Joyriide Detailed: GTI, Cayenne GTS, and 335i Coupe
Have not had time to post thse up here. In fact I barely have time to take before and during pictures simply because I'm tired of spending all day detailing a car, so any time saved is good for me. I've even hired a helper for all my details, that way instead of spending 10-12 hours, I can bump it down to 6 hours max on full details. I'll clay the hood, and while I begin polishing it, I'll have my helper clay the rest of the car, vac the interior, buff off product, apply dressings, ect. Of course I give it all a final inspection but having someone do the miscellaneous aspects of a detail really makes it all worth it, even if I make less.
First up is a white MKV GTI. Owner drove a pretty long way to have me do it so I was honored to work on it. He stuck around and learned a bit. Meguiars #95 Menzerna 106ff Pink Wax OCW ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Cayenne GTS
I went mobile for this one. Knocked it out in 5 hours. Car was in great condition. I was lucky enough to be able to detail inside the owner's A/C'd garage. No outside shots because it was raining pretty bad. I was hoping the owner would grab some nice shots later on in the day.

This coupe was dropped off @ 1pm and was ready for pick up by 6pm. 5 hours and it was done! Owner unfortunately was not able to pick up his car until the following day, so the car spent the night in my garage. Pictures were takent he following morning.

Amazing work as always! The Montego looks very deep and rich. I'm with you on long detailing times. It gets old quick! Everytime I detail a car I have to remind myself why I put myself through it.

Looks nice -- any reason you went with Z5 over Klasse AIO instead of pairing with Klasse SG?

Klasse AIO is the perfect base for almost every LSP, I don't favor Klasse SG.

Eagle One's Wet Shine "Gel" spray. Thus far durabilty is very good, and their "no-sling" promise has been kept.

Both the Cayenne and 335i received a healthy coat of CD-2 Engine detailer, buff off with a terry cloth after sitting for about an hour.
