Since I was home and bored I decided to detail my mom's 08 R32 yesterday. It's pretty new but clearly she doesn't get it washed very often so it looked terrible. Once I got the grime off the paint actually looked fine, just a few very stubborn scratches on the roof from a tree branch (whoever said VW clearcoat is hard wasn't kidding). The process was:

-Wheels w/ Megs Wheel Brightener 4:1
-Tires, wells, exhaust tips w/ Simple Green 4:1
-Pretreat w/ Poorboys Bug Squash 2:1
-Wash w/ Megs Gold Class in a foam gun and a Schmitt
-Clay w/ Sonus Green and ONR as lube
-Menzerna SIP on LC CCS orange @ 1800rpm for scratches (took 3 or 4 passes)
-Menzerna 106FF on LC CCS green @1300rpm
-Menzerna Top Inspection wipedown
-Klasse AIO on LC CCS white via PC @ speed 5
-Collinite 845 on LC CCS blue via PC @ speed 4
-Collinite 850 on exhaust tips
-CG VRT on rear diffuser and other plastics
-CG Silk Shine on tires

Interior (sorry no pics):

-Vacuum
-Woolite 8:1 on leather
-Sonus Leather Conditioner
-Megs Quick Interior Detailer on dash and vinyl/plastic parts
-Plexus on gauge cluster and nav screen
-Stoner's IG on windows

And now for the pics:

Before





During (wheels done, foam sitting)



After







Sorry for the crappy garage pics, it was raining all day today so I didn't want to pull it outside.

didn't know the R32 was carried over to the new body style.

They aren't in canada so I don't know much about the model. What are the specs on it?

Good work. Car looks great.

That wouldn't be a 993 Porsche in the 3rd picture down?

Pretty much the same as the last model, although it's a bit heavier and it has the DSG transmission now.

Nope, it's a 997 4S I need to take some pics of that, it recently got some new mods.

The after pictures look great. Wouldn't the Simple Green hurt the wheels?

very nice work

I actually like the "before" look of the wheels better. Of course, that's probably because I just got used to the look of my never cleaned BBS wheels!

I only use simple green on the wells, tires, and exhaust tips. If a little bit gets on the wheels it won't hurt them at all, especially since I cut it 4:1 with water.
