Eldrid's MkV GTi Detailed by Etiennè

Post by Deranged_9n3 »

When Eldrid rocked up to my house in his MkV GTi, I immediately noticed that this car was exceptionally well kept. Having a bit of a chat with Eldrid before he left, I came to the conclusion that he wanted this to be one of the cleanest MkV's in the country. Onto the detail now :oops:

Before

As you can see this car was clean when it arrived. After digging for some proper pics, I came up with these. Note. this is general day to day dirt and nothing out of proportion

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I took all the carpets out of the car and got my compressor out to ensure that I reach all the hard to reach spots. This pic was taken after I blew dirt out beneath the seats and seat rails etc.

Image

:lol: Like I said. This is a clean example !!

I did not get around taking many 50:50's as I went along. This was the pictures that I took after the detail :cool:

Not always that easy tbh. A dirty car, you can vacuum it and see an improvement.

Vacuum a clean car and the owner will think you haven't done a thing. So you really have to be on top of your game with a clean car like this. If you miss 1 spot it will immedietly picked up by the owner.

It's great fun though

She is a great clean example of an MKV. Probably few in the country that can rival the condition.
Owner should register here for some attention

Thanks for making me understand. My initial understanding was that the question was why there was no general attention for this car, which was why I found the question strange in the absence of a rides thread.

Maybe this detail is getting less comments due to one of your previous statements, about it being harder to impress on a car that is so well looked after by the owner?
