Baker21's Superb........gets Stripped Then Photoshot!!!

[Baker21]

Tom_vRS and I met up at on Saturday for a days detailing and maintenance............I basically agreed to detail Tom's new Octy vRS and Tom agreed to replace my Radiator, check the drain holes and also wind my coliy's down for me..........

I have posted up the link to the thread in the Styling and Car Care section but thought I would put up some of the pics here while Tom was stripping my car and also the photoshoot before he left in the evening:

For the full thread for work on Tom's car have a look here:

Thanks to Tom for his hard work on mine and anyone that needs any help or advice on their Superb when it comes to the car..........Tom know's his stuff...........

Nice work. Love the way your Suberb looks.

Nice work. Love the way your Suberb looks.

Thanks mate, Tom did a cracking job on the Superb and it runs so much better now than before...........having replaced the seals on the boost pipes it's running sweeter than ever and I am just amazed how easy he made it look..............

Eeek.... did the whole front end really have to come off to get the radiator out ?

Wish I had a nice covered area to work on Sat.

Well Tom would have to answer that question, he did a proper job in my opinion, cleaned all the intercooler hoses out and put a few bolts back on that I was missing originally......

Did you do the Avant at the weekend? Where are the pics?

[auroan]

I did some of the Avant.

Affraid I didn't get round to the valet/detail due to turning into a human icepop after 6 hours laid on snow etc.

Back on topic.... the photos look brill. Wouldn't have expected so much swirling on Tom's for such a new car.

Your right mate, you wouldn't expect it from a new low mileage car but this clearly highlights how important the wash process is.............

[Jon TDI]

Both cars look spanking............as ever!

You don't need to worry about it mate, you get others to do it at the shows...........

[mluton]

..........they can bve found if you pay them.............

[dsmithmobile]

I do pay them lol paid my mate with that blue ibiza cupra £20 just to give it a quick wash at edition 38 last year cos i couldn't be bothered to do it,i should get it properly detailed but my problem is that i just neglect it after its been done LOL

[mdk1]

Looks like you both had a fun day.

Whats with the Octy VRS Scout

[Tom_vRS]

Better? :P

[Tom_vRS]

Thanks for the positive comments guys!!! It was a fun day for sure.

The Passat/Superb is a joy to work on, really quite simple, just time consuming. Simons is better than models I've seen with half the miles!

As for the quality of the detail - I'm staggered, completely overjoyed!!!!

[mdk1]

Yeah, did see the choped pic at the end of the thread!

It definately aint no show car as show and shine cars need to be clean which is something my car will never be if you wasn't such a busy man and could make it to more shows then i'm sure you could walk away with trophys every time:thumbup:
