Detailed: Snow Aftermath on VW Toureg V10 TDI

Blake@NWAutoSalon · 12-29-2008, 03:15 PM

I know its not an Audi, but its in the family. Didnt take any pictures of the T-Reg prior to its first rinse but I assure you it was pretty bad. First pictures are post pressure wash pre-rinse:

BRING ON THE SNOWFOAM!

While the snowfoam does it work, we went onto wheels

Followed still by a thorough hand wash and post drying photos as well as the dirt at the bottom of our grit guarded bucket post washing:

Then onto claybar to remove paint contamination (a must after the roads have been sanded and is always done prior to machines touching paint finishes):

Followed by a Flex polish, Yellow Pad, Gloss-It One Step Machine Polish, EVP and QD for easy product removal:

My new favorite tire shine also made by Gloss-It which doesnt fling onto paint or fenderwells after letting sit for 5 mins or so, easy to apply and LASTS (also waterbased rather than silicone)!

Letting it sit:

Post detail photos:

Most products used in the detail today were all from our new line which is a waterbased (as opposed to solvent based emulsion) and not only are they enviro-friendly, safe, they produce fantastic results. The sealant combination produces a result rivaling our best Zymol or Swissvax carnuba wax here at the shop. Total time from start to finish for the detail was 4 Hrs, crazy what that little time will transform a filthy car into a awesome shine. Hope you enjoy!

AFAIK they don't get great mileage but I have heard from a friend that you can get around 20-22mpg on the highway with them. Not much worse than my S4...
