around on a trailer only👍🏽 its too clean for the road
