As the title says really, I have a lot of respect for the Pro Detailer's out there who do this for a living but I have been a little busy last weekend and here is one motor I completed within 4 hours:

Only a quick wash and wax but nevertheless a nice motor this one............. :thumbup:

I haven't been able to even wash the VRS mate. Sub Zero temperatures, 10cm of snow with caked on ice under that. I was as careful as possible when removing the bulk of the snow, but God knows what horrors are lurking for me when I get a chance to detail it.

Anyway, as ever, top notch work by yourself. Seasons greeting to you and Jules from a somewhat arctic Scotland. :rofl:

Know what you mean mate, I detailed the Superb a while ago and it's been tucked up out back while I have been driving around in the A6.............. :thumbup:

Will be back up in Scotland on the 10th January so hopefully the weather will be better by then............ :yes:

Merry Xmas to yourself from the both of us and I will be putting another detail up this break with some Jules content................ :rofl:

Just had a read of the thread there fella, top work! :thumbup:

Anytime you're in Yorkshire let me know as I have a skip that could do with a good detailing. ;)

Cheers, yeah he is looking to replace them in the next month or so......... :giggle:

Tomorrow should be the first "warm" day since I got my vRS, so hopefully gonna wash/clay and then machine some RMG on and couple of layers of Colly 845. I have already sealed the wheels and engine bay and also glass luckly.

I used the pressure washer to clean mine this morning......rinsed, foamed, rinsed, foamed and washed, rinsed and last touch before a drying towel....looked great :thumbup: drove to Swindon and back and it now looks the same as it did before I started :(

Glad to know it's washing easily mate and sounds like you have a good process, just a shame about this weather at the moment.............. :thumbdown:

The beemer looked stunning when I saw it on the Friday afternoon mate :thumbup:

Was stupidly cold that day too!! Never seen a wash bucket freeze over before :rofl:

Cheers Si and the Shogun didn't look too bad either, am just going to do a write up for it now............. :thumbup:

The wash area was like a flipping Ice Rink on the Saturday morning mate after that day........... :rofl:

Cracking job as aways... can't wait to finally get mine and have it properly treated, just wish it would stay like it!

Thanks Rich and not to worry, at least once it's done it will be easier to clean and I can stop seeing all these other nice VAG motors you have on FB............. :giggle:
