Platinum Grey Leon FR TDI Hybrid - The End!

[Staszek20vt]

Great job with the garage mate, I have done some cleanings in my (not really mine, rented) garage too a week ago and today I've just read this

July is coming Maz and I'm planning a short trip to UK, hope to see you.

Wow Stan you been busy collecting products! I see the detailing bug has got you too.

July sounds good - let me know when and I will try and get Slick round as well.

Garage Makeover #8 - The Studio is nearing completion

Think I may need more shelvings as I got a fair few new products coming. Hmmm.

You got an alarm system fitted to the garage Maz ?
I cant make my mind up whether to link mine to the house system or have a standalone system, I'm leaning towards linked as the house one is pretty good.
When you weigh up the cost of whats stored there it gets into the £1,000's and thats without a car in it.

Garage will be alarmed for sure Dave. Like you I am considering various options, weighing up costs etc...

i am trying to get my garage built asap ,

look in local freeads / gumtree for anyone having a new kitchen , so u can have the old cupboards n worktops etc

can always paint them piano black then , borrow a compressor and buy a few ltr's of it and spray spray spray !!

mk1 Platinum Seat Leon FR TDI :: 4 Day Mega Detail :: 35 Hours

Since the detailing cave / workshop has been finished I went a little bit mental on the car. Think this will be the last detail I post up on my own car for a while me thinks.

How'd you get on with the Werkstatt?

How'd you get on with the Werkstatt?

Cant speak for Maz but I find it really good, now Maz has shown me how to use it it gives a nice wet finish

 

[UncleFester]

Yep it does .... it's not the easiest thing to work with though, especially not by hand ... and the paint has to be flawlessly smooth when you use it - or at least that's been my experience.

Worth the hard work though

 

[D.K]

The jet sealent can be a bit of a pig to get off but a bit of QD helps

Cheers guys!

How'd you get on with the Werkstatt?

Definitely one of my favorite group of products. Very similar to CarLack products imo. I assume you are referring to the Prime? Trick it to apply it very thin and let it cure for around 10 minutes. Once its fully cured and hazed it should come off easily. Depending on level of cleansing you want, applying with a DA will activate a lot of the solvents more than by hand. Prime Strong is much more powerful than Prime...

Car looks spanking fella.

Yep referring to the prime - one of the first things I used and tbh .... i wish i'd persevered with it I still have a bottle of each in the back of the garage, maybe i'll give it another go

Nice one Maz. Never ceases to amaze me how a really clean car like yours can still benefit from a detail of this standard. Awesome mate.
